    Lol I agree. they just want a dry butt, a warm place to sleep and a full belly at that point.

    DH would tell me to deal with it if I went into a meeting he was in to comfort oneof our kids. I would think he was crazy if he tried to do that to me. Figure it out.

    FWIW-many churches especially Catholic have Wednesday mass.

    Well the crazy thing is that she immediately calms down when he takes her.. She is a daddy's girl

    I was going to say that the poor baby wants to be in bed instead of an evening church meeting.  That's why she's fussy.  I'd let DH go alone and stay home with LO.

    I wasn't there just because of his meeting, we went to church.  It was at 7, and she doesn't go to sleep until 10. Thats not why she was fussy..

    so you interrupt a meeting so your husband can calm the baby since you can't?  I am cringing for you!

    I agree and def would not interupt a meeting for this. Even if it is easier to for my DH to soothe her, I would just try harder.

    I agree.  I would only interupt DH in a meeting (any kind) if DS was completely inconsolable and I had tried EVERYTHING to calm him down.  DH would do the same.

    Sorry if I sounded snarky.  My DD has a meltdown if she's not in bed by 7, so we can't do many evening activities with her.  10 sounds like a late bedtime to me, but maybe your LO gets to sleep longer in the morning than mine.  She wakes at 6:30 or 7 and is at daycare by 8.  We used to think we could keep her up to 7:30 or 8, but it was meltdown central, so we kept moving her bedtime earlier.

    10 is REALLY late for a 3 month old.  i am guaranteeing she wants to / would go to sleep earlier if you allowed it.

    I bet she would do well with an earlier bedtime...

    With that said, dd has always calmed down more easily with dh.  When she was smaller and fussy, dh would hold her against his chest and she would calm down and just melt into him.  I would try to do the same and she'd arch her back and hated it.  I wouldn't necessarily say she was a daddy's girl at that point, but something about the way he held her did calm her down.  Would I interrupt his mtg. for it?  No.

    Her, "You can't interrupt a meeting!" Me, "Umm.. Sorry, but I want to calm my baby, and that is more important than me worrying about interupting a meeting for 30 seconds!"

    This makes you sound like such a freakin brat. Truly.

    No worries, I didn't think you were trying to sound snarky.. Just goes with my op that ppl think they know my dd better than me Stick out tongue

    Honestly about the sleep thing, I would love love love for her to sleep earlier.. We have tried everything possible..From puting her down just a little bit earlier, to about an hour earlier, and she just own't sleep. She takes 2 good naps everyday, and sometmes even another short one, so I don't know if thats why she won't.. I really don't know how to get her to sleep earlier

    OP...why are you even defending yourself to these people!  You were venting... not asking for opinions!

    Maybe she meant that she could tell the dad would spoil her rotten because she was a girl and she already had him wrapped around her finger at 3 mos? I say this because that's how it was for dd and dh.  All she had to do was smile and he melted.  Something about dads and daughters.  I can already see the relationship with our son is different---he loves him to death and is quite happy to have a little boy now too,  but it is different than it was with dd.

    Um, my Dh can often soothe Ds when I can't because his big broad muscular shoulder is much more comfy than my narrow bony one. I'm buying that her Dh could more easily comfort her DD, but no way would I interrupt a meeting to have Dh help me with the baby, unless something was seriously wrong.

    It is very funny how alot of the replies are people doing exactly what you were complaining about, acting like they know your dd better than you!

     For the poster who said its not possible for her to be a daddy's girl at 3 months, that is very much not true.  My dd was definitely a daddy's girls from the get-go, she would calm down much more quickly when he held her and talked to her than when I did!  Now she seems to have days where she responds better to me, and days where she responds better to DH, it just depends on her mood,  or who she has seen more that day.  For instance, if she spent all day at home with me, when dh gets home from work, she's only got eyes for him!

    Also-as for the bedtime thing, again, those of you who are posting that 10 is too late, that may be the case for YOUR DC, but not for her dd.  Once dd started to sttn around 2 months, she would go to bed around 1030 or 11 and sleep until 6 or 7.  Somewhere around 6 months she just started getting sleepy earlier, she'd go to bed around 830 but still sleeping until 6 and now she sleeps from about 730-730.  I just wasn't one of those moms that worried about dd going to bed by a certain time if she wasn't tired.  Otherwise we'd just be in for a 2 hour scream fest while we tried to convince a baby who wasn't the least bit tired to go to sleep 2 hours early!  Now that dd does have an earlier bedtime, it has gotten a little harder to be away later, so we either don't  make late plans or we have someone stay with her if we truly have to be somewhere. 

    As for people acting like they know your child better than her own parent (how obsurd is that??), just adopt the technique I started using when I got slammed with unsolicited advice from the second I started telling people I was pregnant, just smile and say "Ok thanks for your opinion" and walk away :)
