MIL Vent - LONG

jenn_darrin1515

she's been here since last wednesday and yesterday was the first day she actually helped out...I guess I will just hope that it continues...thank god she is staying at my parents...but still - she overstays her welcome every day...dh's sister and husband have come every night for dinner too...I need a moment to myself and soon!

Last night SIL & BIL left about 8:30...but perfect timing because that is when we start the girls bedtime routine...which isn't much now - we cha nge them, bathe them if it's bath day and put them down...it is important to me that it is dh and I doing this b/c it is the only time that we are guaranteed "family" time during the day...well mil grabs ava out of dh's arms to change her and announces to dh that he should head up to bed and she'll help me with the girls...I was fuming...so I had to tell her that it's important their bedtime routine be family time with dh and I...I am mad dh didn't tell her this and I am mad at myself for feeling guilty about having to say it...but seriously - she was here 12 hours yesterday...she is here for half a amonth...she doesn't have to be hear morning, noon and night....grrr...thanks for letting me vent! But I think she gets grabby with the girls and it pisses me off...

oh and yesterday milina was super crabby all morning (turns out it was gas)...but she makes me feel inept as a parent saying somethings not right (all concerned), and she's wimpering...making me feel like I should have thought to call the doctors on this issue hours ago...seriously...she's a baby...a couple hours of fussing on and off is normal...

And this is the last one I promise - I told her that my mother was going to be coming with me to their 2 month doctors appt. monday...and I thought she understood that meant not her...but somehow she thinks all three of us are going...I don't &$(##&@$(* think so...the girls do not need that many people there....and I certainly don't either...not to mention the rooms hardly fit 2 people and 2 babies anyways they are so tiny...grrr....ok...vent over....I am just tired of feeling like the bad guy tellling mil she can't do something when anyone with common sense would figure it out on their own....

Yuck that sucks and a month and a half of dealing with her.  Good luck and remember you don't want your babies visiting you in jail.
