Small Vent.

My son turns 3 months in 3 days. My husband has been gone for 6 weeks yesterday to Afghanistan, so I had my best friend and son's godmother move in to help me for 7 months till my husband is back. She was willing and had nothing better to do. (She stays with me for free, I buy food, pay the bills, and she uses my car to go to work for free, though she does pay for gas.) And my brother in law is staying with us for 2 more weeks on top of being here one week already.

Let me just say, I want everyone out. Not because I don't appreciate it, I really enjoy the help they are giving me, but I just want my house back the way I, I, I, want it. Towels where they go, cleaning done the way I want it, dishes where I put them, even keeping the curtains open! And I know that 99% of this feeling is just hormones and missing my husband, but... well, I need to just vent that little bit.

 Anyway, vent done. All better.

I'm not sure if you're looking for any responses, but I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry! I don't really like when people are in my house and don't do things the way I like (this is including DH!!!)

 

It's hard to be without your husband, even if he doesn't offer much help with the baby (like mine, haha). It still feels like you're missing something. I hope that will get better soon, and I hope that you won't feel as upset soon!! Maybe you should talk to your friend and explain this to her, since she's supposed to be a help, not a bother!

Thank you for the sympathy. It really does make me feel like I am not going crazy. And she does help quite a lot with the baby when I need him watched for a couple minutes. It's when you have a set way of doing something and it's not done that way, it can really drive you CRAZY!

 

And yes, I think the hardest part is not having DH here. He's such a help with the baby, fortunately, and emotionally supportive for me.
