ARGH! Child care vent

Melissa2216 · January 2012

MIL picks DS up early from day care on Wednesdays sometimes. She emailed last night and asked if there was anything new she needed to know. I told her he gets solids now as well as 1 bottle of formula in place of his 2nd breastmilk bottle (I can't keep up w/ pumping). I explained that they have the formula at day care, so she would need to get it from them and mix it there before taking him.

I come home at 4:30 to find out that 1) he missed his afternoon nap and has been awake for 4 hours, 2) he only had 2 bottles--at 9:30am and 2:00--instead of his normal 3 bottles. He didn't get a bottle of formula at all today. She just skipped over his second feeding. She said, "well they had just given him solids at 10:30. That probably kept him full."

DS usually naps at 4:30 while I pump, but when I tried rocking him he was starving and had to nurse. So there goes that pumping session. He's now napping, and I'm trying to figure out how to cram in an extra feeding so he gets the calories he needs. I already cluster feed at 5:30, 6:30 (solids) and 7pm. I also don't know how long I should let him sleep since he's behind on napping. (It's now 5:45pm and he's been down for almost an hour. I hate to wake him, but I guess I have to.)

Oh, AND he came home wearing someone else's socks.

Oh, ANDPLUSALSO, after work today I stopped at the grocery store, and a guy followed me down an aisle and said, "excuse me, mam? will you marry me, cuz you look GOOD." Ick! I was so disgusted, I gave him a dirty look and said, "I'm married" and walked away quickly.
