I don't know why you wouldn't go to sleep last nite, but obviously that makes for a VERY cranky morning. Please, please go to bed tonite...momma cannot survive multiple wake-ups again and a morning with 2 tantrumming, sobbing toddlers...
Love, mommy who thought once we survived the newborn phase we would be sttn...
ps. what's up with peeing all over the place this weekend???
What you said to me yesterday morning regarding losing our baby was completely, totally inappropriate. You don't need to know whether we were trying or whether it was an "oops". Even if it was an "oops" that doesn't make the loss any less significant. Further, our plans for our family are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Signed,
Can't believe you said what you said.
Dear DH,
I'm sorry I've been a miserable wreck. My body is all messed up and emotionally, I'm hanging by a thread. I'm doing my best, I promise and I'll get through this. Some patience on your end is appreciated.
Signed,
Doing my best
Dear DS,
Thank you for stopping the everyday throwing up. I really appreciate it. Thanks too for being so incredibly awesome. I love you dearly.

You have been a parent for over 10 months now. Why is it that you have to be asked to do everyday things like: clean the bottles that are in the sink, do a load of LOs laundry or clean up after LO eats? These things don't magically happen. There is no reason I have to be the one to clean them everyday. Do you think I enjoy spending 30 minutes a day emptying the dishwasher, putting bottles in it and then running it again? Just, because a dish in the sink isn't yours, doesn't mean you can't clean it.
My first day returning to work (after 8 weeks maternity leave).
Dear co-worker.
When I say that it's good to be back at work as I do like my job, please don't respond "more than your kid?". I may have become a mom, but that's not my only identity.
i understand you are older than dirt and your "this is probably inappropriate i shouldnt say this" filter doesnt work, but you dont need to tell me how big ive gotten or ask me how much weight ive gained.
sincerely, me
Dear DF's grandpa,
there is no need to call and wake me up at 6am for a non emergency. that is aggrivating and i couldnt go back to sleep. if i dont answer the first time,and its not an emergency dont keep calling till we answer.

Dear MIL,
thanks for giving out my phone number WITHOUT my permission. I'll be sure to call and wake you up and hour before you need to be up with something really non urgent. We didnt give out that number for a reason, so thanks a heap.

Dear BIL/SIL,
why on earth is your child 3 years old and not PT? why is it your parents job to PT her? also when you bring your kids to my house, when i tell them not to go in a certain room, or not to do certain things, dont let them keep doing it. i dont appreciate you ignoring your 3 kids while they tear up everything they see. i get kids will be kids, but its your job to teach them how to be respectful in other peoples houses.

That is the rudest thing I have read in a long time. So sorry someone had the nerve to say that to you!
Yeah... Fortunately a conversation with my manager made up for it. She asked if I was happy to be back, and when I responded that it was good to return and I was happy, her response was, "Good! We missed you and we're glad to have you back!"
