totally going to have to punch her in the face

Sonya Flanagan · January 2009

my husbands brothers wife, I now refuse to acknowledge her as my SIL, just tried to tell me how "bad" it was that I wasn't going to have baby sleep withus. And when I came back on her and told her all the statistics and the death/injury rates she blocked me on messanger and myspace. Wow lady, you're so mature! What's the deal with the bitc*y advice from family and friends? I can handle it from strangers because I don't have to see these people at Christmas and family reunions. Screw her, he's sleeping in his bassinet.

WTF, is she stupid? Tell her to STFU, its your baby, not hers.

I agree with you 100%.

I've been getting slack from people for not using a bumper. Go tell them to have their own kid so they can stop worrying about yours.

One of my DH's friends "co-sleeps" as she calls it. When she found out I was pregnant she tried giving me all these reasons for why I should co-sleep too. I told her I would never do that because of all the deaths that happen from babies suffocating or falling out of the bed or whatever. Her response was "well you'll feel differently when you have the baby".

I can completely understand not wanting to leave your baby's side for a second... but I'd rather my baby live and sleep in a bassinet next to the bed than have me or DH roll over ontop of him/her.

I think it's just jealousy. My sister says b**tchy things to me sometimes, and then I realize it's just because she's 4 years older than me and hasn't had a baby yet.

roseinpain · January 2009

i can't stand it!

my DH's friends (and my own-but i ignore mine) have been telling him things to do and so on, and he actually started talking to me about how we should listen to them.

yeah, sorry OUR kid OUR decisions

good for you! standing up for yourself!

sarcole530 · January 2009

Is she an idiot? Wow.. tell her to look up SIDS on the internet and see what it's all about. I don't blame you. No one who has a brain should let their child sleep in their bed when they are so tiny!

Mary0913 · January 2009

Tell her to sleep with her own kids and that you and dh want the bed for yourselves! Bassinets are so much safer - I wouldn't even be able to sleep knowing that my little girl could be rolled over on, smothered with blankets, layed on by the dog, etc. What a biotch!!

lbap · January 2009

Wow!

I must be the devil to her because we are starting with the baby sleeping in a crib, in the nursery. We are not even having the baby in our room with us. There is no way we would be able to sleep one wink with worrying about all the little sounds of the baby in the room with us! lol...

Blocked from my space? You must be?devastated?and now can take the time to think about how wrong you are. She sounds like fun.

When DS was born I thought we would co-sleep as well but we ended up not doing it for a few reasons #1: he is such a light sleeper that anytime we moved, he would wake up, #2: we were first time parents and every little whimper he made would wake us up and would, in turn, wake him up. Those first nights were exhausting and then we got smart and put him in a portable, vibrating (wonderful!) bassinet next to our bed so that we knew when he needed changing, feeding, etc but we could all sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time. We are planning on doing the bassinet with #2 as well! Also, with the portable version, I could take him anywhere (laundry room, kitchen, living room, etc.). That way he could sleep and I could keep an eye on him (like he was going anywhere, but still!) GL with the husband's brother's wife (not SIL!)

heart broken actually Wink

mommabarker09 · January 2009

WOW!! She is just stupid. Obviously the main reason I don't want the baby actually in our bed is because of the health risks, but also once you start it's a hard habit to break and they baby will be 3 still in your bed, and you haven't gotten laid in god knows how long!! LOL

Mrs.Kent · January 2009

Is she still giving you a hard time over that? Didn't she say you were going to be a horrible mother because of it? What a cow, it's too bad you're stuck with her in your family!

IselaCid · January 2009

While what she did was immature and dumb, please don't assume all co-sleeper are idiots. Many of us have done our research and co-sleep safely.

Mrs_mam · January 2009

Too bad you can't punch people through the computer.

momsthree · January 2009

Wow Mrs. Howdy.....This will be my third in a bassinet. Baby and I both sleep better! What a beetch! Your child, your choice.....end of story!

our baby will be in the same spot for the same reasons- and how immature is your SIL

October30th2004 · January 2009

My step-cousin let they baby sleep in bed with them and he died. I am not chancing it. It's something you can't take back. Very sad. We never got the whole story but it didn't sound good.

volleydiva · January 2009

WTF! Some people, I have been listening to everyone's advice, but not really making any comments on the ones I don't agree with as to not start up a conversation I would rather not have with these ding dongs that don't believe we can make our own decisions. My In Laws don't really talk to me that much, so I don't have that much of a problem with them. They are all cool as can be, but they are not a close family by any means! Good luck with the Crazy Beotch!
