if my mom says this one more time!

momranda · February 2011

I'm going crazy with the "advice" my mom keeps giving me with the disclaimer of "but you've never had a baby before.."

Today she seriously told me to make sure I don't have my 3 week old in the sun for too long, like I would actually leave him outside to sunbathe. I don't even go out in the sun for prolonged periods of time without sunblock or shade, I certainly wouldn't take my son outside for longer than a few minutes with direct exposure to the sun. Just needed to rant a little.

i'm loving how my mom keeps commenting on how i'm bigger every time she sees me, and what a big baby DS must be.

seriously, does your having given birth to me allow you to say whatever you want about my pregnant body? cause i don't think it does.

I know how you feel! My mom is so sweet and supportive, but is driving me NUTS! EVERY single time she talks to me (often multiple times a day) she asks how the baby is doing. Seriously!!! I don't know... still baking? I mean what kind of question is that. I try to just take a deep breathe and say fine, but it is such an annoying question. Sorry my rant is now over too!! LOL

My mom is driving me around the bend by calling EVERY DAMN DAY and asking some variation of "how do you feel? Is anything going on? Any twinges?"

Yesterday she called and practically insisted that I must be in labour because she "had been thinking of me all day". Yes, logically this means I am in labour, you nut.

What drives me the MOST crazy is the fact that she is an intelligent woman who is a LABOUR AND DELIVERY/POSTPARTUM NURSE. SHe should know better, ffs.

I thank my lucky stars to have my Mom and her sometimes unnecessary and unwarranted advice.. She wasn't as lucky when she had me and my 2 brothers since she was only 13 when her own mother passed away. I just recently moved 5 hours away from home and I honestly get excited every day when I get her call to ask how I'm feeling and if we're making any progress.. It hurts to know that I'm going to have my first child without her close enough to be able to travel down here at the drop of a hat and be with me like she has been my entire life through every major event.. :-(

haha my mom was the total opposite when I was pregnant, doubting the severity of the contractions I was having. She even said to me after I had my son "how disappointed" she was that I had an epidural. Coming from the woman that had 2 scheduled c-sections in the 80's where they put you out completely, and never experienced the process of labor and delivery it felt like a slap in the face. Especially since I didnt even get the epidural until an entire day of contractions.
