My semi-annual mom complaint post! Part 1 (we're only on day 2 so I'm sure more will follow):

DH and I were upstairs putting together some shelving I bought for the toys. My mom was watching the boys downstairs. I heard her say something about "cleaning the blankies," and yelled down to her to not put the blankies in the washing machine because they kids needed to go to bed in about 5 min and they won't sleep without them. She responded "no I won't."

So next thing I hear her telling the kids "Okay and in an hour they'll be all fresh and clean!" I yelled down again "Hey, mom, don't put those blankies in the washer," and she said "I already did!" WTF. I went downstairs and was like "Did you seriously just do that? They need to go to sleep!" She was like "Oh well I thought they could just stay up an hour later and then they'll sleep in tomorrow!" Oh! Great! They'll sleep in! That way I'll get to miss my morning exercise class that starts at 9am. Sweet!

They went to bed at like 9pm. Bedtime is 7. Whoooooooooooo doooooooooooooooooessssss thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

Oh, and now she's telling me how I need to make Jeff do the following: paint the ceiling of the garage, clean out all the vents in the house, install a "cord management system," etc etc. She's going to "help me," come up with a "honey do list."

YAY. SO MUCH YAY.

Super Angry

eta: We just put in Mad Men. Riiiight as the episode started, she started playing some news program on her iphone. Loudly.

WHY. WHY do I do this to myself?

Dude. That's what I was wondering. Hang in there. And, never, EVER do this again!

Oh dear, how many more days do you have of this?

Washing blankies before bed in our house would be about the worst thing you could possibly do as a houseguest!

Beats me, yo.

You should go out for a drink when she leaves. Maybe two. I'll go with you!

Hang in there...

you are only on day 2?? i'm so sorry. she sounds JUST like my mom so i'm laughing and crying for you.

my mom suggested i cut up taylor's blanket and sew velcro on all her pants so she wouldn't need to actually carry her blanket around anymore, we could just velcro it on everyday. seriously. Smile Crying
