Deep thoughts... I never had until I was a mom

You know when you have the urge to correct family members about incorrect theories they have about your LO but, you bite your tongue ... not because you don't necessarily like what they're saying but... it's just not worth correcting because you know you'll end up making them feel bad... and those "theories" that they have is their relationship with your LO (who can't talk yet) and you don't want to crush their feelings and sound like a meanie mom. And then you share these thoughts with your DH and he has no clue what you're talking about? Awesome.

    I know exactly what you're talking about. And those stupid theories lead me to theories of my own which make me so angry with my MIL!

    When MIL comes over, she holds Olivia and just wants to sit there and smile at her. Great. She's not a newborn, she gets bored looking at your crazy mug for more than a few minutes. So when she starts fussing/crying it's NOT collic. She insists every time she comes over, "Oh poor baby has collic" and proceeds to do nothing but ignore the crying baby.

    My baby almost never cries. And she's almost 6 months old. It's NOT FREAKING COLLIC.

    So now I'm imagining my MIL ignoring my husband's cries as a baby for hours on end saying he has collic when really it's just that she doesn't have the "Mom" gene and I'm SO FREAKING ANGRY that she did that to my husband.

    And now my husband doesn't "get" why I don't want MIL to babysit. Confused

     

    Oh, I'm sorry. I got off on a tangent there.

    Yes, I feel your pain. People can be ridiculous sometimes.
