Whine Wednesday!

SeptemberBride'08 · October 2011

Since our usual girl is busy with her new baby....here is the most fabulous part of the week! Whine Wednesday!

So what's toasting your buns today?

Alright I'll jump in. I'm sick of people being judgmental. DH told me at the last second I had to drop L off this morning, and when I got in I had no gas because he RAN it all out lastnight. L cried and cried and cried when I went to drop him off this morning. He's getting a little cold and just wanted mommy.

I'm an emotional wreck and can't get myself out of this thing I'm in. I have to take my mom and friend to the place where the shower is today so we can do the menu since I'm a super picky eater. I'm happy to have say in the food but I really don't want to talk to anyone today. At all.

I just think that every one has a right to be proud of the specific parenting choices they made for their child and their family. They should be proud and not get jumped all over when they state it. Just because someone is proud of their own choices that may be different from yours doesn't automatically mean they are judging people who make different choices that best suits their own unique child and family. Yes, I am still really pissed off about it. I have every right to feel proud of my difficult choices, just as anyone else should feel proud of their own.

OK, maybe that is more of a rant than a whine, but it is still really burning my toast buns morning.

I'M NOT JUDGING YOUR CHOICES. Stop taking your frusterations on judgements on other people out with me. I DON'T have anything to say about your choices with your child. I'm f*Cking annoyed by the way you worded it.

I have been having headaches off and on for the last month. Yesterday I had a horrible one all day long, it was still there this morning at 5am. I slept in the spare bedroom to try to sleep it off and slept from 9:15-3:25 then was wide awake until 4:45, and up again at 5:45 and 6:30 for good. I hate that when I actually had the chance to sleep, I shorted myself at least 2.5 hours!

My dad and step mom are coming over at 5 for a couple hours so I can go to a chiro consult. I am annoyed my step mom has to tag along with my dad. I feel like I have to have my house neat and clutter free, and free of pet hair when she comes over. I keep a clean house, but she keeps a cleaner house and I feel like she judges me. Boo....babies are napping and R and I are cleaning.

I get the sense this was prompted by another post of which I know nothing about but I will say I know what you mean. I know people judge me/our family a lot for K taking a job that moved her away from the family for 15 months. It is not right for everyone but it is right for us and I'm fvck proud of us for making the choice we did.

My poor sister who has already been through hell and back had a virus attack her brain in 2005. She required some of her brain to be removed due to swelling and damage. She now lives in a group home, my sister who was an engineer and mother lives in a group home b/c she can't take care of herself anymore. We found out Monday night that it is active again and now she's lost her vision in her left eye. She could possibly lose vision in her right as well. When does it end for her? All I can say is God: ENOUGH!!

And it's our anniversary today and DH forgot. I guess he thought I got up early to make him coffee and breakfast just because. Didn't dawn on him at all. He was leaving for work and I said to him "wish us a happy anniversary". He feels bad and I know the mornings are crazy, it just bothers me. I'll get over it.

jewelsonu · October 2011

I just want dh to find a job. I don't want to face reality of his unemployment running out and then what? I want to end this cycle of him finding a job and then the compnay shutting down.

I wish that Ethan would go to bed at a normal early time so that dh and I could have some time together. Bedtime is an absolute nightmare.

Renee72305 · October 2011

I'm so tired of the bed time fights everynight. Tori is going to sleep until almost 9 leaving DH & I pretty much no "us" time. UGH! We've tried CIO and then she got sick, now we're letting her cry for a while but HE can't stand to listen to her so he'll go in & rock her to sleep.

Also, I'm glad he's been home every night for over a month but I can't wait for him to go back to working on the road! I know I'll be able to get her to put herself to sleep once he's gone!

C is turning into a little toddler complete with the whining and mini tantrums. We spend our entire evening going from giggles to tears and whining in the blink of an eye. Then I end up getting annoyed or angry with her, and it isn't her fault that she has no other ways to express herself, and then I feel like a bd mama and I just end up exhausted and spent by bed time. I went out shopping and DH put her to bed last night and I ended up in tears on the way home because I can't find her a party dress and I can't believe she is going to be 1 already and I am just being emotional and hormonal and cranky. Blah.

I have a few Whines today:

1. I really feel that its nearly impossible for working mothers to fees their babies breastmilk for an extended period of time... I am having some serious pumping issues, and I feel like Ill bnever produce enough, despite all the tricks/tips.

2. DH really needs to learn some patience and needs to find better ways of managing his frustrations with O ... Ive posted before how hes gotten angry with O when O wont stop crying, and calls him "a little jerk" or "a little a-hole" and how upset I get with that, but last night, while I was coaching, apparently O was crying for an hour straight, and when I came home, I found a hole in the wall, where DH kicked it because he was so frustrated. O was in his crib crying at the time (which Im glad about), and I know that DH felt really bad about the wall, because he apologized, and was generally very subdued, and almost embarrassed about it for the rest of the night... btu really - he only needs to watch O by himself for 2-3 hours a day, he never gets up at night with him, and I feel like he thinks O has an off switch. Sometimes babies cry. Sometimes they cry for seemingly no reason. Block it out. Or, its okay to put the baby down and let him cry chile you compose yourself. Kicking the wall does not equal composing one's self.

ArcticFox · October 2011

Sort of a repeat of a previous post of mine.. people giving me an attitude because I don't want to completely miss DD's nap (like missing her nap completely - not just putting it off). It doesn't work, and then I'm the one up all night and walking around like a zombie for several days. I don't get it.. what's the big deal? Like so what, it's a big deal that I want her to sleep at least a little bit within 2 hours of her regular nap? Doesn't give people the right to be mean to me.

Have you ever said it is ok to set him down for a minute and leave the room if he needs to? I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves as parents to not have our children cry because clearly if they are crying then something is the matter and we should be doing something, when actually that is not always the case. Kicking a hole in the wall is definitely taking it to an extreme, but Charlotte used to cry for a couple hours at night and no amount of rocking, shushing, bouncing, begging or pleading would get her to calm down or sleep. When I was by myself and there was no one to trade off with, I would set her in the crib and just go to the bathroom to take a minute to myself, splash some cold water on my face and start again. Not saying I didn't lose my cool in addition to this (see my whine about whining) but it just helps to have someone say, "hey it is ok to walk away for a minute and collect yourself."

He had left the room...DH put screaming O into his crib and then went downstairs to "cool off", except then he kicked a hole in the wall in the hallway... I told him I was glad that he put O down, but that kicking a hole isnt the answer...

I just want our house to sell. We were supposed to have a showing at 245 today so I had DD skip her nap. We cleaned like crazy last night, I got everything ready today and the realtor calls "they'll be half hour late".....5min later he calls again "they're cancelling the appt-maybe they'll come friday instead"....great. So I busted my butt, DD didnt nap, we get out of the house for what?! NOTHING!
