MIL vent

in Austin Babies
Let me prefice this by saying my MIL is great and a huge help, but today about sent me off the deep end. Here was my day with her. At 7:45am I went upstairs to get the baby up, and she said, "you aren't going to wake her up are you". Um yes I am, if I don't her schedule will be all jacked up. Then came nap time #1. I put the baby down. Came downstairs and she asked me to go get Allison a library card so they could go to the library. ( she tried to get one for Alli yesterday but since she lives in CA she couldn't get it). I go down to the library and the lady tells me I have to have Alli with me, I said it would have been nice if she had told my MIL that. The librarian told me she did tell her. Ggggrrr. I go back home and the baby is up. Now it has been 20 minutes since I put her down. She said the baby was fussing so she got her up. OMG, her first nap is usually her long nap. She fussed for a few minutes, sleeps , fussed a bit and falls back to sleep. So her getting her up totally f#cked things up. Fast forward to this evening. The two big girls have soccer from 5:15 to 6:15. She stayed home with the baby. (she knows the baby goes to sleep at 7pm). I get home at 6:30 and the baby is ASLEEP in her swing. AYFKM? She said well she fell asleep and I didn't want to wake her. So now it is 9pm and the baby is still awake and pissed off and overtired. I just had to vent and get this out. This is going to be a freaking LONG two weeks.

    um... this is kind of why i'm not ready for my MIL to watch DS. super nice woman with good intentions, but a lot of outdated thinking like "crying is good for his lungs" and "i'm ready for him to eat real food."

    hugs to you and PMBridetobe.

    I'm not even thinking about being KU and this stresses me out.

    Hopefully things will settle over the next few days.

    i'm sorry! that sucks.  i had the same problems, but with my mom :( 

    i ended up printing the baby's schedule up and posting it on the fridge.  it didn't solve all problems, but it helped some.

    **hugs**

    Two weeks??  OMG, I would DIE.  Godspeed, ladies!

    el_twirpo - My MIL says that about crying, too.  It irritates the sh!t out of me.

    Oh, good grief!

    I don't understand why it is so hard for people over 50 to follow simple instructions.  No matter how well intentioned, it's like they are genetically rigged to all buck the system.

    I love my MIL, and today I love her most for never, ever wanting to spend more than 3 days at a time with us.

    So true! Sorry you're having a hard time! Might be time for a frank talk about the baby's schedule. 

    Also, LLCG, you are SOOO lucky. I wish mine had a clue about length of visit!!
