Dear lady at Walmart,
Yes, I'm aware my baby is unhappy. She usually starts crying halfway through most of my shopping trips. She is not crying because the back of the seat in the cart is hurting her back, she's just tired. Thanks for making me feel like crap because I forgot the cart cover at home. No I will not get her out of the cart and hold her, while I'm trying to push the cart, my cart is too heavy to push with one hand. If her crying bothers you then continue your shopping and stop following me.
Dear cashier,
Again, yes I know my baby is not happ. How about you stop talking to her and ring up my groceries a little quicker. She is tired, she is NOT crying because I hold her too much. For the 5 1/2 months that I worked I was only home with her for an average of 1 hour a day. And I know my babysitter did not give in when she just wanted to be held. She is not spoiled, she's just clingy, and I'm tired if people accusing me of holding my baby too much.
Dear old man in the scooter at Walmart,
Come on dude, the baby wearing PINK is a girl. No she doesn't have hair, not all girls are born with hair. Even if she was a boy its not like I'd shave his head or something! Quit following me in your scooter talking about what I'm going to do when she starts dating.
Sincerely,
Mom with a headache and a cranky baby.
I think I'm done taking her to the grocery for a while.

Dear Dad -
You and mom were supposed to spend all day with the girls and K (my nephew) last Friday. Even though K lives with you and you see him every day and see the girls a couple of times a month you decided to stay home with K and come over to our place at 5:30pm, right in the middle of when we start doing solids, baths, bottles, and calming down for bed. I offered to bring them to your house so that you and mom could stay there with the 3 of them and you said no, that you wanted to spend the day with K. That sucks and it really hurt my feelings. I get that he is your grandson too buy you live with him! Why wouldn't you take the opportunity to spend some time with your granddaughters, who you rarely get to see? The next time you make a comment with a hurt look about how they don't know don't be surprised when you get a really smart-ass response back. We don't live with you, but you have an often reminded open invitation to come over any night or weekend to see them and choose not to do so. It makes me sad because I see what a spectacular grandfather you are to K and I wish the girls got some of that too.
Your disappointed daughter
Dear DD,
For the love of all that is holy, can you PLEASE start sleeping for longer than 45 minutes at a time? Also, getting out of this separation anxiety phase might be a good idea too. I love the extra cuddles, but I'd like to be able to get things done while you are awake without having you within 6 inches of me. Especially since you are awake so. freaking. much.
Your mama
Dear parent of my student,
Please don't send your child to school with ringworm and tell him to lie. We know what it looks like; we are not stupid, and we do NOT want to get it or take it home to our children. Also, please stop teaching your child to lie.
sincerely,
Your child's VERY ANNOYED teachers
Dear PJ,
Mommy misses you a lot today, so please be up for some snuggles when I get home.
Love,
The one who loves you the most (don't tell Daddy I said that!)
Dear DH,
Thank you for everything you do. I wouldn't make it through a day without you. I love you more than life itself...so please, continue with your awesomeness, and make dinner tonight
Love you!
Your biggest fan
Dear hubs and Aria,
Please quit talking to each other in your sleep. You're not even in the same room, and there's nothing urgently important to talk about at 3am. I thought you, Aria, were waking up to eat. Instead, I heard a sweet little "dadadadaaaa" followed by a deeper, but just as sweet, "daddy loves you princess. You're the sweetest girl."
You guys are adorable. I'm so glad you love each other so much, but could you talk about it during daytime hours only?
Love, Your very sleepy wife and Mommy
Dear life,
You know that "do not disturb" feature that rolled out with iOS 6? Could you look into getting one of those?

Dear DH,
Oh my god can you please pick up your shoes?! It's like you walk through the house, randomly realize you are still wearing shoes, and kick them off right there. This morning I counted six, yes SIX, pairs of shoes in various places throughout the first floor of our house. I refuse to keep putting them up in your closet or by the door, you are old enough to do this yourself.
Sincerely,
Your wife who will throw them all in the garage if I trip over a pair one more time
Dear society,
Please stop pushing "breast is best" if you're just going to make BFing mothers feel like they've got to hide a dirty secret every time they need to nurse or pump. If my milk in the fridge is grossing you out but you're a-okay with the cow's milk in there, you're sending me the message that I am less desireable than a huge, dirty farm animal, and that my daughter must be even worse, because she has to drink that "bodily fluid" that you don't even want NEXT to your leftovers in the fridge, in a sealed bottle.
I'm sick of feeling ashamed for feeding my daughter, so suck it up. Get used to seeing my breasts and my little bottles of milk, because I'm fed up with your hypocrisy.
Moo,

I understand this is your first pregnancy but theres no reason for you to be walking like a duck, using the electric carts at wal mart, and moaning with every step you take. You're only 21 weeks, you have almost that same amount more to go, you're not sick, you're not carrying multiples, so what's the deal? Not everybody wants to read of every moment in the day where it hurts you down there when you walk or how even when you were only 10 weeks you already couldn't get out of bed because the baby was laying right on your stomach, or how you are eating your snack at mc donalds because the baby was hungry and making you sick. I get every pregnancy is different but being pregnant doesn't make you handicap. Women have been having babies for years you're not the first and you won't be the last, get over it already o_O
Sincerely,
The person who just hid you from their fb feed
Dear son,
Thank you for being such a great baby, you have never been a cry baby, we have gone to 6 movies and you have slept through them all and even if you did wake up you were quiet and watched the screen, you are teething like crazy but not complaining, you sleep like a champ and you are ok with other people and even strangers carrying you, thank you, thank you for being amazing and just a sweet loving boy, we are so in love!!
Love always and forever,
your very grateful Mother:
Dear idiot who I flicked off awhile ago,
So you wanted to act like a jerk and hold your horn down because I didn't go when the light turned green, guess what I didn't go because there was an elderly lady getting ready to cross the road and she didn't go because of your stupidity, oh you didn't see that right?! Not only could I have gone but I decided to wait and let the light turn red and then wait for it to turn green just to piss you off even more: lol hope you enjoyed the wait like I did knowing just how angry it was making you:
Sincerely,
One pleased driver who ruined your day!
Dear DCP,
I love how you well you treat my daughter and the fact that she seems to love you. I love that there are only three kids in your care. I HATE the fact that you have decided to close unexpectedly or with short notice numerous times in the 3 1/2 months that we have been using you.
I'm sorry, but I am going to have to find other care for my daughter. I have a JOB and I can't just call out all the time because you have to close. When will I be able to call out for DD's sickness or mine.
Signed,
Angry Mama
Dear Ian,
Mommy loves you more than anything else in this world. I'm trying to do what's best for the both of us and make life easier on us both. I love how you've been such an awesome little boy and couldn't have asked for anything better. I've truly been blessed by how good you really are. I know you've not felt well for the last week, and there's been a lot of adjusting going on. Your Memaw and I decided last night that it was probably a good idea to take you to the doctor today, just to have you looked at...you've been running a low grade fever, very snotty, tugging at your ears, and just all around not yourself. Well, this morning you woke up seeming to be back to normal, but Memaw said she'd take you on anyway, just to be sure. I'm sooooo glad that they didn't find anything wrong with you and that you're back to yourself today. You're a little stinker though! Oh, well, the copay was worth the piece of mind and I still love ya!
Dear Ally (my four legged child),
When things got rough for me, when I was single and going through a divorce, you kept me sain! I love you and you'll always be my first child. However, Memaw can't stand you being on the couch. She really can't stand you being in the house, but would be ok with it, if you would stay off the couch. We've only been there a week, and you're making her nuts...so much so that she's said something to me every single day about it. So, I've decided that it's probably best if you go to Foster Care for a while. Don't worry, I'm going to make sure that your supply of food and treats stays stocked! You're going to be ok, and you adjust to things well. You'll be able to sleep with your "daddy" and he'll let you on the couch. He doesn't do much but sit around and that's what you like the most...to be able to just sit and be lazy with someone. I'm going to miss you...and yes, I'm soft hearted and crying as I type this. But, I think it's probably best for everyone right now. I'll come visit! And when I get back to a place where you can come too, well, I promise I'll come get you...unless you're just too in love with your new home. I'm going to miss you!
I see that you are going to continue to give fertility problems. If your going to laddle me with this again could you at least let my body lose some fat with all my healthy eating and working out?
Thanks,
The not cured by pregnancy IFer
No you cannot sneak over and plug your extension cord into my house to power your renovations. Stop being a cheap asss and turn on your electric or buy a generator!

Dear Body -
Get your shi* together. The negative pregnancy tests are depressing and I'm ready for AF already. I'd also like my 28-30 day cycles back. This 37 day (and counting!) thing is really pissing me off. Thanks..
- Ready for 2u2 already!
