Re: Open Letter Monday.
Dear Kyler,
I really hope you are not getting sick with whats going around. I don't like this dry hacking cough you started over the weekend. Also, please stop randomly screaming out in bloody murder for 10 seconds, then go back to laughing and giggling... I'd prefer just the laughing and giggling.
Love,
Mom
Dear Mother,
Please treat me like the child of yours that I am... Kind of like how you treat my sister... even half of that would be great... Haven't seen you since Thanksgiving, and you didn't once hold your grandson, let alone really talk to him much. Didn't see you, OR talk to you over Christmas. Just saw you Saturday night at my sisters birthday at the bar, even though I am certain you won't make it to my birthday in March.
It's pretty sad that you have seen your granddaughters that live across the country more than you have seen your grandson that only lives 10 miles down the road. (Not saying that you shouldn't go out there by any means, but c'mon...)
Sincerely,
This daughter really would like a mother figure in her life.
Dear Self;
You want this new job and you want to do the right thing by finishing out your schedule at work. This means that you need to put on your BGPs and get ready for one heck of a busy week. Kiss your child, splash some water on your face, grab your coffee and lets go!
Signed;
A mommy who thought she was tired before, but really had no idea.
I need to take some time for me every day so I can be a better momma and wife. I need to learn to ask for help with house work and I need you all to pitch in! Oh yeah and babies if you could let me sleep for more than two hours in a row it would help bunches!!
Thanks
Over worked under appreciated sahm
LOL our cat's dish had to be re-located pretty much as soon as she learned to crawl.
I really really hate you. I keep applying for new ones, but never hear anything. I honestly don't think I can handle you much longer. Plus, this having to pump more than usual because my supply is tanking is making it worse. I'm not saying I have to love my job but it would be nice not to dread Mondays so much they ruin my Sundays.
Dear MIL,
I'm so happy you appreciate just how hard I'm working to supply your granddaughter with breastmilk. I'm so happy you understand how hard it is to have to drag a pump everywhere you go. I'm so happy that I don't put up with your BS anymore. You think the reason LO didn't get sick when both DH and I both were sick, was because, 'it must have been a virus babies don't get. how lucky she is.' Um, we had sinus infections. Pretty sure babies get those. Forget that she was getting antibodies through my milk, you don't believe in that. She just got LUCKY. Oh, and I know rice cereal is God's gift to this Earth in your view, but it will NEVER go in MY baby's bottle. And no, no, no to the next ignorant thing you suggest. The truth is, I actually like you! But, you are straining our relationship with your negative comments.
Signed,
Your DIL who really thinks you need to get a clue
Dear Student Loans,
Thank you for losing my personal information. Even though I already paid you back in full. (and worked my a$$ off for years to do so) It was really great of you to put such information on an external harddrive, (12 years later!), so that it would be stolen. I am very much looking forward to spending the rest of my life checking my credit scores to make sure that nobody has stolen my identity.
Sincerely,
one of the 583,000 former students you F'd over.
Dear Master's Courses,
Please finish yourselves. I want to play with my daughter.
Sincerely,
Wanting to be done now.
Dear Bump,
Stop tempting me to spend time here so that I can work on my courses.
Sincerely,

I know it's hard and you think I am being a crazy over protective, Germaphobe mom and treating dd like a bubble baby BUT a simple cold has the the potential to put her back in the hospital. Yes I know she is knocks on wood healthy and you tend to forget that she was 9 weeks early because of how wonderful she is doing. But I have explained to you till I am blue in the face that it takes two years for her immune system to fully catch up, she missed almost the whole 3rd trimester which is when babies build that through their mom, yes she is breastfed, well I exclusively pump and give it to her in bottle because she never took to the actual breast, which helps but is not a cure. For once think about how it effects us, we leave dd at home to attend family events, we drove 24 hours to be with you on a family vacation to fla because pedi didn't want her on a plane in dec. I am a sahm and we were in play groups, library time, swim classes and so on and now I can't even take her to the grocery store! DD is at the age where she loves being around other babies and now we are in our house allllll the time. Just put on the news its a horrible season this year! It's very isolating and scary because if she gets sick she can end up in the hospital, on a vent to help her breath, I know of a few fellow NICU babies that unfortunately have been there this cold and flu season. I don't make this up, I fought for 55 days to bring her home from the NICU and will be damned if she goes back because we went to a family party or playdate and got sick. So save your snarky comments and eye rolls please because you have no idea how bad it hurts...
Love,
A scared FTM and preemie mommy who would love more than anything to be with you all at these events with DD
WOW that felt gooooood!!!
We really could have used your help watching the kids last Saturday because we both had to work. You declined because you had plans to go watch DH's high school aged cousin play basketball. This is not something you had to do, but rather something you chose to do over helping us. I exhausted every option I had before finally giving away my shift because I could not find a babysitter. Then you had the audacity to text me Friday morning to see if we found someone or if we still needed your help. WTF?? Way to try and make yourself look helpful when you know full well I am a planner and would have made other arrangements by then. In addition, I'm not buying in to your passive aggressive BS about asking me first before you make future plans. You are an adult and set your own priorities, but don't be surprised when I'm short with you. I simply said I will no longer be working Saturdays, so it won't be an issue in the future.
As if the above didn't disappoint me enough, I then find out you didn't even go to the game. Grrrr!
Sincerely,
Disgruntled DIL, who wishes she lived closer to her own mother
