Re: Open letter Thursday?

  • Dear H,

    Yes, you are going to  attempt to continue Ferber with DS tonight while I'm at a retirement party. It is working great for us and just because I'm not going to be home doesn't mean you can take the easy way out. Yes the crying is awful but you can do it. Or else.

    Love,

    Me

  • Dear L,

    I also think its hilarious that you learned to stick your tongue out. Your little giggles after doing so are priceless. Thank you for making mommy smile every day. I love you so much.

    Love,

    Mommy

  • Dear Body,

    Get your act together already. I'm so flipping over TTCAL again. And please, next time can it be a viable pregnancy? I'm so ready to be done TTC for good.

    Thanks,

  • Dear H,

    I know it really sucks that you were laid off for a couple of weeks, and that future work with your company seems spotty. But I absolutely adore the bond you and DS have grown over the last few weeks while you were home with him. I love watching you two together, and how you now know what his cries mean, and how you interact. No one else can make him smile and laugh the way you do! I am also glad you got called back to work, though, because things were getting kind of sketchy money wise. You are an amazing father, husband, and provider for our family.

    I love you!

    Jess

  • Dear H,

    I seriously think you need to take a pill that strengthens your memory. I've asked you four times to take that bag into work and give it to your Mom and here it still sits by the garage door.... I love you, you are a great father and a great husband but I swear you'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to you.

    Love, Wife 

    Dear DS,

    Please feel better soon. I hate seeing you not your normal self, this darn ear infection and cold/congestion has made you very clingy and oh so sleepy. Although I must say you still maintain most of your humor and your smiles...but I just want you to feel better like NOW!

    Love, Momma 

    Henry Cavill...You're welcome!

  • Dear MIL,

    STFU!!!! You had a kid and raised him 30 years ago. I really don't care how you did it back then.

     thanks!

  • Dear MIL, 

    You are the only person alive that describes DD as laid back and the only one that thinks I am over reacting by being frustrated with things.  It is not normal for her to be this much under weight...thus weekly feeding therapy, we seriously needed to have her hip dysplasia taken care of and it is not normal for her to hate her crib, bottles, pacifiers, naps, and anything that involves not being held.   Also, a baby that wakes up several times per night and refuses to sleep in her own room at almost 5 months does not equal a good sleeper.  I realize things could be way worse but quit telling me how easy I have it.  

    Sincerely,

    Your fed up daughter-in-law.

    Dear DH,

    Please don't take it personally when you can't make DD stop crying right away. The only reason I can do it is because I have boobs. A few years from now she'll prefer you when we inevitably have a good cop bad cop parenting situation. It's obvious you're going to spoil her. Let me enjoy this brief time when she prefers mommy.

    Love,

    CT

    Dear L,

    You are so ridiculously cute these days! Do you think that we can start phasing out some of your bad nights and add a few more of your good nights in a given week? You're getting bigger now, and I know you can kick this colic in the behind! Love you so much, even when I only get one hour of sleep during the night.

    Love,

    Mommy

    I could have written that myself!  My DH doesn't believe me when I tell him how awesome their relationship will be soon.



    Me too! My H gets frustrated and I tell him my only advantage right now is boobs. Before we know it our son will prefer to hang out with his dad.

    Dear J,

    I understand that making you sleep in your crib for the first time last night may have come as a shock. However, not napping all day and then getting up every two hours is not amusing. Let's get back to the down at 9 and up at 1 and 5 schedule again shall we?

    Love,
    Your exhausted mother

    P.S. Save at least one poopy diaper for Daddy when he comes home from work. He was crankypants this morning.


    Your PS made me laugh out loud! I say the same thing
