Put it in the annoying jar..

in August 2013 Moms
So I love my mom, but I can't STAND the noise she makes when she is talking to LO.. She sounds likes she's calling a horse.. It's like this sucking teeth noise..

... And if MIL tells me LO is going to get bit by a mosquito one more time, I might literally bite her head off.

So I'm starting a jar (thread) to put whatever annoying nuances in it.. Fill it up!!

    When my mom is astonished by the way I wrap DD in her miracle blanket to sleep. She calls it a straight jacket but I call it my sleep weapon.

    My grandma ALWAYS asks "do you have a blanket to put over her in the car?" When she sees her. It doesn't matter if it is 80* out she will still ask. And yes I always have a blanket but she doesn't always need it!

    MIL (bless her heart) takes the same picture of DD 20 times and apparently doesn't know how to zoom so she just sticks it in her face.

    Ok enough bitching lol

    Omg the camera! My Grandma took at least ten pictures of herself while trying to take a picture of DD and my Mom with my Mom's iPhone. Instead of hitting the camera button, she kept hitting the flip display button.

    My MIL to DD on several occasions: " Don't worry about ever being told no. You call your Mimi when Mommy & Daddy say no." Really bitch?!?

    My mom talks to herself through the baby more than she talks to the baby. Everyone else says "Hi Anslee" or talks to DD as her own person, but my mom ALWAYS says "Hi Grammy" and crap like "Grammy's here", " Are you happy to see Grammy? I know you are.", "Oh I like you holding me Grammy". It annoyed the crap out of me when she did it with my nephews and it's infinitely more annoying now that it's my own kid. Talk TO her! Go sit in the damn bathroom and talk to your reflection if you're that self-centered. Geez.

    "She needs some warm clothes. "

    No. She really doesn't. We live in Florida and it never gets colder than 80 degrees.

    I told my mom shit spit up more yesterday than normal. She is an RN. she told me I might need to take her to the ER. HAHA. No, mom. She's fine. Still pooping and peeing like nobody's business.
    My dad calls me back and tells me taking her there she would probably catch something.
    I just laughed.

    MIL calls DS "Grandmas baby". She's actually really great and means no harm but I can't stand it.

    Oh yes! This for me too! MIL and my dad are the worst!! They both refer to DD as their girl or their baby. No, she's not yours but thanks anyway.

    I love my mom, we have a great relationship, but if she says one more time that I should give DD formula I might hurt her. My mom did not BF and she knows nothing about it.

    Last night I mentioned how DD was probably starting her 6 week growth spurt, which is why she kept wanting to eat and my moms response is " maybe it is time to give her a little formula so she stays full" OMG

    No mom, she needs to nurse more! Ahhh! I did attempt to explain how BM adjusts calories and babies actually don't take in additional oz etc and she just gives me a blank stare.

    I swear to god when BF did not work out for us with DS, my mom was thrilled cause she got to be "right". Like I said this is the one thing my mom and I just apparently can not see eye to eye on and it is driving me CRAZY!!!

    "Have you given him water yet? You should probably give him a couple ounces of water everyday!"

    "Don't worry bud, we'll sneak you some mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving ... we don't have to tell your mom"


    Ditto to the water comment? Wtf? Why the hell does he need water? And why am I going to fill up his belly with no calories/nutrition instead of actually feeding him? I had to nicely let mil know that giving him water at this age can give him water intoxication and malnutrition so she doesn't try to give him some while I'm at work.

    My sil has special needs and I'm able to tolerate a lot of the wacky stuff she says to dd. But she's taken to clicking her tongue at dd like she's a horse. Drives me batty.

    My mother emailed me this morning to tell me all the things I'm doing wrong with the baby- it was basically- "I'm thinking about why she cries"- then she analyzed my diet, told me I'm starving myself and should stop worrying about my weight and because of such my breastmilk does not have proper nutrients, told me I'm not doing a good job taking care of the baby and giving her what she needs- and then told me I have PPD and need to go to the doctor. 
    None of these things are true- and my LO is off the charts for height and her weight is great- she is growing like a weed.  I should mention my mom is a nurse and we do not get along, but I've been putting up with one visit a month because my mother is really excited to be a grandmother.  I've been nice and tolerated the visits but the email is about to make me explode. I've typed 2 different responses I haven't sent yet but I'm about to tell her she's not invited back.  Babies cry- seriously, no joke.  They do, I swear.  She only cries when she's hungry or really tired.  Its normal.  It made me cry.

    Anytime LO cries or spits up DH is like, ' poor guy are you sick?'... No he's fine..

    MIL talks to LO like he's a dog.. 'Are you a good boy?' Or, 'are you a happy boy?' It wouldn't bother me, but that's exactly how she talks to her dog!!

    Lo tries to spit the paci out (he's not crying or fussing, he just doesn't want it) and MIL sticks it back in. Lo starts crying because he doesn't want it and MIL holds it in with her thumb and asks why he's so fussy all if a sudden. Bitch! He don't want it!

    This drives me absolutely nuts! Other people (grandparents) use it as a fix all when he might be hungry or need a diaper change instead. I actually have been telling them we don't use pacifiers and hide them in the diaper bag. However, DH and I use them at home because LO does like them :)

    ETA: thought of one... My MIL clicks her tongue at LO like he's a cat when he is fussy. For some reason, it drives me crazy! He isn't a cat!!

    Every time LO starts to fall asleep and mil, in Her super annoying high pitched voice goes "oh are you falling asleep, are your eyes closed?" Over and over until he wakes up.
    This was the same day I put him in my moby to keep him away from sick people at a party (including her) so she just proceeded to get all up in his face and about 6 inches from me for the next 3 hours. She was so close she was spitting on me when she talked.

    My 7 year old nephew whom i normallylove and adore has been driving me crazy all day. Ds wants to sleep thats all he wants. And dn has been getting in his face and touching him and waking up ds. Then when my sisters mom or i will reprimand him he will start whinning and throwing a fit.

    Nephew i love you but your cousin is tired and sleepy stop fucking touching him and waking him up.

    Also my sisters mil has started calling herself ds nana. Bitch you are not my sons nana i cant stand you anyways. Also do not tell me im spoiling my neborn by holding him. I love my son and i want to hold him and snuggle him.

    You guys have covered most of them! I hate when he's crying .. Then they look at me and ask. If I freaking knew why he's crying, he wouldn't be crying!

    DH does this and it drives me freaking insane!! Oh yes I know how to make happy but love listening to her cry.

    I've got nothing. We don't have any family around here.

    I guess I could share something that really annoyed me back when I was pregnant. I have a "friend" that has 3 boys. She has said that she will not stop having kids until she has a girl. When I announced that we were having a girl she said, "Good luck with that. Better keep the receipts." Shut up you jealous B!

    My cat loves to meow at the top of her lungs when I finally get my LO down and I don't help much when I chase her around trying to get her to shut the hell up.

    YES. The camera. I will never understand why it's so difficult to properly use a camera. Or why you can't figure out how to use or zoom with the camera on the iPhone you just had to have (cough - MIL - cough)...

    MIL's baby voice is nails on chalkboard for me, "hi dweedhart!" Ugh I cringe

    Also why does everyone always want to look under the blanket over the car seat to look at her. I said she's sleeping why do you need to verify and wake her up? They do this especially at restaurants when I need her to sleep if I wanna eat. My nephews are most guilty of tgis

    My dad says he doesn't know what to say to her, so all he ever says is her name....over, and over and over.  Generally when shes sleeping.  I keep telling him to just talk to her like he would talk to me, but he apparently would rather just annoyingly say her name.

    I get this too. Plus, "Oh! She's a fresh one!" No, she is actually almost 8 week old, not so fresh anymore. She is small yes, no I am not worried about her, she is in perfect health.

    When I'm in the nursery in the mornings feeding LO and my husband saunters out of bed and asks me "how was the night" Meaning how many times did he wake you up. If you want to know you should get up and help! Quit. Fricken. Asking!

    My h does this ALL. THE. TIME.

    I am actually just getting tired of everyone looking at me or her and just going awwww....look at the baby....Stop staring at me....and for F's sake....Stop asking me how much she weighed at birth...

    Yesterday at Walmart, I was checking out, LO was melting down. I was at the express. Across from me someone goes....Awww, such a cute baby....then looked at her companion and said, Thank god I dont have a baby....REALLY!!

    Same here. So sick of it! Especially with EBF. People are always trying to get me to FF because dd is "too skinny", despite the fact she has gained 5 lbs since birth.
