Oh thank god im not the only one who hears that shit
I guess there is no winning. Everyone tells me "oh she's so fat!" Shut up she is fine fine according to the doc, and I love all her chins!
Lol my tiny guy was born with a doublechin and has almost doubled his birth weight. I suppose it only really makes me ragey with my family because they are used to ten pound babies. Random people dont realize how little he is when i hold him
Everyone pretty much summed it up for me. I'll just add that I really just hate people and all their stupid opinions. If I WANTED to hear your two sense I would ASK. If I don't ask then SHUT THE HELL UP!!
I have one thats not baby related. I dont get snap chat. Everyone been bugging me to get this snap chat and i got it. And to be honest its a dumber version of picture text messaging.
MIL calling any of my kids "my baby." Pretty sure you JUST decided to kind of be a part of their lives, and only b/c you had nowhere else to go...another MIL, when one of my kids starts crying or fighting or something and she yells to me "they're crying!" No sh*t I'm 2 steps away cooking dinner, either do something about it or let her cry. Announcing it to me helps nothing.
Ok I could keep going but I'm getting all riled up and need to sleep ~X(
DD #1 4 years old (09/22/09)
DD #2 2 years old (08/17/11)
DD #3 born 08/29/13
The other day I was leaving my new mom group and DS was crying (like he always does at first in his carseat). A woman came over and said to him "did mommy pinch you??" And then repeated it several times. I got in the elevator to go to my car, she i guess takes the stairs and when she sees him again says "oh, mommy definitely pinched you". STFU lady, I have never pinched him he just hates his carseat until he gets moving.
Ever since my dad discovered that there are white noise apps, he's become obsessed. He turns it on every time DD is crying. We really only use it to help calm her down when she's fighting sleep. In any case, he insists on using the shushing sound, and it is annoying as hell. It goes, "shush shush shush". It's awful. Not only that, yesterday were eating dinner together and DD was ALREADY asleep and he turned the damn thing on next to her. Of course she started to wake up because she was already peacefully sleeping and he put this loud ass noise right by her ear.
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.. It irritates the living shit out if me. She will be content in her swing and if she moves a little bit FIL goes to out her dummy in her mouth.. She'll spit it out and he'll sit there and try and hold it in as she gets fussier and fussier. She eventually starts crying and then tells her she's getting too much attention from mommy. Hold on a second, you just made her cry by shoving an unwanted dummy in her freakin mouth!! Lets try that on him and see how he feels... Ass.
Oh you'll have to watch DD (19 months) because she'll ....
No she's not going to feed him chocolate, step on him, pour milk on his head or anything else like that because I know better than to leave a toddler unattended around a baby.
And no we apparently didn't "learn better" with DD because we're still not going to give solids until 6 months, he will be BF until a minimum of 1 year, he will be held and cuddled all we want, and I still will not let you watch him alone if you even joke about going against what I want for him.
I also HATE when people ask if he's a good baby as if babies are bad when they cry. They aren't being mean they're communicating that they need something. Great grandma is the worst offender here so I bite my tongue but it drives me batty!
DH's sister passed away 11 years ago, so we gave DD her middle name. MIL constantly compares DD to her and is constantly calling DD by her first and middle name (like its her first name) and it drives me INSANE. DD is her own person, NOT my SIL....knock it off, MIL.
Passed a lady in the parking lot yesterday and she asks how old. (Ok...6 weeks) Then she asks...was she on time? FUCK.....what is it with people Obsessing about babies and their due date. And it was 6 weeks ago! I thought I was passed those questions at least until my next pregnancy.
On the subject of 'Good Baby'... Someone asked me the other day if LO is a good baby and I responded with... I guess we will keep her. She looked at me like I was from a different planet. lol... Ask a dumb question get a dumb response.
Got a new one, at a meeting with my boss last week, he asked "Did you have a C/S?"
I didn't, but also didn't know how to discuss the topic of the state of my vagina during birth with my male boss.
What should I say? "Nope, she was birthed through the vag and I tore like a MFer. It's a big mess down there."
I wanted to say "No, but there were other complications." I think I was so bewildered, I didn't know what to say and avoided the topic. I think he still thinks I had a C/S.
I'm sorry but I can't stand other children touching my baby. When MIL lets her great niece (whose 4) come over and say "hi" to the baby, I'm like a bulldog. "She washed her hands." I don't give a shit if she washed her hands! The same goes for when I'm breast feeding. I get it kids are curious and want to know how the baby's getting fed but really? No you can't watch me feed her, where's your MOM? Smdh
*this is also when I know the little girl's been picking her nose and putting her fingers in her mouth when people aren't watching (which is why I get upset)
Had our precious baby girl, Little Miss E, on August 14, 2013♥143 → I.love.you.♥
Both of our patents saying things like "too bad we'll miss her growing up" "I wish I could see her more/get to know her" or "you should come visit more" Get your asses in the car and drive the 8-10 hours to our house then! You're not working and don't have a baby to take on the car trip...why are we always expected to come to you!?
This is what my inlaw's say and it drives me insane. They are however only 45 mins away and have not come out even once, and LO is 10 weeks tomorrow.. And then MIL complains that inlaw's (my parents) get preferential treatment.. Uh no, they just make an effort and you don't.
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!
My mom did this when she was here or she would give LO her finger. He doesn't like pacifiers and I don't even give my LO my finger (unless I saw you wash your hands I really don't want them near my sons mouth). I would let her hold him before I fed him and he screamed the whole time and she tried to get him to stop. (She wanted to hold him but he would eat, fall asleep and I would put him down.) not much time for grandma time.
Any time I ask my mom for advice, it's "oh I don't know honey, you're the expert, you've read all the books" in a somewhat passive aggressive way. Yes I did research and yes we do things differently than 30ish years ago. Doesn't mean I still wouldn't like your input when asked, given that you successfully raised two kids and I trust you more than half the stuff I've read. C'mon, mom. Yeesh.
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
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.
MIL says oooohhhhh I love when they are fresh so when he's old you will leave us the hell alone.
I get this too. Lo is 8 weeks old and weighs 7.5 lbs. the same thing happened with dd1. I try to ignore people and not let it bother me that they think my child is too tiny.
First day back at work and I SWEAR every person I see looks at me and immediately looks down at my stomach... I'm not sure if they're confirming I had the baby.. or seeing how much weight I've lost. And I really don't think I'm making this up...
LO starts crying and my mom wonders why. I say it's probably because she's hungry and my mom stands there holding her talking about "poor lil girl, mommy never feeds you. You must be starving." all while I'm standing there with my arms out waiting to take her so she can eat. Hand her over already so she can stop crying!

Random strangers: "are you breastfeeding?"
Did I miss the memo on why people think it is ok to be so name nosy?! I don't even know you!
No she's not going to feed him chocolate, step on him, pour milk on his head or anything else like that because I know better than to leave a toddler unattended around a baby.
