I can't complain about my MIL, however she does earn a WTF look from he every now and then...
Like when I came home to find my baby all bundled up, wearing a hat, pants, onesie and socks (we live in Florida!!). When I asked her why she said it's beause he had hiccups. Uhhh... wtf???

WTF DH and myself... why can't we get things figured out? We talk about making things better but a week later things fall back to the normal "routine". Ughhh... I know things will never be exactly the same since LO is here but this adjustment period really really sucks.
Yes it does! I go home with every intention of being happy and just enjoying our time together and then things fall apart. I am tired of talking about stuff and it never actually happening.
WTF Work?? Before I go on ML, you tell me I can return to a flex time schedule.
Suddenly you "NEED" me to start working Saturdays again? Bitch, do you know how hard it is to find regular infant child care on Saturday?Also, why didn't you tell me this before, so I could have let my sitter know she would be required to work Saturdays? Now I might have to get a new one.
Grandparents are trying to set up college accounts for Panda and I can't find her social security card. I know I put it in a safe place. I kept meaning to put it with the others, but something always got in the way. Now I can't remember where that "safe place" is. Ugh!
WTF "friend"?! It's NOT a mom-etition. No one "wins" at the end of parenting. We are all doing our best, and no, not all of our decisions will be the same. WORRY ABOUT YO-SELF!
WTF keeblers? It was very rude that you jumped in my cart, hitched a ride to my house and then held me down and forced almost the whole box down my throat. My ass and thighs do not thank you.
wtf MIL. There is nothing wrong with my son nursing his baby doll. I'm happy and proud that he's learning about breastfeeding. Maybe he won't grow up and be uncomfortable with his wife NIP.
I think it's awesome he's nursing his baby doll! Would your MIL rather he beat the baby doll?!

Oh another one WTH me, why didn't I listen when they said to take it easy after the c/s. Now I have to wait 2 weeks to see a general surgeon to see if I gave myself a hernia.
WTF, boss? I've come to staff meetings every morning for a week saying I'm light on work, but today you decide to send me an e-mail bitching about my low billable? I'm a creative, not an accounts pro. I can't just make up things to do and bill it to "business development" like they can in client services.
Joke's on you, though. I've been approached with two job offers in the past week. You won't have to be concerned about my billability after I put in my notice tomorrow.
I haven't had any encounters with MIL lately.. She's still BSC but I'm thankful they live 2-3 hours away. FIL on the other hand drives me insane. So here's my WTF FIL. He's here during the week and I could write a list of stuff that's still irritating the hell out of me.
The other day LO was fussy and he started lookin through the cupboards for something. I asked what he was doing and he said he was looking for honey to put on her soother. Um, excuse me? NO. Clearly she's fussy for a reason. Have you checked her diaper? Is she hungry? Of course you didn't explore the options. My baby isn't getting honey. Dumbass. Oh, and te other day we had leftovers.. He looked at me and said "well at least you won't have a lot of dishes to clean up".. WHAT?! Why do you think I have to clean up after you?! Every morning he leaves a spoon on the counter from making a thermos of coffee and a cup of tea (which he has no problem using the last of and not replacing) and he will be the only one not to put his dishes away from the night before. I'm not your fucking maid. Aaaaand vent over.
You just need to go ahead and not let him return. Seriously.
If it were my decision, he wouldn't have been able to stay here from the start. Me and H have talked and talked about this and he thinks that if he asks his dad not to stay anymore than that will cause a huge argument (like it has Before) and his mom won't give him the money she still owes him. It's completely true as well. They also owe him a vehicle which he's hoping to see soon. While they were still in England they used H's car.. And since we were here, we used their car which they bought a few years back while over here. FIL drove H's car to shit and when they moved back over here in March they scrapped it. H was pissed because they then said it was his fault, which it wasn't... Since they came back they've taken their car back. Great... It turned into a fight and they said they would buy him another one which we have yet to see. They know I don't want him here.. I don't make him feel welcomed, I just hope H gets repaid for everything and we can move on. Ugh sorry for the vents

Honestly, I don't see him getting that money any time ever. If FIL is causing you that much stress and drama, it's time to cut your losses.
@maritza707 My parents have said the same about the money.. And I agree. It's sad because we watch them spending money on things and a ticket for his sister to go to England this month, but we have only seen a couple $100's the past 4 months. I don't think MH see his parents for how they really are. He's grown up and been raised by his controlling mother and is used to how she acts... It's sad and slightly pathetic
WTF people on the 6th floor that have to cram in the elevator at the end of the day. 25 people really cannot fit into one elevator. I'm on the 9th floor and your whole company tries to fit on the elevator with me. Wait for the next one and GTFO.
WTF MIL...A cloth diaper is nothing to be scared of. It's like a disposable diaper except....made of cloth. Please change my baby more than 2 times in 7 hours so I don't have to spend 3 days nursing an awful rash.
Not to mention, I gave you the option of using disposables if you weren't comfortable with cloth. No excuse!

I have the same issue. Ugh. I feel so stupid! Here's hoping we find them soon!
I'm going to share a WTF from my friend because it's hilarious.
She also has an August baby. Once she went back to work from ML, she met a new 50-something coworker that is also a new Grandmother. They chatted for a few minutes before my friend mentioned she had to go take her pumping break. The new coworker casually asked how much she gets per session, because her daughter gets x amount. My friend thought nothing of it, and mentioned that she has an over supply. Then the new coworker asked her that if she had any leftovers to give them to her because she would love it if her little Jakey could have some. WTF WTF WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Imo, your relationship with the ILs is already ruined. No matter if he even moves out, you will always remember the disrespect he showed you and your house. Your H needs to tell them you expect the $ and the car by X or your lawyer will be contacting them. Seriously, fil needs to go. You tell your H you can't take care of yourself and your family with him in the way and it's time to make a change.

He's scared of an argument. The last time he said something his parents blew up at him.. I explained what happend before and if rather not write it out again, but it was completeBS. He thinks he should help his parents blah blah. I pretty much just think he's scared of his mom. His dad is suppose to be going to talk to a guy about a job where thy live, but everytime I ask they say they don't know when. They are taking advantage of us and H doesn't see it. I think this weekend I'm going to have a talk with him about all this (AGAIN)..
Just got back from LO's weight check appt. She has oly gained an ounce in 2 weeks after gaining 5 in one week. Now, they are concerned. We have to up her Zantac and start Prilosec and go in for an ultrasound of her tummy. I feel like a complete failure of a mom for not being able to make sure my child is nourished. WTF whatever is bothering my LO. Leave her alone! Mommy is almost all cried out.

Sorry you're having such a tough time! DD went through a period where she only gained 2 oz in 2 weeks too. Then, we went back a week later and she had gained 9. The doctor didn't want me to stress about it as she said babies growth can ebb and flow.
Also, she suggested if I was worried, I could rent a scale from a local hospital or purchase one from Amazon.
I just wanted to let you know just because she didn't gain much this week, doesn't mean she won't gain well next week.
Also, the really good news is she isn't losing weight.

Hang in there. :::Hugs:::
Thank you. I have been so stressed out. Poor LO is super fussy all the time and we just can't figure out what is bothering her. My doctor didn't want me to worry at first, but now even she seems concerned.
I am hoping the ultrasound shows nothing is wrong and our LO is just tiny and growing at her own rate. I have been an emotional mess... Poor DH has two babies to deal with right now.
WTF me! I pumped SIX glorious ounces at work this morning and then forgot to put it in the fridge until just now... Six hours later. Nooooooooo
Any chance this is salvageable??? I'm going to cry if I have to throw it out esp cause LO doesn't like my frozen stash and she needs this for daycare tomorrow.

Some sites say toss after 6 some say 8. Can you feed it tonight and save whatever you can pump tonight for daycare? Not ideal, but might work. If it has "turned" it will smell or baby will turn up her nose at it.

I'd toss. 6 hours is too long. I won't trust anything past 4.

Smell test then taste test. If you wouldn't drink it after testing then toss it.
Wtf little brother! You still live at home, have no job, no car, and mooch off mom and dad (who are disabled and unemployed due to economy). Getting engaged to the bitch you treats you like shit and has broken up with you 5 times is not the smartest move you've ever made. I love you, but I can't get behind you on this one.
