I am super glad you decided you wanted to do tummy time, but why at 5AM?

Dear Cats-
We keep you out of the living room for a reason, doesn't mean climb over the pet gate to get on my new furniture.

Dear baby,
What was that last night? I appreciate the one long stretch we got but wanting to party at 5am isn't cool. Please don't be a cranky mess today and go back to sleep.
Love,
Mom

Please plan yourself. Thanks.

Kewii · April 2014

Dear Teeth,

Thanks for being awesome and only needing a minor filling replacement. Especially since I was all geared up for a root canal.

Love,
Still afraid of the dentist, but a little less so

matitice · April 2014

Dear Weekend,

Please don't fly by like usual. I'd really like to enjoy a little more family time before it's just me & the baby again come Tuesday.

Thanks.

Dear smell,

What are you and where are you coming from? I just changed LO's poopy diaper, why are you still hanging around. Is it still LO? Is it me?

Signed, in need of a shower probably.

Dear baby boy,

What was with refusing to go to sleep until 2 am then getting up at 5? Daddy has to work nights the next 2 nights please please please start sleeping again!!

Love your mommy who is dreading the next two nights alone

AshleyO925 · April 2014

Dear peanut, cat, and puppy,

Please behave yourselves while daddy is gone for a month at WLC. Especially once mommy goes back to work next week. My anxiety is through the roof just thinking about it.

Sincerely,
Don't think I won't put you up for adoption

bumpuser1282882 · April 2014

Dear baby,
Please sleep in your own bed tonight – mommy doesn't want to get a stiff neck again from trying to sleep with you.
Love, your tired mom.

Dear DH,
Please keep your sanity while I'm running errands by myself this morning.
Love, your wife who just wants to get the hell out of the house and do normal things by herself again.

Brich3321 · April 2014

Dear MIL,

Please give me at least an hour of silence in the next 3 days where you don't feel the need to talk or repeat what you said already for the 10th time.

Sincerely,
Your "I don't need to talk all day long or give a shit what Dr Oz says is right or wrong" DIL

ntdane · April 2014

Dear children,

Please cooperate and sleep on this car ride. I already have enough stress waiting for me when we get to Grandma's house.

Dear DH,

Please have patience on this road trip. Your days of driving anywhere without stopping are over and yes, it really does take them that long to eat. This trip will be much less stressful if you come to terms with this ahead of time.

Love,
Mama who thinks this could be a long weekend.

jazzyexpo · April 2014

Dear Facebook friend,

If you 'didn't' want to start a debate about vaccines on Facebook, why post an article about not vaccinating and saying this is why we chose not to vaccinate this time when no one even asked you. You finished by saying you didn't want to start a debate about vaccines.. What did you think was going to happen?? I'm ready to pull my eyes out with all this non-vaccinating bs.

Sincerely,
The vaccinating mom

My aunt just got it for her... but the buttons are crazy. Haha why would they do that to a mom?

I know. When dd was a newborn I bought her a dress from carters. I didn't realize til later it buttoned down the back.

tsmith312 · April 2014

Dear DH ,
I would be REALLY great if I could squeeze in a relaxing 15-20 min shower without getting out and hearing DD screaming . EVERY.SINGLE.TIME . Then you ask me , what do you thinks wrong with her as she screams in your arms! Just console her !
Love ,
Your stinky wife that needs a shower !!!!

Moedowell · April 2014

Dear ice machine in freezer,
Thank you for jamming up, requiring me to pull you open with baby in hand, which then made me get my finger caught in you, forcing my husband to try and help only making matters worse and finally requiring me to pull my finger from your death grip and gash it open, and for all the pain and blood to follow!
I'd rather be in labor again then feel the pain I just did... I'm finding your replacement online now! Hope you're happy!
Love,
Mom who only uses her left hand and is now one finger down for a while! )) :

WoodShopGirl · April 2014

Dear costco,
Please don't be a zoo today.

Dear H,
Why in the hell are you so bent on going to costco today. You know I can do this during the week when it isn't a zoo. And we really don't need anything that bad right now. Do you just want to have a family trip outside the house today?

Dear A,
Please continue to sleep for the next 2 hours so we can get this shopping trip over with.

Mrae87 · April 2014

Dear self,

You're doing fine. Stop killing yourself because everything isn't perfect.

And stop crying.

JalynTylerJackLiv · April 2014

Dear husband,

Why lie to me about calling to check if the book was full? I don't care that you have to work today, you were the one that wanted it off.

Your very upset wife

Kewii · April 2014

Dear LO,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Skipping your nightly witching hour is like a dream come true. Could we please do this every night?

love
Mom

kmeyers0611 · April 2014

Dear BB&B employee,

I am flattered that you think my baby is cute, but no, you cannot wake him up. When I say no and you ask why I am already side-eyeing you. When I tell you because he's napping, it's not cute when you reply with "well I'm not!" Back away from my child now.

Sincerely,

Creeped out mom

saisongbird · April 2014

Dear Allison,

Thank you for being the world's sweetest, happiest baby. You really only scream when you are hungry, and we are working on that. You are too precious for words and I love you more than I can describe.

Love, Mommy

Dear Dad,

Back the fuck off. Yes, my recovery is taking longer than average. Well, I didn't have a typical labor or c-section.
A fucking uterine artery was nicked. It
is taking some time, but I am making progress every day. I know you are concerned about the chills I am getting and my lack of appetite but my
bloodwork is improving and I am trying to eat. You are not calling the shots here. Stop behaving like you are.

Signed,

Your daughter who is ready to deny you access to your granddaughter.

Dear ILs,

I never thought I would write this, but thank you for being the reasonable set of grandparents and not visiting everyday and giving us some space. I know it must be hard and we don't mean to deny you access but thank you for respecting our need for space.

Love, your very grateful daughter-in-law

Dear DH,

You are superman. Seriously. I am so lucky to have you. You are amazing with Allison and have been so attentive to me and I don't know what I would do without you.

- your wife who falls more and more in love with you every day.
