Ugh!!!! We are out at ILs now, and once again, MIL takes my son out of my sight?!?! Why?!? I know she's not going to hurt him it anything but why must she do this?!
Follow her. I would. I don't watch mil hold lo or I know I make faces like I'm terrified for her life but she must remain in the same room as me. I know I do this because fil always says something to me when he holds her like "are you nervous" I never lie I always say yes.
I usually do, but we were eating supper. My H was holding him and she just took him. She Didn't even finish eating, then she took him outside!! I was scarfing down my meal and kept looking outside. FIL did comment like, she's dive this before, and made a joke like, she'll only drop him twice. They are just weird. And, to top it off, DS was super fussy, and Everytime I would soothe him to sleep she it FIL would take him and wake him up!!! Grrr!!!

A couple have people have ready said it, but mine are 1. People waking up my baby just because they haven't seen her in a while - no, no, no, she needs sleep!! 2. People walking away with her to another room, especially when they are rubbish at holding her anyway! 3. People who are AWFUL at holding her anyway wanting to hold her - my BIL claims he is great with kids and all his family agree, I disagree and now that it's our baby, my DH agrees too - there's a difference between really liking kids and wanting to be near them all the time and being good with them!!!! Aghhhh! At least my husband agrees and is super protective so I don't look like a crazy momma all the time
Eurghhhh that's another one! Why is it cute when DH gets protective and says "no, I want to cuddle her for a while now", but if the mum says it then they are crazy and "hogging the baby" grrrrr
@CaseAndDave nothing is wrong with you! We opted for me to stay home bc my salary would have virtually all gone to childcare and the time away from LO with my commute was wayyyyyy too much so I feel ya!
DH gets annoyed when he can't soothe the LO. The only reason I have any idea is practice, not getting frustrated & giving up and Googling. I keep telling him if he wants ideas or to have some idea to help me out he needs to do the same thing. So I love when he tells me he has no time to do these things but has time to play video games. I know she is just 6 weeks but he has no "job" when it comes to DD. He helps when I ask but he's not the one that does baths or bedtime like some of you guys. I feel like I should just hand her to him when she's fussy & full and just say "figure it out, I did"
This is exactly what's happening at our house right now. H is going to have to figure things out because I can't always soothe both of the twins at the same time
I wish I could flip a switch to turn the milk off. Weaning f'ing sucks. And dd is getting a little jealous of DS and now wants held all the time. This usually involves her hurling herself at me yelling 'HOLD ME!!' while I'm sitting and slamming her relatively small, but still 30 lb, body into my boobs. It also led me to have to hand express milk in the bathroom of the yoga studio last night to make it bearable during class.
Also @AriaAmante143 I think having a baby really makes it clear who your friends are. I found that to be the case with dd in such a big way. It hurt at first but it allowed dh and I to focus on those people who made time and put in effort to see us and cut times with those who were just too wrapped up in their lives. After dd turned 1, one 'friend' told me sorry he hadn't been to see her, he had been really busy. I was just like um yeah ok...you haven't had 30 open minutes in a full year!?! Wow!! If something is a priority you find a way...if it's not, you find an excuse.
Yeah @clo1982 I found out today (from Facebook) that she's been on vacation for a week. Didn't even consider coming to see me.
I think I'm done reaching out to her. If she wants to be in my life and LOs, she needs to make an effort.
You have far less time available to dedicate to friendships once a baby arrives. Looking back it was good to find out which were worth the effort and which I just needed to let go, regardless of how long standing they had been.
I didn't have a bitch today, but now that Monday is coming to a close, I do.
LO will not sleep unless I'm touching her today. Her bassinet is a no-go. Her own area of my bed is a no-go for more than ten minutes. The swing is a last resort we only use at bedtime.
Oh. And when she isn't sleeping, she's trying to tear my nipples off, puppy-in-a-tug-of-war style.
@FarmBoysWife I am screwed I have 3 kids now so that's 75% of my brain gone... No wonder I am crazy enough to keep having kids I have no more sanity left!
Re: B-Fest Monday?
My bitch: What the fuck does it matter to you?

The randomest thread is by far the best thread evah!!!!

Get it together, boobs.

No. No... It can't be...! She actually sucked my brain out through my tits!
Ah well. Sleep deprivation does that to a girl. ::shrug::
