I got pissed! STTN

in July 2013 Moms
Just a little vent...

I was chatting with a friend yesterday (she doesn't have children) and I mentioned that LO wakes up 2-3 times per night and so I don't get to sleep 4 hours in a row very often. She said "isn't he too old for that?"... I know she didn't mean to be mean but it sounded like if LO was 'behind' and she has also asked a few times if he is now in a healthy weight range (he is only like 4 pounds above average!! he IS healthy)... 

Why do ppl always have to express their opinion in things they don't know sh!t about?

    So frustrating. A friend of mine used to be a nanny so she's always telling me things. I just hit the ignore button in my mind and stop listening

    That's a case of "just you wait"

    This this this!
    I love the "just you wait" cases. I'm one of the only people in my group of friends to have a baby and I find myself saying that. A LOT.

    No offense but if you were chatting with her about it, did you expect her not to respond? For someone who doesn't have children, her response is pretty typical, right or wrong.

    There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it.  ~Irena Chalmers

    @Altima80 I just didn't expect her to say my LO is a bit too old for that... he is 9 months :S I mean, if he was 3 years old I would understand her amazement... 

    @danigirl7181 I know! Maybe I'm overreacting :/ she will figure out things in due time

    I don't know, in my experience whether or not people have kids, they still think 9 months is too old to wake up at night. It's annoying. Sorry :(.

    ETA: I'm not counting my super awesome interweb friends :)

    Without being on the bump I would have no idea that babies still regularly wake up at this age. Both of mine gave up night feedings (except for every now and then for a growth spurt) and started sleeping through the night at 6mo.

    People don't talk about it much on FB, and the mom friends I have at playgroup all have good sleepers. So I would never have known otherwise without my exposure to a really broad group of babies here. I don't think that it's common knowledge that some babies still wake up regularly past 6mo. Especially for someone without kids.

    In her defence. So you don't clock her next time you see her. ;)

    I wish I could think all babies sleep through the night by 9 months. Too bad my own baby wants to prove that theory wrong every single night. I think talking about babies is like talking about pregnancy, people don't know what to say so they end up saying cliche or stupid shit.
    LOL!  =))

    You are right on, @Rmnam1 - that is so true. FWIW, a good night is 3 wake ups or less here, and we're going on 10 months. ;)
