Monday bitchfest..

FIL, stop giving my 7 month old pure sugar!!!!!!!!!! He gave him caramel on Father's Day and at a cook out at their house last night I had to stop him from giving him grape pop cycles 4 times!!!!!! I finally said "he doesn't need sugar! You gave him caramel on Father's Day, you've done enough damage!" Mil was like "oh! You got in trouble.." Then later he offered him chips saying "when you're older you can help me eat my snacks" once again I said "no, he's not. We're not pouring junk food into him from the beginning!"

How did my husband survive? Chips to a 7 month old?????

    I caught my husbands grandma giving Hayley baby food from a jar I had not provided, she bought it somewhere. (We give plenty of food for the record).This is part of an ongoing battle because she dosent understand breastfeeding and dosent want to understand it- she thinks we are starving the baby since bottles aren't larger than 4/5oz. I ransacked her kitchen when she wasn't home to try and find her stash of illegal baby food, no luck. It's got to be somewhere. We told her not to do it anymore, yea, like she's going to listen.

    Sounds like my weekend. I caught MIL trying to give him ice cream, cake, pieces of cookie and chewing up a mango a putting in his mouth. I wanted to throw up. And she wonders why I've only let him stay with her when I have absolutely no other option. Did I mention my husband is the only one in his family who is not obese? I tell her if he's hungry there is a bottle right here. I come back from the bathroom and there is frosting on his face.
    Stay the eff away from my child's mouth woman!

    My mom is the exact opposite. I gave Luke some banana while we were on vacation and my mom nearly broke her ankle trying to get to him to take it away. I guess she thought I gave it to the wrong kid? She was schcked when I told her about blw and the things he gets at home. She would never ever try to give my kids food without asking me.

    Speaking of grandparents and food. This happened a while ago but I think you ladies will appreciate it. So I mentioned above that it is an ongoing battle with DH's grandma who babysits twice a week. His grandfather thinks I'm over reacting, grandpa's solution was to stick peeps, yes peeps of the marshmallow variety, into hayleys diaper so I would think she passed them whole. Not funny. At. All.

    I'm going to bitch about my city's parks and rec! We are having Layla's Baptism on Sunday, all my sisters will be there and all 12 of Layla's cousins so we were just going to do a little outdoor party at the park near the pool so that the kids could go swimming in the afternoon after lunch. Well I called to confirm the reservation I made, and they didn't have any record of it, and booked the shelter area to a different person. So now I am scrambling to find an alternate area. I could have it at my house, but that would require me to do a deep clean which I do not have time for this week.

    I am really hoping that the girl scout's allow me to rent their little property that is right by the pool It would actually be even more ideal because it is air conditioned. I guess they have to check the by-laws to see if it is allowed. So right now I'm just waiting to hear back, and hoping that I don't end up having to clean my house this week :(

    Wtf is wrong with some of that generation? I had to deal with the food issue which was a hoot. But in the meantime I had to listen to my mil rant about how lo is going to be paying for the debt that Obama is racking up. (She knows I'm a democrat and voted for him) and my fil try to explain to me what really happened to the Native Americans and why we are really at war in Afghanistan. I have a bachelor's degree in History and have been teaching it for 12 years. But I don't know shit apparently. This was at a FUN family BBQ. I had a blast let me tell you. I wish I could spend (waste) more weekends with them.

    We went to an obnoxiously over the top 1st bday party for my cousin's kid over the weekend.  I have no problem passing him around to my aunts and grandma, etc. but it took all I had not to bitch my aunt out in front of everyone.

    She insisted on taking him even though it was close to nap time, but whatever it gave me a minute to pee and get his things together.  In the 5 minutes she had him:  he ate tissue paper because she was on her phone with him in her lap not paying attention, she fed him a popsicle and was about to give him cake before I yelled at her, and applied sunscreen that isn't approved for kids, even though I clearly had applied our sunscreen 10 minutes earlier right in front of her.  I honestly think she does it to annoy me because she's made comments about us "only giving him fruits and vegetables and nothing fun" and "stupid organic sunscreen" and something about his cloth diapers.

    I'm going on vacation with her in August because my mom paid for the place and she's too cheap to buy her own.  FML.

    I was driving home from Boston this AM, and before I left I asked my dad to pick up my dog at my in laws to bring her home (he was coming to my house anyways) in case T fell asleep in the car so I wouldn't have to stop and risk waking him and having him cry the rest of the way home.

    When I was about 50 minutes from home, I got a call from my SIL but didn't pick up because T was sleeping. I got home and see she had texted me when I was driving (45 min before her call) and asked if I wanted to hike with her. When I texted her back when I got home, she said she was really sad that I didn't let her know my dad was coming to pick up the dog.

    WTF, I thought you were working today one, two what does it matter what is happening with MY dog, three I told your parents yesterday she was going to be picked up late morning. Stop guilt tripping me family, I CANT TAKE IT!

    I get anxiety reading this. Sounds like some of the fucktards I have to deal with.

    Ever since starting daycare I feel like Little man is sick ALL THE DAMN TIME. We finally had a full month of no illness, not even a runny nose and it was glorious! Of course we had to switch daycares because we moved and after his first week he is sick as a dog. Coughing, green snotty nose and double ear infection. UGH. Damn new daycare and new germs.
