Guise , I went to pick LO up from my moms .. She says " Harpers hungry , she ate cereal this morning with her formula and had carrots for lunch ". Cue tears I'm a blubbering mess ! I was planning on starting solids this week but I wanted to be the one who fed her ! And then she proceeded to tell me Harper rolled over for her . All the more reason I hate working , I miss everything ! I'm infuriated that she fed her without my consent ( you know she fed her ice cream over the 4th ). Other then daycare I have no idea what to do !

@tsmith312 so sorry, I would be livid! Did you tell her how you felt after the 4th and that you do NOT want her to feed her anything without your consent?
Yes DH and I both did .. We can't really afford daycare . Im not sure what to do . It's almost like she's doing it on purpose I'm not sure why though . Just because my parenting ideas don't align with hers ..,

@tsmith312 I'm sorry, sometimes even grandmas suck. I would be really upset too. It seems so weird to me... Like what does she get out of doing things like that? People are weird.
@tsmith312 - I'm sorry. That really sucks, at a minimum you need to sit down with your mom & explain what you want / expect. She needs to respect you as a parent.
I too learned yesterday that LO has rolled from back to tummy at daycare a few times & I haven't seen it yet...I'm a tiny bit sad, but as far as I'm concerned it's not a "first" until I see it - so I'm just waiting patiently for him to share his new skill with me. I'm sure they are just perfecting it & practicing so it's super awesome when they show mom because we're their favorite audience, right??
That's what I say . It's only a first when I see it , atleast that's what I'm telling myself !

Does anyone else have an LO who swings their arm frantically while eating? She keeps punching herself in the face and hitting the bottle out of her mouth. We have to hold her arms now while feeding, I hope this doesn't last long.
Yes, LO pinches me and punches himself while eating. He swings his hands all over the place. This is usually when he has to fart or poop. But he does it other times too.
DS1 used to do it too. I definitely had to hold his hands for a while.
@tsmith312 MIL did the same sort of thing with DS1. We told her NO to some things she was doing. And WAIT for others.
She gave LO foods in excess that he had never had before, then developed rashes. She fed him an entire box of Baby Mum-mums in 2 days and he became constipated to the point that he had recital prolapse. **of course, she didn't think anything SHE did caused any of the issues**
She still feeds him stuff occasionally that we disagree with, and has been spoken to many times about doing so. Now she 'omits' certain items from the list when she says what he ate.
We don't send him there because WE need her to babysit. She wants him over, so we do... But when I go back to work, she may see him less.
Sorry, that wasn't helpful at all. Lol. Mothers (and MILs) are bad people. Lol.
Thanks ladies , of course H doesn't have much to say to the matter . My moms view and my view on parenting are way diffrent ! Like I don't want to give her cereal because I feel like there's no nutritional value to it . But of course she feeds it to her . She thinks Harper needs more to eat , she's perfectly content with just formula , it's like now that she's 4 months it's time to feed her a steak . It just upsets me for so many reasons !

@tsmith312 so many wrongdoings here she didn't have your permission, she just did whatever she wanted, and she fed Harper stuff you wouldn't do right now. All without you!! I'm fuming for you as well and if it were me, that would be the end of my mom's "services." Just the other day when my mom was babysitting the girls, we got into a small disagreement and I just said "my kids, my rules" sometimes our moms think they know best, but not so much...their wisdom has its place, but it's not 1980/1990s anymore. Sheesh
There was a wasp in my car today!! I drove somewhere and didn't see it till I got to my destination and went to take lo out. I was so scared that it could have stung her!! I left my car windows open an it finally left...thank god.
I have taken LO swimming twice today because she is super tired after and actually naps. Plus she loves it and looks adorable in her suit. It's a win for all.
I honestly skipped all of the posts from today. I don't like drama so I am sorry if I missed anything important.
Tomorrow is shot day where we give back to school shots all day. Yikes going to be some crying kids tomorrow! Today I was in charge of baby block where we gave shots for 0-2 month olds. So many cute babies I made cry.
Soooooo I missed a lot eh? I'm writing from the past (again) lol... as in I'm on page 511 (posts around July 15th). Might try to catch up.... we'll see... so much drama and stuff I feel like I have to.
I blame my absence on a 4 month sleep regression combined with my attempts to wean off the swaddle. Oh boy.
@tsmith312 I'm angry for you. That really sucks that she's still not respecting your parenting choices. I wish I could nanny for you just so you could keep LO away for a while.
FFTC: I just logged into my mom's fb account so I could hide my stepmom from her newsfeed.
I'm so fucking sick of her being passive aggressive about the situation.
"Vacation was awesome, Mom!"
"Well, it's not a yacht in the Caribbean. I'm sorry we can't afford what your dad and stepmom can."
OVER IT.
Gosh your mom And my mom need to be friends IRL ! She blocked my step mom from FB but yet made a fake FB so she could stalk her ! WTH ?!?!
How on earth did she con your stepmom into accepting a fake friend request?
Also, this is stupid. My parents have been divorced for going on 30 years, and my dad doesn't take me on his Caribbean vacations anyway... I'm so irritated and tense.
Thank you, husband, for the amazing alcoholic beverage you concocted for me.
My dumb step moms page isn't private , so anyone can see her . My moms daily activity is stalking her . Me and my dad haven't seen each other in forever ( we don't get along ). But yet I know everything they do ! Ie: your dad got a pool , his cars broke down , they went here there etc etc . I think she knows more what he does now then when they were married . They've been divorced 12 years and both re married !

@FFwifey that's what I'm trying to convince myself of. Sometimes working for a really small (7ppl) company is hard! I feel like they will be like "you just got back from maternity leave blah blah blah" or something.
But I want to ask soon because if they say yes it would be so amazing.
we could be the same person! I did the same thing but opted out of lunch (it's not mandatory and I signed a release saying I didn't want it? So I work 8-4 and munch while working anyways, do my pumping start of work and on my 10s. My bosses gave me the OK and it's been great
At my 6 wk PP I asked "So I guess I'll just see you the next time I get pregnant?" Him "Well you're due for a PAP next July.." Me: "So I'll just see you the next time I'm knocked up!"
Hopefully you can figure something out soon @torilea ps. How's the apartment hunting going?? Any leads?
Thinking of everyone in all of the ups and downs..(feel like that's covering most everything) ( ;
Today sucked! It was my 8yr anniversary and I didn't see dh except to say have a good day and good night! I worked from 9a-11p, took my summer camp group on a busy trip, made a kid cry, hormones are everywhere, got yelled at by a bunch of mean grown men at my men's softball games tonight and again missed my kids and my dh all day!! Hate my job today, hated everything'! Please let tmrw be better! / : And Millie will be 4mo tmrw(wahh I want my baby back!)

I am sorry I can't keep up with you ladies anymore but I am not sorry I missed all the drama.
MH is now gone more than half the time and I can't bump at work. So no bump time for me.
Just wanted to say hi.

@tsmith312 Sorry your MIL is being dissrespectful, intentionally or not that shit still would bum me out.
@TallAsh oh my gosh I'd probably go to those lengths too! Do you feel like a stealthy secret agent hacking the Facebook? Lol

How much does the new mystery villan girl remind you of Anne Hathaway??
Anyway, 4 months tomorrow! We have shots. I'm making DH leave work early to come this time. Then we go away on Thursday!
#-o you know, @SurpriseAt39 I thought that right after I posted, but forgot to go back and edit! Ha!
But I don't know about all the other old birds around here.
ETA:
Just glad we don't have to include the '60's. lol
