Need to vent NBR

So last night DD (16 months) started throwing up. She wasn't keeping anything down for a few hours and it was scary. We gave little bits of Gatorade (per her ped's instruction) but she threw that up too. DH ran out for pedialtlyte and finally she was able to keep an ounce of that down (given over the course of 30 minutes) and fell asleep around 9. I didn't sleep until 11:30 because I was too keyed up and worried about her. At 12 she woke up screaming and basically screamed until 3am. She didn't want to be rocked (which is our go to when she wakes up at night) and was just miserable but thankfully didn't throw up again. After she finally went to sleep I slept some bit kept dreaming that she was crying or that I was throwing up.

This morning I go in to work at 10 because I work until 7. My MIL lives with us and keeps DD and several other toddlers. I couldn't sleep in because DD is being a cranky monster. I get up and the first thing I hear is my MIL going off on me about how it was our fault she was up because we have her Gatorade and that "wakes people up". WTF? It shouldn't have bothered me this much but I came back to my room and just called DH crying... Time to get my shit together and go to work to see 7 clients and hear about the shit they're dealing with. Sorry, no point to this other than I feel like I'm losing it! This too shall pass I'm sure... But damn, parenthood is hard sometimes and living with my MIL doesn't help!

    Thanks ladies :)

    @ExcitedMama2 the image of her throwing up on grandma made me laugh out loud

    I've since gotten it together a little. In her defense my MIL's room is right next to DD's room so she was up all night too and tried to help us calm her down. We're all just exhausted and worn out. She gets on my nerves some but it ramps up 100% when DD's sick. MIL just immigrated from the Dominican Republic a few months before DD was born and there are so many different cultural beliefs and wives tales (especially around health/illness), she's always coming up with some crazy shit when DD is sick. I'll have to start writing it down to get a laugh later.
