Because that's what I choose to freak out about today. I'll let you know what tomorrow's freak out is.
I'd honestly be like "ok, well, cancel that order, and come pick up this other furniture that is supposed to match it. I don't have a reciept, and it's been used, but come get it, and refund me, and I'm going elsewhere." I would be a LUNATIC.
I bitched about Target endlessly, but they did ship my shit in like 2 days. It was bumped and scratched, but they gave me $100 off because of it. When I bitch, I demand results. Start big, and they might meet you in the middle. I would be using the "I have this baby ALREADY, I cannot put her in a trash can to sleep" excuse OVER and OVER.
Phew. I feel really flustered after this post.
I really hope this isn't the start of something ugly. She also told my mom she bought him multiple holiday outfits, and can't wait to have him over for Christmas Eve (which we told her isn't happening as we will start hosting this year.). /sigh/

If it makes you feel any better my lo is over 2 weeks old and his "nursery " still looks like a guest bedroom. The crib we will use is still occupied by a 3 year old.
My MIL told me that she wanted to be there for the birth of my baby. She said she wanted to be there to hold my hand. I should have addressed it when it came up, but instead of ruining mother's day dinner, I told her I hadn't really given any thought to my birth plan. Fast forward to the day of delivery. We had intended to talk to her about our plans for delivery, but our kid showed up 3 weeks early. Instead we had to tell her the day of that we just wanted it to be DH and the doula there. She was so upset that she didn't show up to the hospital with FIL. Instead she said she was too busy and went to the 49ers game. She told us she was really upset we couldn't set aside some time just for her and wanted to know what she had done to deserve that. Uuuum, what? This really upset DH. He was super sad that his mom was behaving this way.
Then there's my mom... Called her the evening of the day I went into labor so she could be ready to come up to visit the next day. Told her we wanted visitors the next day (we told this to all our immediate family). She came up and about 10am we texted that people could come by the hospital. She showed up first and had a good half hour before anyone else visited. Both SILs came and my mom was a total bitch to the SIL who offered to throw me the shower. Had her back to her the whole time and made shitty remarks. They all left and the next day we had to deal with the jaundice stuff so we told my mom to hang back. MIL decided she wanted to visit after all so we told her to come by about an hour before we were discharged. My mom had offered to cook us dinner, so she was at our house when we got home. She told us during dinner that she had been depressed all day that we had had visitors when she was here. We didn't have visitors, we were in the hospital worried about our baby and unable to console her while she was in light therapy.
I wish someone would have told me the grandmothers would lose their fucking minds as soon as the kid showed up.
When we got to their place, I got my camera out and took a picture of FIL meeting and holding Layla, and MIL threw this giant shit fit about how we must not want any pictures of her and DD because I never took a picture of them at our house - keep in mind this is the first time I got my camera out period. So I tried telling her I just hadn't gotten a photo of them yet and I would take one right then. Well, I took the pic, and it is hilarious. MIL looks so pissed off in the picture and she's not looking at the camera at all. Sometimes I'll open that picture up on my computer just to get a giggle.

As I've been posting pictures of Chloe on Facebook, she comments about wanting to snuggle with her. In my head I think how she has the chance every year to spend time with her grandchildren but chooses to focus on other things instead. And it's not our fault she moved across the country for no reason. I hope she understands one day that you can't buy relationships.
Today, he said "don't worry I will cover your paternity leave one two weeks whatever you want."
Perfect! Right? No, he was drunk and there is no guarantee that he will remember. Sigh.
Also he calls what we women do "calving." Did I mention he is single?
From what I know about the stores I've worked at in Michigan 80% of the furniture is not kept stocked in the store and has to be ordered from the warehouse. The back rooms just aren't big enough to keep all of the furniture stocked on a day to day basis. So recommending you check another store would probably prove pointless.
However, sometimes, TRU and BRU operate out of different warehouses. So I would recommend calling your local TRU and see if they are able to order for you
Good luck!
ETA: The reason they can't order is because there aren't any in THEIR warehouse. Just adding clarity for my second paragraph.

Some days I just feel like I could drown in all these feelings. This might be an over share. I'm just so tired, physically and emotionally. This board keeps me sane most of the time.
On a serious note I can't imagine what you are going through. Lots of creepy internet hugs and t&p coming your way
Well I just lost it today when BIL'S wife posted pictures of her new house on Facebook. They never even told us they were buying a house. They are so out of touch. They do not care about us, and dint want us to be a part of their lives (yet we planned their second wedding reception with no thank you). And I just felt like shit that BIL, wife, or FIL haven't asked about the baby at all. They just don't give a shit. I just keep thinking how nice it must be to not have to worry about a newborn and to buy a new house and they don't have to worry about not getting sleep or having hospital bills.
I'm so lucky to have my MIL. I know that. But my feelings are hurt. I want them to be a part of our lives. And the FIL thing is worse, since my dad would have loved to have met this baby.
These people will show up for pictures and leave. And I don't want to let them. Fuck them. I want people to know they don't care about us and I won't fake a relationship if they make no effort.
I had big ugly cries. It just felt like no one cares about this baby, and with this depression, I'm trying to force myself to care about her. Logically, I know I will love her. But the depression is not making it easy to feel it. My husband says it will change once I see her. But that's not always true. My doctor suggested upping my dose. I'm going to do it, I think.
@SPurp13 :x
I will say 2 yrs later it is (a bit) easier... But now dealing with "stop feeding her chocolate cake!!! She's had 3 pieces thanks to you!!" Or "no! She's never had soda and doesn't need any!!!"
All I have to say is try to grow a pair sooner rather than later!!
@SPurp13 I'm sorry you're having a hard time I wish I could say something to make you feel better. Once she gets here you'll realize how she's more worth all of this than you can even imagine right now.
@windwithfingers I truly cannot even fathom what you go through and how much of a roller coaster it must be (I have tried and it breaks my heart). Don't feel bad for sad days, you are beyond an amazing mother and have your husband with y'all every step of the way watching over.
