    I went and volunteered at the animal shelter last night.  My sister flaked out and said that she wouldn't be able to watch my kids, so last minute, I took them over to my parents house. I thought that I would only be gone for 2 hours, max.  I didn't anticipate leaving them there and didn't have a bag of milk for her.  Well, I was gone for 2.5 hours and my mom and sister (who showed up) gave her applesauce.  I know that fatty was probably hungry but I'm still a little miffed inside for them giving her applesauce.  They were bitching at me for "making her starve" and then laughing about how they were the first to "give her food without permission from HER MOM!!" I will be better planned next time, assholes.
    Not cool  It's not like you were gone that much longer.  They couldn't wait 30 more minutes for you?  I'd be more than "miffed."

    I am enraged just reading that. Totally something my DH family would do.
    Well, I was at first and I'm trying to think rationally.  Could she truly have been hungry??  I had fed her right before I left and immediately upon my return (which she didn't nurse that long).  They said that she puckered and didn't eat it all that well.  Well, DUH...she's never had anything besides BM before.  "Oh, it won't hurt her!"  I never wanted ex's family to watch my kids, now I'm thinking that my family needs to be added to that list also. 
    Oh, right..rational thought. I'm not the best at that when I'm trying to be pissed. Maybe she was hungry and they thought they were doing a good thing. What bugs me is that they were rubbing your nose in it.
    The irony is that I am always the hothead who reacts first but being on TB has "taught" me to CTFO on such occasions and think about things before I flip my shit.  It doesn't always work, but I'm getting there. I plan on being better prepared for future babysitting affairs.

    No. It was 30 minutes extra. I'm pretty surere they could've distracted her by playing. I'd flip.

    Wtf! I'd be super pissed off!!

    That's a total dick move.  

    Couldn't they have called or texted you to check first? That's what bothers me, I have a hard time believing they did it because they felt she was starving as opposed to wanting to be the ones to give her, her first taste of food.

    Bullybutt, I would be livid. MIL has joked twice about "if Mom weren't here, I would give you food..." to my daughter. She goes on and says stuff like "but it is so cute to watch babies react!", etc. I told my DH that she cannot watch DD alone until I can trust that she will respect our wishes to wait on food. This is my child, not hers. She already raised a child - it's my turn.

    I'm really sorry they did that to you.

    @bullybutt I agree with everyone else. I don't think you need to feel like you overreacted to what happened. Why couldn't they have called you and told you she was getting fussy/hungry? My MIL hasn't ever gone quite so far as to feed my kids solids before we gave the okay, but she has tried to downplay things many before. I mean, I understand not wanting to freak us out upon our return, but they watched the boys overnight for us recently and ODS (he's five and very honest) told us a couple days later that YDS (just turned three and isn't a good sleeper) cried for a really long time before he fell asleep. Broke my heart. MIL didn't even mention it and that pisses me off.

    Not trying to say a crying three year old = a hungry baby. Just commiserating about why grandparents try and fail to "fix" things in their own sometimes. Is it a pride thing? I just don't get why they didn't call you if they know she's EBF and you didn't leave a bottle. WTF!

    Okay, I'm done.

    I have a colleague who got pregnant shortly before I had dd. She didn't want to get pregnant, never wanted kids, and got pregnant due to a failed IUD. She asked me about everything and I've been 100% honest about everything that's great and everything that's not. She is hating every second of it, complains about everything and talks about how awful everything is. She is currently freaking out because she has gained more weight than she wanted. (she's 29 weeks and gained 19 pounds) I have been trying to be positive for her, but I'm at the end of my rope. I've encouraged adoption, but she won't do that. I guess I will just do my best to keep being positive.

    Hopefully. I hope that she gets the magical sweet baby and falls in love with her and all that unicorn and rainbows stuff.

    I too was 'allowed' to sleep in until 7:00am! Of course I had dd in bed with me. But it was so nice sleeping a little extra and her not waking up screaming! Today will be a good day!

    Right outside the closet door in the office. I had been sewing DSs stocking in that room, but can't think of why I would have dropped my drawers in that particular spot

    Ugh! Hope it's not forever lost. Putting it in a bowl of rice to dry has worked for me in the past when I dropped my iPhone into a cup of orange soda.

    POOP PHONE!

    Related (?) story:
    Picking DD up from daycare one day last year, there was a little boy, completely bare bottomed, eating an afternoon snack. "Mason, where are your pants?" Then the teacher turned around, and with horror in her eyes exclaimed "MASON, WERE DID YOU GET THAT TOAST?"
    turns out toast was NOT the provided afternoon snack. He had gotten it out of the trash can.
    We still talk about mason and his poop toast

    Thankfully, I just bumped into the magazines that had the phone stacked on top. I was not in the act of defacating or even urinating so it was recovered in less than 2 seconds. 

    I went to Target and grabbed 14 silica packets out of the purses, and buried the phone in rice and silica packs. I'm leaving town tomorrow for work, so I'll check it Wednesday night or Thursday morning when I get home.

    @sharmon1317‌ DS isn't rolling back to front either. Some days he shows interest in trying other days not so much. He rolls belly to back though.

    DD doesn't like to roll. She can roll from belly to back but has only done it once or twice. Back to belly, I don't know if it will ever happen. She's currently trying to sit up on her own and just looks like she's doing crunches. She refuses to roll over to sit up. Just lays (lies?) in a constant crunch motion.

    Alice is now rolling onto her tummy as soon as I put her to bed which is fine, except when I check on her and she's moved her head so she's face down in the mattress UGH. Help.

    My mom has had a complication from her brain surgery-she has brain swelling which is causing her to have lost movement on her right side (still has feeling, she just has to really concentrate on it to make her fingers or toes move.) I am irrationally upset that her and and my dad will most likely miss Arlo's baptism. We had to postpone the baptism so DH's brother can be there (he's godfather) and DH didn't want to do it by proxy so it basically came down to having to pick between my parents and the brother and I'm upset that my parents are the ones who can't make it. I am focusing on this so I don't dwell on worst case scenarios. Thanks for letting me vent.
    Hugs @Danipg. I hope your mom is better soon.
