Bit of a chat anyone?

Re: Bit of a chat anyone?
I'm having SAMCRO withdrawals; I might have have to watch a little SOA today. Love me some Jax!
@barrelocarol I did Arrested Development a few years ago... It's wonderfully hilarious!
I'm pooped! I did dishes, laundry, and then cleared out the boys dressers removing all the clothes that are now too small. My eldest got a new wardrobe yesterday (courtesy of Nana), and I had to be able to fit it in his drawers. It doesn't take too much to completely wipe me out these days!
Caesar salad for lunch...! Yum-o!
BBQ here, no doubt the meat sweats will be back later lol ;-)
My sister came up from Texas for the week to visit me, and see our sister graduate from high school. She has a little boy, who's seven months old, so apparently that makes her the expert on pregnancy, and anything baby related. I love her, and appreciate her advice, but sometimes she's just so pushy. I told her that I was going to have a natural birth, and before I could explain that it was for medical reasons, she laughs IN MY FACE and says "you can't handle pain. You'll be screaming for an epidural before you know it." She also brought me a whole bunch of diapers, and when I politely told her I would be cloth diapering, she told me it was a bad idea, and to think of the infections that my baby could get from being in cloth diapers. I've been trying to be receptive of all the advice she's trying to give, but sometimes she thinks that there's only one way to do things.
She also said it was stupid to spend $250 on a stroller, and said that I should have gotten a travel system.
Then she went to our apartment, and started saying how dangerous our neighborhood is (we live in the Haight), and how SF is an awful place to raise a kid. Then she saw the nursery, and said "why gray? Are you trying to do that gender neutral bs?" I was livid. I told her that no, gray is just easy to decorate with than pink. She also thinks that teaching my baby sign language is stupid, and will hinder her development.
I've been trying to be calm and polite with her, but I feel like I might snap at any moment. She's taking everything beautiful about what we've done and planned for our little Izzy and making is seem awful. I've been trying to remind myself that this is my baby, and my pregnancy, and I can do what I feel is best, but she makes me feel so down.
Sorry. Rant over.
I want to come over and never triple duct tape wrap your gifts!!!
I posted this thread to help me through a difficult time, stuffs still going on in my life and I'm glad that this thread has kept going as it takes me away from the real world for a while.
More drama, catty comments, could do without them, can we please leave this thread alone?
Thanks :-)
Hugs from across the pond!! >:D<
On the up side, I'm going to the Cheesecake Factory tonight for cheesecake. I have been waiting for this moment for a while now.
What's going on?
