I know I'm not the only one who is sleep-deprived and/or hormonal... so what's bugging you today?

    DH attitude around my mom drives me nuts. Can't we just be civil?? Luckily she's only here for 2 days.

    LO has morphed into the wacky inflatable flailing arm man and those crazy arms kept waking him up every 2 hours last night and made him falling back asleep after eating last a good half hour. I put him in the halo swaddle sack an hour ago, arms in, and he is sleeping good now! Guess who will be swaddled arms in from now on???

    I got a call from Capital One that my social security number was used to apply for a credit card while I was in the hospital... How convenient that it happened during a week that I was drugged up, incapacitated, distracted, and filling out forms with my SS# (and DH's) at least 3-4x a day.

    A newborn is a newborn they didn't ask to be brought into this world. To see women complaining constantly about there baby's absolutely erks me. It's sad to read and see. We all have our troubles which is why the bump is so great. But there's a fine line between venting/ asking advice and straight bitching about having a baby. Not saying I'm perfect I definitely get frustrated but I would never take it out on my child or try to neglect him. Again.. there is nothing wrong with venting and asking advice. There is something wrong with blatantly telling the world how big of a disaster you feel your new baby is.

    Short term disability has decided that I can't use it because benefits don't start till May 1st, and since baby was born in April I can't use it at all, even though I will still be on mat leave in May :( as if newborn isn't stressful enough! May have to go back to work at 4 weeks now! !

    Dd1 has been struggling with the new changes in the house.  MIL has taken it upon herself to correct this by creating a behavior chart.  Everything she does something good she gets a sticker AND a quarter for her piggy bank.  I really hate the reward system especially when it's for small things like brushing her teeth.  She could brush them fine prior to dd coming home.

    Today is my first full day with both kids by myself. They're both napping now which is incredible, but, whew, it was an adventure getting them both to sleep.  I am thoroughly impressed by moms with more than 2 kiddos. You are better women than I'll ever be. Seeing how much DD loves DS makes it so much better, though. 
    @imrachellea my little man is taking longer and longer to go back to sleep at night, too. I'm over here on nurse, burp, diaper, repeat while listening to hubby snore away. I know he can't help because boobs, but it doesn't make me shoot any less eye daggers his way haha.
    DH got mad at me because at 2:45, when I was struggling to get DD2 back to sleep, I asked him if he could try to burp her before he went out to sleep in the couch (he had to go to work, up at 5:30, do it didn't bother me he went to sleep elsewhere). It's nut like I asked him to take over, just try a couple minutes to get a burp out. He even brought it up again when he got home from work. Ugh. I get it that he can't do much, but there are little things he could do at night...

    I am so sick of everyone having something to say about everything!  When did this culture evolve into thinking that you have the right to voice an opinion on anything anyone ever does?  And ugh with the generalizations about people.  I am sick of the BF vs. FF debate.  I'm sick of the generalizations of BF moms being attention-seeking because they BF in public, and that if you FF you gave up and didn't try.  AND THEN I go online and see that Chrissy Teigan and John Legend went out to dinner without their baby and people just could not even believe it!  Yes, there are many people who wouldn't want to leave their children that young or couldn't leave their children that young but goodness gracious she's allowed to live!  My husband and I are going out to dinner this weekend and my parents are watching our 2 week old twins, because guess what?  My relationship with my husband is still just as important now as it was before our babies were born and I believe it is more important than ever to make sure we remember that there was an "us" before all of this happened.  My aunt and uncle are on the verge of divorcing because the empty nest after my cousins went to college/moved out caused them to realize that she put her kids lives so far ahead of her own, and so far ahead of her and my uncle's relationship that they have nothing in common and don't like each other anymore! 

    Also the fact that only SHE was getting criticized and not her husband.  Because I also hate the whole "my husband/SO is babysitting".  No, their dad is parenting.  Parents parenting is not babysitting.

    Others feel differently about all of this and that's fine, but I'm not going to criticize you!  BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME!  Whether or not you BF or FF, use pampers or cloth diapers, go out on "dates" right away or stay home for months - none of that matters in my house, and nothing that I do matters in yours!!  So shut your mouth! You can have an opinion, but that doesn't mean you need to voice it, especially when you are criticizing the choices that other people make that work best for their families and that, once again, have no effect on your family.

    Ugh rant over.

    Oh man, I do know a couple where the dad never watches the kids and calls it "babysitting!" It is ridiculous! It's not babysitting if it's your kid.

    I'm not a fan of reward systems either. If it were me, I would make it more of a graphic schedule of things that need to happen during the day.

    ^^Agreed.  We aren't carrying over the behavior chart in our house.  DD could really care less about it but MIL makes a huge to do and it just pisses me off.  I can also tell she's mad at me right now because she stopped texting me and is playing 20 questions with DH.

    Poor baby's got allergies and I can't do anything about them. Not to mention his random gas bubbles that'll send him into crying fits. It's been a long day. Hopefully it won't be a long night

    Sick of the phone calls, emails, messages, etc. Like I have been saying for the last 40 weeks and 5 days, I will call/message/etc. when I am ready for visitors after the baby has arrived. Obviously if I haven't done any of these things I am either 1)Still pregnant 2) In the hospital still 3) At home and still not ready for visitors. I've gotten to the point now where people that keep calling and asking are getting moved to the bottom of the notification list when we are ready for people to come around. I just want to be fat and miserable alone. Let me wallow people!

     This.  My twatwaffle of a SIL took advantage of me not being around at the family BBQ this weekend and cornered my 12 year old. She told her that I should not be having more kids and that she is more or less perfect because she stopped at 3 kids. She also told her that she shouldn't be the one "raising the kids," among other things.  :|  I didn't get the full conversation because I was beyond pissed by this point.  What kind of person does this? This isn't even the first time!  I feel like she's trying to get my kids to hate me.  My 12 year old sits in her bedroom 90% of the day, reading books and playing on her tablet. The other 10% is spent bitching about the 20 dishes she has to wash.  I have 8 kids that I am raising alone because the dh is only home 4-5 days out of the month. I run a business from home, keep up on the house work, home school said 12 year old, and make sure the outside chores are done as well.  And she can sit there and tell my 12 year old that I'm a terrible person who should have stopped having kids long ago because I do nothing? The way that I run my household has absolutely nothing to do with her, NOTHING. Nor does it affect her in any way, ever.

    UGHHHH!!!!!!! My induction was scheduled for tonight, but I got a call saying L&D only had two open rooms, and those are needed in case of emergency. So we're currenyly scheduled for Thursday... I know inductions usually come with a harder labor, but i'm at the point that I don't even care. I want him OUT. Maybe my water will break and one of those "emergency beds" will be mine!!!!!

    My DH suggested I start EPing so he can help at night. Guess who's been snoring through 2 nighttime feeds? Insert eye roll here....

    Yesssss!!! I was polite at first when people were inviting themselves over, first to the hospital during our extended stay and then to my home. Now I'm at the point where I don't even respond. As a new family, we need to prioritize making our schedules work for us. Things like napping and feeding take priority over fitting in extended periods of time with random people just sitting on the couch staring at the newborn going "awwww". Unless you're going to come over with a gourmet meal, and clean my house and wash my dogs while I nap, GTFO!!!

    This. Next baby, no one will be allowed to visit for at least two weeks. I'm sure I was very rude to my ILs but damn it, I was tired and hormonal and I just wanted my family to myself. Now at nearly 3 weeks PP, we're getting the hang of BFing, she's sleeping for longer stretches, and I can actually enjoy my parents being here for a few days.
