My MIL and SIL asked to watch my daughter last Friday instead of her going to daycare. Although, I wasn't thrilled, I let them take her and gave specific rules, especially no driving unless to and from my house and to use the three bottles of pumped breastmilk that I had and formula after if absolutely necessary. Well...they took her to my MIL's work to "show her off" and gave her 3 bottles of breastmilk and 2 bottles of formula from 8am-1pm!! To make things even worse, they tried to hide the fact that she had formula from me and told my SO that they felt she was really hungry and they didn't want to tell me because I would be mad. Well obviously!! I didn't find all of this out until the next day after I had worried all night because she wasn't nursing like normal. Ugh! They just lost their privileges.
I'm on mat leave and my employer fired my manager this morning. Not only was the reason complete bullshit, she was the best manager we've ever had and the main reason I didn't quit about a year ago. Oh, and I had to hear about her being fired through the grapevine even though I run an entire department. Ugh. I'm devastated.
SO is getting on my nerves. LO is 4 months old, and the poor little guy is teething something awful. SO hates when LO cries (he gets super anxious) he is convinced that when LI cries at night because of his teeth it's actually because something is wrong with him and he HAS to go to the doctor, and I have to stop working to take care of him... I keep trying to tell him it's his teeth but he's not listening. (Eye roll)
@katievw311 I would be pissed too! The answer to a fussy baby is not to put a bottle in their mouth. But driving around would upset me the most.
I'm mad at DH even though I'm sure he meant it to be nice. Instead of coming to bed last night he slept on the couch with the monitor. I'm assuming to let me sleep. He gave her a bottle at 3:40am, twenty minutes before I am normally up to nurse her. It's the only time of day she'll nurse. So I missed my only chance to hold/cuddle my DD before I go to work. I haven't been pumping well all day and I'm blaming that.
My min pin is an ass. He has peed by the back door everyday several times a day for a week. He was previously house trained for 6m. It's a tiled room but pee flows under the threshold which now has been pulled up. My house smells like the pool which can't be good. I have used one whole bottle of bleach this week! The kennel will be his new home til he can get it together.
Thanks to LO and me getting super sick, I missed 6 days of work. I had some sick/vacation time, but I turned in my time card today with 17 unpaid hours on there. Totally sucks.
We had a party yesterday with a lot of people. Everyone wanted to see DS of course, and that was fine, but I get anxious about a lot of people handling him. DH's aunt was holding him and just handed him off to her 10 y/o daughter. He was falling backwards when I saw it and grabbed him and said no way, you can only hold him if you're sitting down and I'm sitting next to you. It really upset me that she thought it would be OK to hand over a baby with zero balance off to a child who had no idea how to properly hold him. Especially because just a few weeks ago we were visiting and I told them all the rules for being able to hold DS, which included while sitting and with my supervision and permission. It still makes my blood boil when I think about my baby leaning back and almost falling to the floor. He's the most precious thing in the world that I have, and he was treated so carelessly!
I've also discovered that I get a little ragey when I let someone hold my son and they think it's ok to hand him off to someone else. If I don't know about it and approve of it, don't just hand my baby around like a hot potato. Not cool.
It irks me when people want to hold her, and then when they have her all they do is play on their phones/don't pay attention to her at all. She's all cockeyed and crooked and they don't even notice, so she cries, then it's all "looks like she's hungry mom!"
Got home and wanted to strangle DH. I exclusively pump now because we have to supplement with half formula. Little girl just wasn't getting enough calories. I opened the fridge to putin what I had pumped at work today and he apprently thought it was smart to pre-mix the formula and breast milk together in my puming bottles. Like a good 5 feedings worth! And it sure as shit wasn't mixed equally like its supposed to be. Gaaah!!
