Omg. My LO is a horrible sleeper. He was finally yawning at 8pm so I'm like bedtime before 9pm, yay! Ummm, until my INLAWS stop by, unannounced, at 8:50PM. Who visits to play and such at 9pm with an infant?!?!?! Rage mode. Well, after getting him all worked up and the dog barking and running all over....guess who gets to deal with LO when he's overtired and horrible?! Me!!! That's who! Why!!? And my DH won't ever say anything to them.

That sounds like my MIL. She stopped by yesterday right at nap time. I just said "tell nana goodnight" and took the kids upstairs. She took the hint and left.

No nap at all yesterday at the sitter. She has taken on way more kids since its summer and pretty sure she's spread too thin to spend the time needed with the little ones (She has 5 under 2 plus a shit ton other kids). So he's a hot mess when I pick him up. Passes out on me at 6:30 and sleeps til 10:15. Is then up til 12:30, co sleep to get him back down, in crib at 2:30, back up 3:30 to 4:15 cuz he's STARVING as he had no real dinner, just some breast milk when he woke at 10:15, back down til 6 when I let him cry back to sleep so I can stay in bed til 6:30 at which time I have to get up and pump and start getting ready for work. He's in the bathroom trying to nosedive into the shower, eat my hairbrush or climb my legs once I get out of the shower.

Am getting on the waiting list at the day care near us and hoping to be in by September because my once awesome sitter is no longer doing her job. Oh! And she keeps her Pekingese in the garage 24/7 because she wont let dogs in her house. Why have one then?? He never goes outside and never goes inside. Not cool. My DH won't let me take him

Phew, vent over. That was nice. Thanks!!

@LoveLee85 Go.To.Sleep. Seriously, let your husband deal with it. Then he might say something. Give DH and ultimatum, "either I put LO to bed now or you can put him to bed later". Make him deal with the consequences of his choices for once.

My vent is that we got our new sod today (yay) but apparently they need me here. I had planned to take the kids to my moms. Fortunately, she was nice enough to come and get DS1 but me and DS2 had to hang out all day here instead of at Grammys

vibarra27 · July 2016

@ElleMF728 is right. Not to sound like a bitch. But take control of the situation.
He doesnt struggle, you do so guess what? You speak up, "Im sorry but LO had a long day, come tomorrow in the morning okay, good night." (of course nicer if u want to.)Take your son & walk out. Enough is enough ive read so many posts where your struggling with sleep & i cant even imagine myself without sleep for so long & i have 2, 10 month olds & a 5 year old. I hope things start looking up for you!

My vent, DH has been Mr. Grumpy Gills(thats my nickname for him) lately for like a week. He'll get home pissy, go to sleep pissy, were @ a party & hes pissy, he leaves for work pissy. Ugh! & then when i ask, "whats that look & attitude for?" he says "nothing." ugh like what can u be so mad about. You get to live another day, you have a healthy family, you have a home, a job, food, like what is so damn miserable in your life lately. ?Grr.

men!

Crazy in laws ya'll! I feel for you @LoveLee85

My MIL is actually great and super considerate. Her sister on the other hand tends to get on my nerves with her comments about my and my daughter's size (she's too big for you!---because I'm 5'2"---like I know I'm short. Get over it. She says it literally every single time I see her.)

Today I put moccasins on my daughter for the first time. "Oh, I love those! I bought many of them for my youngest daughter." All fine...but then, "of course she was actually using them to walk. She was walking at that age".

My daughter has only just started crawling at 10.5 months. She's a little late I get that. Way to make yourself feel grand about how advanced your kids were at my 10 month old's expense...

mrsmctaggart6 · July 2016

I feel you on the sleep/nap schedule, I'm watching my friends little girl and the magic time to get both of them to nap is between 10:30 and 11' my mom wants to come visit, she knows what time nap time is, she's always like an hour late and has me try to keep them up until she gets here (if anyone comes up the drive way the dogs lose it and nap is over and I have two very cranky babies to deal with) she was running late again today and I told her she would just have to wait till they woke up, who expects babies to work around their schedule! Ugh

missliz53 · July 2016

My vent is my brother. First I have to ask Facebook to take down a profile picture woth DD in it, be ause I'm a helicopter parent and a control freak.

And now I'm manipulative because I won't drive DD to his house on a weeknight so he and his girlfriend can have a playdate with her. And I'm unreasonable for wanting them to come to our house instead. Even though he lives 40 mn away without any traffic and she goes to bed at 7:30pm. And he's the one who wants the damn playdate in the first place. (This is all him, his girlfriend is a really lovely person).

acciomebaby · July 2016

@LoveLee85 That was incredibly rude of them to just come by unannounced, I don't blame you for being annoyed. If your husband won't address it with them, why don't you? I'd have to nip that in the bud real quick.

Who visits a baby at 9pm??? Freaking crazy people.

My rant is really odd, just to prepare you. So my DH is in the military and he works odd hours. He wanted to do a show over the summer (we've both done theatre since we were teens), and he got a lead in our local production but rehearsals are in the evenings and his schedule meant missing some and waking up at 3am after others. So he told his commander that I'm away working in Germany over the summer (long story, possible job I was offered) so he has to work single parent hours to watch our son. He did this without telling me. So I've had to pretend to be out of the country for weeks and not able to hang out with anyone and lie about it when I'm back to "visit" and run into anyone in town. I hate lying, and also they must all think I'm a horrible mother to just go galavanting around Europe with a 9 month old at home! Just such a stupid stupid idea and I can't believe he actually did it. Ugh, I finally "get home" this weekend. Thank God it's over

jen83mn · July 2016

Agree with other posters: DH's family - DH's problem! If he won't say anything to them, he gets to deal with the consequences while you go to bed. No questions!

Omg! I would be upset also! That's so crazy and frustrating!!

ABombard12 · July 2016

That moment you finally tip toe out of LOs room back into your bed get comfortable to go back to sleep since this is the second time you have had to get up. Your about to drift off when DH gets up out of bed to go to the bathroom half asleep and for some reason walks into the hallway (we have a master bath) and WALKS LOUDLY RIGHT INTO THE NURSERY!!

ABombard12 · July 2016

App wouldn't let me finish. Must be nice to be that deep in a sleep you are in a fog and can't remember where the bathroom is. Thank. You. I will be sleeping in the nursery chair now trying again. Thanks

BabyBugutsky · July 2016

My rant for the day: My mother asked my aunt, who I'm not very fond of, to look after my little guy when I go get my hair and nails and stuff done in a couple weeks. I'm not ok with it and I feel my mom way over stepped her boundaries. She is worried about the hair spray and the baby but he's been at a salon with me before. I do agree it would be a long day and probably not best for him so I was already changing my appointments. I'm just so annoyed she felt the need to ask people to babysit my child. Especially people I'm not comfortable with. If she would have talked to me first before talking to my aunt about it I likely wouldn't be so upset.

cait040415 · July 2016

That awesome moment when you spend 5 hours deep cleaning the house for the first time in an embarrassingly long time and DH comes home and trims his beard hairs in the clean bathroom sink and doesn't rinse them down, takes his dirty work clothes off right in front of the front door, and puts his dirty dishes in the sink instead of unloading the dishwasher (he finally did once I asked him to). Ugh. Men lol.
