I saw this thread on a few other BMB's where they b!tched about family. Looked very popular and a good place to vent especially with the holidays here.

    H is getting on my nerves. He thinks I just have all the time in the world to do things around the house. I explain to him that LO will only let me put her down for max 10 mins and he knows she doesn't nap. Then he says I'm spoiling her and I explain you can't spoil a newborn. The one and only reason I would want to go back to work is so he can see how it is since he'll have her during the day. My luck though she'll be on a nap schedule by then and it'll be nice and easy for him.

    @Ladybug2821 It's a whole new world when they realize how hard it is to take care of a baby all day! Perhaps you could take a day to do some shopping, or run some errands for several hours while he watches LO? It might give him some perspective.

    I've always considered our friends to be more of our family than our actual family, especially during the holidays, and it couldn't be more true again this year. My mom recently sent a passive aggressive text to my siblings and I telling us she was cooking Christmas dinner and that she expected all of us to be present... She never once asked any of us if we would be in town, etc. So obviously, that didn't fly so well with my sister and I, so I had my sister call her and explain that none of us would be present this year bc we all had plans with our own families.. Of course my mom handled the news poorly and now she gets to be the victim and she's thrown an absolute fit with all of us... My dad all of the sudden agrees with my mom (they're married, but estranged) and thinks we are all in the wrong.... So that's all frustrating... Then I talked to my dad yesterday who was asking to come over to see the kids tonight, and when I asked if he could watch the boys for about an hour so I could pick up a few extra Christmas gifts, he all of the sudden was t so sure he would be able to come over tonight. Then I texted him today to confirm and no response. I'm so dang frustrated.

    I should do that. The longest he's had her completely alone is probably an hour.

    I really can't bitch about my family, they really are pretty great. Of course sometimes we get on each other's nerves, but that just comes with being family. With everything that's been going on, and how close to the holidays it has been happening, they've truly been the best support system anybody could ask for. They always have been, but it is in the not-so-best-of-times thst they really shine. I consider myself a very fortunate woman, and FI feels the same way. He doesn't have much family and mine has adopted him and my SS as their own.

    This thread can def also be about the good family moments. I'm actually really excited because H's family is coming for Christmas. I can't wait for them to meet LO and hopefully get a night out with H alone.
