god Im so angry!! is this unreasonable!
oh's parents are idiots! I dont like them and although I know they wouldnt harm libby I hate leaving her with them.. so oh tells me on sunday mil has bought a 2nd hand pram as ours isnt "good enough" and her legs get cold. and then I walked in today and saw she had bough her a horrendous snow suit... she she is telling me that Im shit and dont dress my child appropriately? even though libby is a hot baby and hates being padded up??! and oh must have said something at the wknd (i think it had to do with resuing libbys milk) so mil is in a blatent huff and stayed upstairs when i dropped off/picked up libby and fil and sil barely said 2 words to me when i picked her up and definate tension. Then I picked my baby up and she was soaking, like tights, vest and skirt?? wft? she had just been sitting on fil's knee?? and she is not a heavy wetter and I dropped her off at 11?? Thats it she isnt going back, gonna cause problems with me and oh but I dont give a shit, if mil wants to be funny with me and take her childish huffs I dont want libby spending time with her!
raaaaaaaar!
THATS TERRIBLE!!! Bloody IN LAWS!!!! Good for you tho, don't let them have her if they are going to be pathetic.
My mother and mother in law are EXACTLY the same! the both drive me nuts. I'm so glad i live interstate and a 13hr drive away. Last time i saw my MIL
MIL "does she need socks"
ME "No she's ok"
MIL "Its probably going to get colder tho"
ME "Thats why the heater is on"
MIL "They look a bit cold"
ME "No they're fine"
Later that night
MIL "So when will Eva start having a proper bedtime"
Me "What do you mean she has one at 10pm"
MIL "i mean like a proper one, like 8:30 or so.. like a childs bed time"
Me "i dunno... when she goes to school?? i like her 10pm bed time if she goes to bed earlier she'll wake up earlier"
MIL "But she's growing so much more now you'll find she needs more sleep and will probably sleep till the normal time anyway even with going to bed earlier"
ME "Maybe"
MIL "I always like those two hours i got by myself at night its when i had time to myself and time to do the things i wanted to do"
Me "Alot of people say that but she sleeps all day so TBH i do all the housework and what i want then"
MIL "But you can spend that time by yourself"
Me "i know but she sleeps all day too so i don't really ever feel i need "ME" time"
Our conversations are like these treading on eggshell polite arguments
My mother is even WORSE!!!
I rang her the other day to wish my little sister happy birthday after i just put Eva down and she was having a bit of a sook but would of gone to sleep in 2 mins and my mother is like "stop being terrible go and pick her up" after i explained that if i pick her up she'll take 30mins of slow rocking to go down if i leave her its just 3mins of a short sook to which she replied "i don't care, the poor thing!! go and pick her up" UURRGGHH i had to hang up because everytime i tried to talk she would change the subject to picking up the baby. So i rang back later and mum just kept saying "i bet she's traumatized because you left her in her bed!" UURRGGHH!!!
My hubby is useless tho! He says "just put socks on her and shut her up" or "just tell her she has an 8:30 bedtime to shut her up" i DONT WANT TO THO!
I'm going to fly over and see them in JUNE and am by myself and am incredibly worried about MIL
