Things I cannot say out loud....

[xcharx]

MUM - no I will not put baby rice in Kiara bottle..youve been telling me to do this since she was 8 weeks old & I'm sick of telling you no!! You may have put baby rice in my sisters bottle from 7 weeks but she's your child & Kiara is mine!!
Just because she cries it does not mean she's hungry.. babies cry for many reasons! Stopped telling me what to do with my child or I will loose my temper with you.
If Kiara wants to fall asleep on me she can. She can fall asleep in her cot on her own but I enjoy cuddling her before she goes to bed.
Stop telling Kiara I'm "a bad mum". The reason babys aren't suppose to have food before 17 weeks has been researched & I'd rather not give her a bad stomach. My OH will be the first to feed her seeing as she is his daughter so shut up.
Yes Kiara has a dirty laugh but it does not mean she gets it from you!!
If OH is cuddling & trying to stop Kiara from crying DO NOT try & take her off him.. I'm sick of you butting in & acting like you know her best. Not only are you p*ssing me off your upsetting my OH!!



OH - our baby is not a "text book" baby.. if she wants a bottle before 4hours of having her last ill give it to her.
No she isn't "crying for no reason"..something is bothering her so yes I will hold her!!
Yesshe is chunky - get over it. She is healthy & happy, what more do you want??

MIL - she is your first grandchild, make the effort!!!! Your rich & you brought her some shitty sleep suits that are clearly for a boy when she was born & you don't make the effort to see her. I'm fed up of having to ring you to arrange for you to see her then you cancel on us.. is getting your hair done more important than Kiara??
Me & OH are in the middle of doing your old house up for us to live in..would be nice for you to take an interest!!!! Oh and if you don't come over by the end of the month & sort the garage out which is full of your crap I'm just going to bin it!! It's bin sitting there for 3 years - you clearlydont need it so let it go..



AND BREATH

Oh and to my OH yes I failed at BF. I don't need you putting me down about it all the time. Do you not think your daughter being sick with blood in it because my nipples were bleeding was bad?? Would like to see you breastfeed with cracked bleeding nipples

OH - Thank you for finally listening and understnding what I have been trying to tell you for god knows how long. You now know that I don't always need you to sort out every problem I have either with you or with me, I just needed a little understanding and compassion. You have agreed to work on your communication issues and your problems with expressing your negaative feelings instead of trying to hide them (badly) then wondering why I felt like you were hiding things from me and then understandingly jumping to the odd conclusion.



I would tell him this but today has been a long and eye opening day for him, especially as he was actually in work while we were having these conversations

I cut from 12 to 18...and only stopped cuz of being pregnant... Now, it just feels like it would be wrong to start again, and I really really don't want to...it's just a tough addiction to beat, and a tougher urge to overcome.

I just got on Paxil for a mood disorder postpartum. I can't even begin to comprehend what you must be going through...just the past six weeks for me were a nightmare. But 12-18 are such tough years to begin with. I applaud you for staying so strong and brave. Keep it up!!

I started at 11 and did it regularly until about 17 and less frequently until probably 23 or 24. Can't believe I've gone this long. It does get easier, but it is an addiction, and it can lift your mood. Honestly percription help isn't as bad as it seems, and you might want to try it (short term! You don;t need to plan on taking it for years, but can if it helps) just to get through this time since you're feeling the urge so much. Drug users have drugs to help them wean, smokers have help to help them wean, why not cutters? Or maybe try like smokers and snap a rubberband on your wrist when you think about it until you don't need to

I was on prozac from 12 to 16. It screwed with me pretty badly...

I promised hubby when we moved in together if I started cutting or restricting meals again, I'd go on meds...

I just hated the prozac...

I told DH just last night that I don't think I could cry now if someone shot my dog. I guess that's what Paxil does... But it beats panic attacks and endless crying jags. That was crap. Hopefully I can wean off by 6 months. That's my plan, anywho. I'm okay with my crazy the way it was pre-preggo.

TO - all my grandparents:
No no, there's no need for you to, you know, REPLY BACK when I send a lovely update email to you complete with photos of your great-grandchild! Absolutely not - there's NO REASON at all that you might POSSIBLY send a quick email to your granddaughter who lives thousands of miles away from you and hasn't seen you since May.
No reason at all.

Thanks... it's very frustrating, and hurtful. I feel forgotten... I know that my mom has the same problem (and two of them are HER PARENTS, plus she lives in the same area as they do) but still.
Not to mention, my daughter is the first great-grandchild for all of them!

 

[lisaf]

Ooh yes, I sent my dad some videos of Daniel and never heard a peep

Baby- you pretty much refuse to sleep at all during the day now, but you still sleep crappy at night so it's not like I'm getting full night sleep either way.

Why not be like one of the perfect babies on here that sleep from 7p.m. to 7 a.m so I can get you on a schedule?? I'm beginning to think those babies are imaginary.


My joints hurt and I had a flare last week. I'd just be happy with 5 hours at this point.... please baby please?

Sophie is like that. She's now decided to wake up every two hours on the dot! Like someone's set the alarm for her. She isn't hungry, just wakes up and whinges and cries for an hour. Then an hour later we're up again because she IS hungry and it goes on like that all night!!

Hope our babies give us sleep soon!

 

[Emmy1987]

My grandparents - why cant you text to see if it's appropriate for you to ring first?! Don't get arsey with me for not picking up, I had shit all over my hands! And then calling again 5 mins later cause I didn't return your call and waking Daisy up JUST as she'd got to sleep which woke her up! Then you try shouting over her down the phone when I really need to go and settle her!

She's finally content and asleep after 20 minutes of screaming.

Anyone know of a house phone that just vibrates?! It seems all old people refuse to call mobiles, but my house phone is LOUD and can only be turned off!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I would turn it off then

 

[stardust599]

Haha, my MIL and OH's grandparents insisted on ringing the housephone all day as late as 10pm to check on LO when she was first born - it was ridiculous like 2 or 3 times a day, I got so angry as it always used to wake us just as we'd drifted off and if we didn't answer they'd come to the door.

I prompty pulled the phone out the wall, shut the curtains and locked the door and that was that

xx

 

[Emmy1987]

I'll probably have to resort to that but they'll end up calling the rest of the family/the police thinking there's something wrong

Honestly.... family!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

In a way, I'm glad mine live in California. At the same time though, I do envy people who have their family closer. It's a double edged sword

 

[Lauki]

We can turn the volume of our phones down, so they ring so quietly that they're barely audible and don't wake babies up!!
