Things I cannot say out loud....

[Geek]

Eeeeeeeeew Geek!!!!!

I know right. We've got a little bowl that we just use for that, I think he just couldn't be bothered to look for it.

Dear left hand - please get better at typing, it takes me forever to write anything or spell anything right when LO insists on sleeping. On my right arm.

 

[LadyRoy]

Dear OH seriously STOP Fkin snoring. I know you have a bad throat but we are in a hotel and I have no escape! I am seeing my parents tomorrow for the first time in 4 months and it is going to be ruined cause I will be too tired to care. I can remove your tonsils with the babies spoon you know!

Dear Mom...I love you to bits, but please stop trying to undermine me breastfeeding my baby! I know that when I was a baby everyone told you to give me formula top offs, but that doesn't mean it is still the best thing almost 25 years later! When Cullen was fussy you kept pushing that I give him some formula to "fill him up better". So finally I did, even though it wasn't what I really wanted. And guess what? It didn't help at all, as he was fussy because of acid reflux and NOT because I can't feed him well enough on my own!!

Also, STOP asking me when he is going to start having cereal, he is only 2.5 months old. I was honest with you about not planning to give much food until he is close to a year old, and your response was that he is growing and will probably need some cereal before then. He is growing just fine without it!!!!

To OH - yes I'm "a little short" with you - because after all your promises, you've gone back to doing naff all. You made a big fuss last night that you made tea. Well guess what? Yesterday I looked after Pud all day, ironed, hoovered, washed the kitchen floor, did 2 lots of washing, made, washed and steralised all her bottles, did all the feeds, did the tea dishes....... Don't expect a medal off me because you put some potato wedges and a couple of gammon steaks in the oven.

I. Am. Tired. I haven't had an early night or lie in for 18 weeks. Even when I went to bed at 10pm last night, I still had to get up again at 11.30 to do her last feed, as you'd conveniently "fallen asleep." Enough is enough. I am not asking you to do more, as I've asked too many times already. You can get the bus home tonight - I'm not coming for you. By being such a lazy t**t, you forfeit your right to do the "nice" things with her. So you're not going in the pool with her for her last Water Babies lesson - the one where you're on annual leave. I am. I've done all the others, so I'm doing that one. You can find your own way to your works party Thursday - bus, taxi, I don't care. I'm not putting myself out for you anymore, if you can't be bothered helping.

You never listen. Ever. Your decision to be such a lazy father has more consequences than you realise. I was already nervous of trying for another baby in the future due to Pud's SB - now there is no way I'm having another, for you to leave everything up to me again.

Sorry girls, I'm just so fecking tired..........

It was really nice to you mom to take LO trick or treating last night...but I didn't get to push the stroller once. It was his first halloween. I feel like I miss out on all the firsts now.
Either I'm fucking working 55 hours a week and miss EVERYTHING new he does. Or someone else is enjoying his firsts.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, am I getting my period?!

 

[marina294]

Mil how the hell do you manage to get through both sets of clothes EVERY time you have LO for a few hours oh yea you keep giving her nappy free time even though I know she likes but I tell you she tends to wee as soon as the nappy comes off meaning I come back to a baby without a vest and a bag full of pissy poopy clothes! She has nappy free time at home! Also how the hell are u dressing her she used to love getting changed now she screams blue murder when something goes over her head or her arms. Grrr

babyboo, *slap* babyboo's oh's chops!

Babyboo.. Your OH needs a kick up the arse! *hugs*

DH: You finish work at 5pm. I let it slide when you stay an extra hour (or two) despite the 40-minute drive home, when you "have stuff to catch up on". But staying until ten to midnight?? It's fucking diabolical. Especially as you're leaving at 6am tomorrow to buggar off to Bristol with work until late Thursday night, and I've got to take LO up to the hospital on my own tomorrow. If she has to have tests, I could be there all day on my own. How am I supposed to even eat, or go to the loo? They're so damned understaffed I doubt I can beg someone to watch her for 5 minutes (and would I even trust them??) And suppose she screams like she did ALL day today, and refused to nap for 9 HOURS? I nearly snapped. I honestly thought, for a fleeting second, that I was going to hurt her. Then I felt sick for even thinking it.

The house is upside down, despite me begging you for help. You were going to help me tonight so it was at least liveable before you went away, in case I invited a friend over for company.. But look a the time!! Instead, when I finally got LO down for the night (after one HELL of a day), I had to sort 3 loads of washing that you haven't even lifted a finger to help with, empty the tumble dryer, empty the washing into the tumble dryer, load/unload dishwasher, spend ages tidying the living room and kitchen, wash and sterilise pump/bottles/dummies/syringes etc, have some soup for dinner at 10.30pm, express more milk, feed the cat, sort LOs bits for tomorrow etc.. And I've still got to put the clean washing away (which I always ask you to help me with but you just leave it int he bedroom untouched), clean the kitchen, hoover, clean the bathroom, wash a load of our clothes.. I dread to think what else. I'm exhausted. I love our LO so much, but to day was too much for me. Nothing worked. I'm scared.

You're still expecting me to leave LO with someone so I can come to your works Christmas Party for 4-6 hours, aren't you? Do you REALLY think I want to celebrate with your WORK right now? You spend so much fucking time there, you may as well divorce me and go and live there. It is going to be the end of us if it doesn't stop. You always promise it will, and it does for a bit.. Then it slowly creeps back, staying an hour later each time..

To my neighbour- you really are an inconsiderate prick! Thank you very much for waking Ryan up! Twice!! I've finally managed to get him back to bed after nearly an hour of him being wide awake & wanting to crawl around his cot. Now I have to calm down enough to get some sleep before he wakes for the day at half 5

To my oh- I wish I could get up, go to work, come home, sit on the sofa then go to bed! Instead I have to do virtually everything with Ryan, keep on top of the housework and go to work. I'm tired of it all, it wouldn't be so bad if I thought you even cared but I get moaned at for asking you to put down not to work next weekend so we can spend time together! Well I'm not wasting my energy anymore, you can stick your weekend up your arse

Babyboo.. Your OH needs a kick up the arse! *hugs*

I've tried, Vixiepoo - several times. He gets better for a few days, then it slides again. Last night he promised to do the late feed - nice offer, except he didn't do it. "Oh, I'll be up in a minute, I just want to watch this". Yes well a 4 month old won't wait 45 minutes just because you think the News is more important than her. So I did the feed at 11.30pm, and she was up again at 5am. Guess who did that feed too.....?

This morning he's said to me "I want you to relax tonight. I'll do the night feeds and I'll do tomorrow mornings feed" (he's off work). Quite frankly, I'll believe that when I see it.

And to top it off, she has her jabs today, so she'll probably not settle for him anyway. Sigh.

Sounds like you need hugs too.
Hope LO's tests go ok. Thinking of you, I've been there xxxxx

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

To the weather... Please be nice today...or at the least windy & not raining. I really need to get this stuff dried else my LO will have no bed & no pram when he arrives!

 

[cowboys angel]

crazy lady next door:

I DON'T LIKE YOU! I know my husband talks to you, even though he doesn't trust you either. I know I am civil to you in front of my kids. Doesn't mean I like you! Or want you around! Just because my baby is crying at 8pm does NOT mean you have the right to come over and knock (we live in an apt building) and when I open the door have you push right in and say you will take her and have her asleep in 5 minutes.

I DON'T WANT HER ASLEEP AT 8PM! Her bedtime is 9-10pm, not that I should need to explain ANYTHING to you! It's not any of your goddamn business! And I didn't ask for your fucking help!

And then you bring out a pumpkin and start gutting it in front of our door and knock again and when I open the door hold out pumpkin guts to my kid. Yes you are right, she'd probably like it, but I am trying to get her settled! And again, who the FUCK are you to offer my kid ANYTHING?? We were over this with SD, what makes you think LO is any different?? They are MY kids, NOT YOURS!

How many times do you and I have to have fights and arguements to get you to LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE??

Yes I like you son. I talk to your son. I hang out with your son occasionally. Doesn't mean I like YOU!

GO THE FUCK AWAY!

 

[Lauki]

She sounds.. Odd...
I love your new avatar and signature! The Eeyore costume is the best ever!

 

[MizzDeeDee]

Wow Katie. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that breed of crazy in your life.

Does she have a lot of cats? For some reason my mind conjured up the image of her looking like the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons.

I don't care if you think I am being unreasonable. I have my own needs and limitations, just because yours are different doesn't make me wrong!

Not sure what the context is.. but it doesn't really matter.. I agree 110%. Everyone has different needs and limitations, just because someone doesn't understand that doesn't mean that it's invalid.
