Things I cannot say out loud....

[Cupkake.Luver]

God,

I don't ask for much. But can you please give me the strength I need?

Dear old ladies in my building -
MUST you do your laundry so inefficiently? Some of us have babies to take care of that need diapers washed, I can't be waiting about in the laundry room all day like you can! For the love of Pele, PLEASE - when your things are finished in the washing machines, take all of them out into your basket, then take the basket out with you to hang it up. Don't wander back and forth with one piece of wet washing each trip, leaving the rest of it in the machine whilst I stand there with my dirty laundry! I've got a short window of time while my baby is sleeping and my husband is home to get laundry done, not ALL FREAKING DAY like you can.

Dear old man in my building -
I'll clean out the lint traps, just GET YOUR THINGS OUT OF THE DRYER or I swear by Haumea I'll blow my top! I've already wasted time waiting for other people, I don't have patience for you, too!

I just want to get my washing done...

Before I got my house, I just simply took peoples laundry out of the washer and or dryer and piled them in open baskets or on top of the shelves over the dryer/washers. Got into a huge blow out fight with one lady b/c she wanted ALL 7 of the washers and all 7 of the dryers for her self on my one day off. Nearly had to have the cops called on that one.

Sophie, sweetie - I love you but I need you to to let me put you down. You've nursed constantly for the past three hours and were up every hour and a half last night. Now you wont settle in your cot. My gran and some other random relatives have decided to dump themselves on me in about twenty minutes and I need you to go down. This growth spurt is a *******. love you though.

Hehe Rosie eats fire wood too!! And just stares at me and chews while I'm wondering if I really saw her just put I in her mouth (pieces that have broken off)
Ugh. I'm in the middle of nowhere and off the power grid. Our generator isn't enough to run my 1yr old front loader washer and dryer. I just get to look at them. Have to pack all the laundry up and go to town to the laundry mat if I hope to get any done. I somehow manage every 2 weeks. My kid has that many clothes!

 

[Natsku]

Maria chews on the whole stick

I couldn't imagine not having my own washing machine, I hated having to use the shared machines at uni (although I did like going for a laundry drink at the pub next to the laundry room hehe)

 

[Lettuce]

I'd only be happy without a washing machine if this happened when I went to the laundrette.....

MIL ... there is no way your son and grandaughter were speaking in complete sentences before the age of one... Your granddaughter did not great other kids on the playground by saying 'hi, my name is X'... your son did not point at his swim instructor and say 'thats the woman who tried to drown me'
I'm sorry, they just didn't! Maybe when they were 3!!!

I worry about your concept of reality if you keep insisting on that stuff. But it does explain why you thought my son was ready to talk at 4 weeks old...

To the cute Japanese couple at the restaurant tonight -
I'm sorry that when I said "say Konnichiwa!" my baby pouted at you then burst out crying. It wasn't you, she was very very tired and wanted her bed! Thank you for coming and saying hello and how "kawaii" (cute) she is

 

[Joda]

Bubba, I love you sooo much and I love sleepy cuddles! But why can't you stay asleep when I lay you down when your napping!? I do love the sleepy cuddles but having to sit still while you nap on me anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours is a getting a bit much! Mummy would like to shower or eat when your asleep for once

 

[Lettuce]

MIL, please don't cut up my daughters muslin squares!! WTF would you do that? Fecking idiot, you didn't even hem them, so now there are loose threads everywhere. These are a choking hazard. Fanny. Raging.

Lettuce your MIL is a moron

Ex waste of space: I've said it before and I'll say it again. You don't deserve to be a father you pathetic moron. You can't even take care of yourself!

Self: Stop feeling so physically ill about all this past coming up. It's good for you to face what happened instead of blocking it out. He could have seriously hurt you, you know that. You got out at the right time. Don't feel guilty for your silly friend getting together with him. She's out now. The main priority is her child now and she's doing the right thing.

DH: I love you so so so much. We may fight and I know I threatened to leave the other day and I'm sorry for that (did open your eyes though ). I'm glad you're the father of my son and I can't wait for us to have another child so our little family can be complete.

Wee man: I'm sorry I yell sometimes. I really do love you and I'm just frustrated I can't take away the owwies of teething and help you be able to move on your own. You're just too little to be moving yet You'll get there. You're like mommy, wanting to run before you can walk

 

[Lettuce]

I agree.

Awww, does Alex try to escape your arms now? Jenny does, it's quite funny.
Glad your pal got out!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Me too, except asshole is now trying to put all this pressure on her and she's still pregnant. If he cared, he wouldn't be doing this to his child

YES!!!! He tries to run away I wasn't ready for this so soon!

MIL - I have no problem with you coming round this pm. But be warned. Pud is supremely grumpy and has been since thursday. She is teething and still unhappy after her injections on wed. Please do not sit on the sofa crying because she is unhappy like you did last time, or you can go and cry at home.

Pud - I'm assuming its because your teeth hurt that you are refusing to nap more than 45mins, or take more than 4oz at a time. I know it's sore sweeteie, but please start drinking more so Mummy can stop worrying.

House - why do you need hoovering so much?? And where the feck have the cleaning fairies gone??

 

[Lauki]

MIL - No Sophie doesn't NEED different tastes than milk. I've decided to wait till Christmas to wean her. That also includes water/juice/teething biscuits. I on't know if you've noticed, but she's thiving on my breastmilk and there's no reason to give her anything else. Just because she likes the taste of Infacol doesn't mean she has to drink juice.

I wish I wasn't such a wimp and could say this out loud .

 

[sweetpea8]

Dear oh,
sorry I threw your wedding ring out the patio door but you drive me so mad sometimes! (I'm more sorry it took me an how to find the bloody thing, was convinced a magpie had stolen it!)
while you have spent all morning at the gym I have stayed in bed cuddling our beautiful girl, didn't I get the better deal!
Your beard looks good but I hate the feel of it!
You did the most amazing dinner last night but wont go on about it too much as your big headed enough!
Love you really and thank you for giving me the most beautiful thing in my life xxx

OMG! The taxi driver/friend of ours last night kept saying to put rusks in Alex's bottle and since she had a 26 year old son (who still lives with her, by the way) she knew best about parenting! RAGING!

To no one in particular: I don't feel like I'm coping. I know things could be so much worse and that Rory isn't any more difficult than other babies and that I'm really lucky but I just feel like such a terrible mother. I know I should be doing so much more for him but I don't know what I should be doing. If I didn't have my OH I'm sure I'd be a total mess right now, I honestly don't know how single mothers do it. I feel so down and stressed out and don't even know why. OH keeps saying I should be happy as I have LO and I know that he is right. I feel like I don't love LO enough. I don't understand this as LO is all I have ever wanted.

To my stupid body: I'm sorry my kidneys are a mess, I really am, there's nothing I can do to change that now, but please please stop making me poorly and exhausted. I've been non stop sick since I was 15 and don't remember not being exhausted. I can't cope with the never-ending illness and a baby, it's just not fair.

To my OH: If you spend one more night snoring and keeping me awake I'll take my ear plugs out and shove them up your nose!

Stupid ass! I know, they just want to explore, but it seems they're not babies for long...

How bizarre... My MIL cried at Jens injections...
Hope pud feels better soon, it must be horrible. And if you find those darn fairies, send em my way please!

Why why why are people OBSESSED with weaning your baby?!!! It's really weird! It's so much easier to just breastfeed them, why would you want to hurry weaning? I just don't get it! (obv barring medical needs) they've started on me now too! Piss off everyone! I want to BLW, so delaying it til Jennifer is ready. Off to buy a highchair today.

Oh Hun you're hormones are all over the place, you're tired and it's a big shock, even if it is all you've ever wanted. be kind to yourself. Everything you feel is valid and normal. xx
