Things I cannot say out loud....

[BabyBoo36]

Pud - please, please, please sleep today.

OH - thank you for doing the dream feed, but I think you missed the word "dream". It doesn't mean play with her! Thanks to that I have only had 4 hour sleep as once she's FINALLY settled at 12.30, she was awake again at 4.30am. Thank you. In know you were trying to help, but LISTEN TO ME!!!! I have told you A MILLION times about the dream feed. AAARRGGHH!!!

babyboo, it took my DH MONTHS to realize that changing a nappy at night does not mean putting on all the lights and talking to LO loudly.

Only YOU would have you wedding on Armistice Day (so you can say "Oh we got married on 11/11/11!) .. When someone casually mentioned this to you, you say "Oh we know, so we're having a poppy theme!" .. A poppy theme?? Not even British Legion poppies so money is raised or anything -giant red/purple things that you've made yourself! I'm sorry, but in mine and your brothers (and quite a few others) opinion, you are making a mockery of the day.

Also, you're getting married on a FRIDAY. In a town (and county) you've never even lived in, and have no connection to, purely because it's known as "expensive". You're having the civil ceremony, then a dinner, then expect everyone to come again 8 DAYS LATER for the reception at a social club TWO COUNTIES AWAY from the ceremony! What the hell?? You say it was fur money purposes, but if that's the case, why not do it the FOLLOWING DAY (Saturday) rather than the following WEEK?? People are travelling ridiculous amounts to go. What would take us 3 hours (each way), takes us 5 with a baby. We have to organise somewhere to stay both times as well, and pay a STUPID amount for fuel. Her routine will be screwed both times, and you don't even give a crap. She isn't well at all, it's not fair on her. Why can't we just go the ceremony weekend? We said we can't make the reception, but because you threw a wobbly we have to come. Even your parents have having to travel 3 hours each way, twice, to make you happy.

At least we're not being petty like you were at our wedding. Remember that? We said no young babies at the (church) ceremony as we were having it filmed for your Grandad who was too ill to attend, and as it was a long ceremony babies would naturally get restless and upset. 1) It's not fair on the babies, and 2) It's a small echoey church, it would've ruined the video for your Grandad, and there would've been no way not to disrupt due to the layout of the church. I said that all children are MORE welcome at any time after the ceremony, and we would provide food/drinks whatever for them. You left the church before we were even married, walked your baby around the reception like a trophy, were extremely rude to me, threw a strop as we wouldn't let you sing (DH and I sung a duet on request at the reception, but we didn't want it turning into a karaoke), refused to take a SINGLE picture (despite the fact DH asked you to take some candid shots with HIS camera, even though you call yourself a photographer and take pictures at every other event you've gone to - whether it be friends or family - but you said no, took DHs camera anyway, and gave it back late in the evening to say you hadn't taken a single picture), sat outside in the bar area all evening refusing to talk to us, apparnelty was slagging me off to one of my friends (from what she told me), then stormed off without saying goodbye. You also made a point of slagging off our wedding video a few months later when we came to visit, saying it was a "Pile of sh*t", and because of you we've never watched it.

Yet, DH is taking time off work, doing your bidding, coming down on a Friday, and coming down the following weekend, with a baby, and with a shortage of money. Aren't we the bigger people here?

Oh, and at least we paid for our own wedding, rather than sponging off both sets of parents and not even appreciating it!! You say "we have no money, we need it for this/that/the other for the wedding", but then go any buy yourself something stupidly expensive!!

And having to find TWO dresses, that I can breastfeed in, that DON'T hang off me like a sack, or make me look in my 30s? RAGH!

Id be ranting too, Jesus!

To my OH:

Can you please stop inadvertantly pointing out that youre tired because you are the one 'still working' when you work a 9-5, come home and sleep a full night with no night feeds except for the 6am wake up one so that 'i can sleep'. Okay maybe youre tired getting up earlier to do that ONE feed but youre not up 3 times a night, you dont fret over the angelcare monitor light not flashing for 1.6 seconds and you certainly dont hear one flipping cry or moan from LO in the middle of the night......nope...you sleep soundly for a good 8 hours. I havent slept 8 hrs since i was about 7 months pregnant, so if you dare to point out again that you have a job and i dont, its possible i may choke you out WWF style. When your job permits you only 3-4 hrs sleep at any one time, then you can compare what you do to what i do.

Also it really bloody well bugs me when you come home desperate for your dinner and talk about how hungry you are then make me wait and bounce baba around until you finish yours before i can have mine....when in fact youve had two coffee breaks where youve had the chance to drink it hot, pick your nose and possibly scatch your arse in peace, THEN youve managed to score an hours lunch where you can eat the meal in entirely one sitting,.......and the whole day ive microwaved the same coffee, squeezed in 2 seconds to take a wee, and realised at 530 when u walk in the door that i actually havent eaten anything all day or had a nap and you have the cheek to say YOURE tired and YOURE hungry. And the icing on the cake? Im stinking, sweaty, greasy haired and tired and you give me that winky faced look at bedtime. Are you kidding?
and if you think i want to do that with watching....think again.

Newborns are a joy arent they?

It was no wonder I went back to a size 6 so quickly!

Sophie - Unlatching ever 4 seconds while feeding to check what's going on around you is getting old , especially if you throw a hissy fit 2 second later because you're not getting any milk

 

[BabyBoo36]

babyboo, it took my DH MONTHS to realize that changing a nappy at night does not mean putting on all the lights and talking to LO loudly.

He did this first - light on while I was changing her nappy. He got hissed at to turn it off. Then he said "I'll feed her"....tiredness got the better of me, so I said "Yes please." So he starts singing "The wheels on the bus" to her.....he got hissed at again. So he winds her like she's on a bouncy castle. Sigh. 30 minutes later she's still bouncing round the moses basket like tazmanian devil, and he's asleep.

As the Queen would say.....one was not amused.

 

[Amber4]

Nan - Uhh, for christ sake EVERYTIME you come round I don't wanna hear you complain about my dog! He's does not need to be kept "under control" all he does is come over for a stroke. He does not need to stay in his bed 24/7! Also EVERYTIME you come round please shut up about how I should be dressed. Why bother wearing clothes I've washed and ironed for the sake of staying in? The records really getting old and my patience is wearing thin. If you wanna call anyone lazy it should be yourself. Ringing my Dad to come all the way to yours, just to change some batteries in your bloody TV remote!

OH - I honestly don't give a crap about MW3. I do give a crap that you wanna spend more of our money, after only buying a new bloody game a few days ago!

Sorry it's not baby related, but my god it feels good to get it out!

 

[Lettuce]

Oh it doesn't have to be baby related, don't worry! My oh wants MW3 too...

DH... I hope you work at your mums from now on. I've had a great day! it's not easy, but I feel I can get more done.

Oh my gosh!
I could say the same thing to my DD!

 

[MissFox]

Well ladies... Rosie is almost 7 months and guess what happened last night? DH came to bed and Rosie woke up since she went down so early. I go to feed her then straight back to bed as usual but HE TICKELS HER FEET!! PLAYS WITH HR WHILE SHE IS EATING. I almost hurt him. Thn he failed at putting her to sleep so we co slept. But seriously!!! She was ready to play and he always does this!

Silly babies !!

Sometimes I wish I could reason with her! But I'm sure by the time she can talk back to me I'm actually longing to the days she couln't talk yet !

Maria: Please stop taking the lid off the ash bucket, I do not want to clean up that mess.

 

[StarlitHome]

MIL - MollyBoo is, yes, only 2 months (9 weeks 6 days) old. This does not mean that when she wants to practice standing while you are holding her, that she is going to start walking soon. It means she likes to stand up and exercise those muscles, so just let her. She absolutely loves it and it's not going to harm her.
Also, when I say she's tired and wanting her bedtime routine, that does not mean you say "Oh let's try this" and walk around with her, that means we need to head home. Sorry, but MollyBoo knows that her bedtime routine starts at 8pm and that's what she wants.

BIL and SIL - yes I know the new episode of "Walking Dead" is only on on Sunday nights but seriously?? You see your brother and me and your (only) niece once a week. And for the past 3 weeks you've both been sat in front of a zombie show instead of visiting. Cheers for that, how nice. I can't even stay in the same room when there are zombies involved and even if I could, I wouldn't keep Molly in, she doesn't need that in her subconscious. So, thanks very much for relegating me and my baby to the bedroom by ourselves for most of the evening...

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Starlit I don't think Boo is subconsciously going to be traumatized by The Walking Dead Alex watched Clash of the Titans and was mesmerized by the Cracken.

 

[lisaf]

starlit - why are they so eager for them to do the next thing? My MIL has been saying he'll be walking and talking any day now for MONTHS (though apparently hers were speaking in complete sentences before a year old, )

Dear OH
If the xbox wasn't mine I would have thrown it out of the window by now. Don't you dare ignore your son again while you're playing on it (while complaining how rubbish the game he's playing is) or I will sell it while you're at work. It's not like I ever get to play on it anyway.

Why do they do this? All they have to do is pause the friking game!

No no no no no no!! You've got it all wrong! You can't pause online gaming. Theses words are imprinted on my skull from asking FOB to do something & having that growled at me.

Cos...y'know...COD = much more important than LO, or us or the house or well anything really!

Yeah... I might bust up his game playing if he can't get off of it.

He doesn't even play online so I don't know why he doesn't pause it, he just carries on playing until I get up to sort LO out then says 'i said I'd do that'. Umm.. That means you actually have to do it and not wait until you've finished the level/fight. I was thinking about treating myself to xbox live but I don't think that's the best idea now.

Oh and you know gaming is my hobby, I don't want to look after LO all day then look after him all evening while watching you play on my game for 3 hours. Then you say to me 'why don't you play on it for a bit' umm...because teas ready in 5 minutes then I've got to go to bed so I can get up with LO all night.

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

FOB...take the freaking hint!! The answer is no! I am not being unreasonable, I am standing up for myself. & calling me an evil inhumane monster who doesn't deserve her child is not going to get you in the fucking hospital when he's born.

COME TO PEACE WITH IT & PISS OFF!!!
