Things I cannot say out loud....

My MIL gets a 12 hour dismissal from prison in April. Meaning I'm going to have to see her for 12 hours AND she gets to hang out with Xavier...

Kill me now.
 
I went to my training course today and Flynn went in the crèche for a couple of hours.
He loved it, I'm stupidly upset about it, he didn't miss me at all! He just gave me a big smile and a slobbery kiss when I went in to collect him, they said he'd not made a peep and just played happily the whole time!
He was quite wet when we got home tho, I forgot to tell them that he doesn't make a fuss when he needs changing you have to check. Surely they're supposed to check them tho? He was there two hours. I'll bring it up next week as I was a bit surprised as they had offered the option of either they change him or they come get me to change him (I'm right down the hall) but then they didn't?

Writing it did help thanks, I try not to think about it but every once in a while it sneaks up on me. Thanks tho. Xx
 
Pudding - it is nap time, not get on your hands and knees and shout "rar rar rar" time. You will be grumpy (or grumpier as you're teething again) when Daddy gets home if you don't nap.

DH - I know you got a huge shock on wed when I told you to shape up or move out, but it takes more than a few tears, some "sorry's" and a few days of you actually getting off your arse before I believe you. We've been here before and after a few days, you slack off again. I'm not sleeping with you until you prove you're doing more. And seriously, you are becoming a sex pest. You need to get it sorted.
 
MIL - can you possibly come up with more to say to Molly than "you're such a pretty girl" over and over? I know she's very pretty and sweet but she's also very smart, and strong...
Also, it makes me grit my teeth and feel like you think I'm "playing house" when you pat my hand and say "Good job taking care of Molly". I know you don't even know but it does.
And seriously, she doesn't need you in her face every.single.second we are at your house, talking loudly! She doesn't need "constant stimulation", that leads to OVER-stimulation which leads to a grouchy baby who wants no one but her mama...
I know you just love her and want to see her and play with her, but you need to start reading the cues here - watch how TM and I interact with Molly, and how she reacts to that! That's how you want her to react with you (smiling, happy, "talking") but she won't when you're doing the opposite of what we do.
 
Aaaaaarrrrghhhhh! Mum, seriously, if you say one more time about the fact that jennys clothes are not ironed I will scream in your face! I don't have time to bloody iron baby clothes!!! Any spare time I have with the non sleeping child is spent keeping the house clean enough to avoid the worse of diseases. And I'm still not happy with it.
 
Tell her to come over and do it if it bothers her so much, Lettuce :haha: Ironing baby clothes geeeeez! :dohh:
 
Lettuce... My mom is exactly the same. I agree with Ozzie. Tell her to iron them if it bothers her so damn much!
 
I iron Sophies clothes once every 3 months :rofl:.
Or I go over and visit my dad, he even irons her socks!
 
Thanks girls, I mean she's only going to crawl round in them anyway.

I'm so fed up of cleaning up after oh. Totally have the rage tonight. Told him I was fed up, wanted him to leave. I know its irrational. But I'm just sick of it all. :(
 
I do not own an iron. Just throwing that out there. :haha:

Aunty L - you have no idea how much I didn't want to do lunch with you today. We've not had lunch with you in about 3 weeks because of one of us being sick or Molly's teething and it was SO NICE. I hope you appreciate our efforts to give you a social life outside of your TV schedule.
Also, for the love of all the gods, TM is a grown man and he can make his own food choices. If he orders soup and salad, then that is what he wants to eat. If you offer some of your food and he says "No" then he means no.
This is what I really cannot say aloud to her:
TM is having health issues - he's seeing the doctor and a neurologist about them and has had multiple blood tests and an MRI (it came back clear of anything). He's eating this way (lots of raw veggies, some meat/protein, very very few carbs) because it helps with his symptoms. So STOP OFFERING HIM FRIES/ROLLS/BREAD/DESSERT.
And we aren't going to tell you because you'll just get all up in his business about it and it is NONE OF your business so yeah.
But I want to just strangle you when you push your plate of fries over to him and say "eat some, eat some" because he'd love some, really. But if he eats them, he'll be hurting later. So stop. Please stop.
 
I don't even iron my clothes, let alone baby clothes!

Also, well done Maria for managing all night without booby (can't say this outloud cos she's still asleep!)
 
She did wake up 3 times though but the first two times she just cried out and went back to sleep, it was the early morning wake up that was hard. But she knows I mean business when we move her cot into the other room!
 
Good stuff! Did you offer water instead? Or just settle without boobie? I wonder if this will sort out her sleeping. I hope so! :)
 
Glad someone's getting some sleep..... :evil:
Flynns been awake about 7 or 8 times a night for the last few days, properly wide awake screming his head off. All but about 2 of those I have had to settle him as dh was downstairs, he'd fallen asleep with his headphones on, any number of stupid excuses.
I swear to god if he says "can you settle him just this once" again I'm gonna stab him in the cock with a fork!!

Flynn, why do you spend all night awake then sleep when it's time to get up? It's not on you know! Although you can be forgiven a little since I actually managed to have a shower today lol
 
I offered water but she didn't want it (though that might be cos I offered it in her sippy cup instead of a bottle) then I tried to settle her for about half an hour, wasn't working so moved her into the lounge and shut the door - two minutes of protest and then she was asleep!
 
Nothing worked for me last night. I tried everything! He still wouldn't sleep. :sleep: I'm so knackered and irritable. DH is having fillings done today under IV sedation and tomorrow we have my visa renewal appointment. If he doesn't sleep tonight, I think I'm going to die :cry:
