Congrats fergie!! Fingers crossed that everything goes well. Some things are just meant to be!
OH- You really need to start taking my side over your mums! Yes, my mum and I have done all the organising and arranging for LOs christening this weekend, but thats because when we tried to include your mum, she said she'd phone this sat. The day before the christening!! We've had the food planned for weeks, and the majority of it bought already. Not my fault she can't be bothered!
MIL- I read my OH's texts from you. You went on and on about how BF is amazing. So don't you dare try and plant doubts in my OH's head about how "sometimes breast just isn't enough" I know you want my daughter to stay overnight, but, that isn't happening!! She's 11 weeks old!!
And as for telling him to put his foot down with me about leaving her!! No fucking way!! She hates bottles. I'm prepared to let OH try, when I'm in the house, but there is no way I will allow him to take her to your house, 2 hours away, and leave her for two nights! Your idea that "if shes hungry she'll take it!" absolutely disgusts me! There is no way on earth I will allow my daughter to be so hungry she'll take a bottle, when she hates them so much! Just face it, I'm BF my baby, you can't have her!
Telling him that it's time for opulent conditioning doesn't help matters. He's the sort of bloke to just listen to what his mum tells him instead of doing research, we both know that. So telling him that we need to bath her, feed her, and then put her in her cot in a dark room, on her own, and that she'll be ok to cry, that it isn't going to hurt her, is not ok!! She is 11 weeks old!! But because you've told him that, he doesn't believe me when I say that she crys because she needs something, even if that is just a cuddle! Instead, he thinks I'm being too soft. Apparently picking her up when she cries is making her spoilt. Well, fuck you! She has been in our bed every night since birth, I am not prepared to let her suddenly go into a cot on her own and let her cry!
OH and MIL- Its me who spends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with LO. I haven't been away from her longer than an hour total! So please do not try to tell me how to parent her. I know what she needs, and I'm starting to tell the difference between her cries. So when I tell you what's wrong, please listen to me!! I'm not "being controlling" I'm doing what I can to stop her crying as quickly as possible! Just accept that some babies need more cuddles than others. As far as I'm concerned, if Evie is crying and needs to be cuddled and held, then housework can wait!
