OH: Please stop saying about being tired... how about going to bed a bit earlier then 2, 3 in the morning? And when moaning about being tired, don't tell me 'Not to start!' when I ask how can you be tired!?
Mum: PLEASE stop calling everyday (parents live 2 hours away). We've had this discussion many, many times in the past, do you not remember those few months last year when all 3 of your daughters refused to talk to you? This one was of the reasons.
And please for the love of cheese, when I say 'I'm feeding LO, about to bathe LO, LO is screaming her head off etc. I can't talk right now' DON'T bang on about the neighbours cat or tell me something useless about someone I don't know!
If after a doctors appointment/getting LO weighed, I say I'll call you. I will. So don't start calling and leaving missed calls around the time of the appointment etc. then moan because you couldn't get hold of me!
MiL: Don't talk about me behind my back to my sister, just because 1 day when LO was a few weeks old, I didn't come out the bedroom to talk to you on one of your flying visits. I hadn't showered, I was in old PJs and I was in a bad mood.
And bitching to OHs friend about the lack of seeing LO? Nothings stopping you!
Also, please remember you have 2 grandchildren.
Sister 1: Hi, remember me? I'm your little sister, the one with the newborn baby who you 'love dearly'. I woulda thought loving someone dearly would of meant you'd bothered to come see them more then twice since they were born 2 months ago...
I'm done going out of my way to bother with you now
Sister 2: I love you! I need to tell you this more often
Friend: I don't know how to tell you that I don't think I'm ready to leave LO overnight with sister 2 next week, so we can have a night at your place. I feel like I've let you down to much lately to say I don't think I can leave her.
Ohh that feels better!
