Things I cannot say out loud....

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... :shrug:
I'm done going out of my way to bother with you now :nope:

Sister 2: I love you! I need to tell you this more often :flower:

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!
 
I feel like such a bitch, after moaning at DH for not helping he came home yesterday with flowers and did the night feed. However thanks to baby Gaviscon LO slept till 4:30am after feeding at 11pm so he got more sleep than I normally manage but I was so grateful, especially as I started my first period after birth and feel grim.
 
FOB: Can you please please get it into your head that I think your mental & I DO NOT want to get back with you!! I want you to have the best relationship with your son, just not with me.

Mum: I know its your house, but if you refuse to let FOB in to see LO then I'll be forced to take LO to see them & thats only going to cause trouble isn't it.
 
I'm excited too! But really scared at the same time, it feels like going through a door but not knowing what's on the other side. I just hope everything works out =)
 
LO -

PLEASE go to sleep. You are just so grumpy and tired and nothing will make you feel better except an hour's sleep. Please?? For Mummy??

:cry: I've just said out loud to mine... Why do they fight it? Sleep is so so lovely! :shrug: xx
 
And you bloody well wonder why I don't half the time bother to tell you when you have done something that has upset me. You get up yourself and I end up feeling like I have done something so terrible in expressing my feelings, and you wonder why I want to suppress them
 
I <3 this thread!

Nice to know I am not the only one with crazy inlaws!!!

Dear MIL... my child is wonderful, yes, but the sun does not shine out of his ass and if you keep thinking he is advanced and doing things he clearly isn't doing, you're going to end up making him think he can do things he really can't like you did with your other grandchild who thinks she's an expert at everything. Please stop worshipping him and let him be who he is, which is pretty darned wonderful all on its own.
He will NOT be talking 'any day now' ...he's 4 freaking months old!
He babbles, it is not some message coming right from his soul and you are NOT psychic.

Also, just because you are old and always cold, does not mean my son is the same... that is why I have thermometers around so you can SEE that is 83 degrees and that he needs to be changed out of his long-sleeved clothes. I don't like coming home to find him overheated and cranky and you thinking he's sick because you don't have an ounce of common sense.

I don't know why he farts so much when you watch him, please stop letting him gulp air with his bottle or whatever it is that you do.

If the clothes don't fit, PLEASE don't squeeze them on! and if the shirt isn't coming off his head easily, please check for snaps, don't just start tugging/yanking on the shirt while my baby bounces around hanging by his neck!

SIL - I appreciate how much you love him, but I really don't need a blow by blow of EVERY detail that went on during the day (including the detail of the poopy diaper that almost leaked etc).


WHEW... good to get some of that out, and thats just the tip of the iceberg!!!
 
Dear friends who are waiting a while before having children. I respect your choices, so please respect that I have a basic clue about bringing up my girls. Holding them when they cry is not spoiling them. Ally not sleeping is not because I am fussing her, it's because she's two weeks old, and looks as though she's caught a cold from big sis. And yes, I have tried putting her in her moses basket...we didn't buy it as an ornament.

Oh, and it's perfectly normal to still have a belly two weeks post partum, but thanks for pointing it out.

Gawd. This happens to me all the time. Upsets me soo much. :growlmad:
Don't ask whats wrong or tell me "we can talk and you'll listen" if you just try to turn EVERYTHING around into my fault...so pointless.

I'll just STFU forever in that case.

:dohh: ohhhh, just remember it all for when they have theirs.... :haha: as for the stomach- where do they expect it to go?! :hugs: xx

I may have had to slap the person who said that....

To my psoriasis - OK, I get that you always come out when I'm stressed, but do you have to come out on my face? On my head I can just about deal with, but not under my eye, which is already red and sore from no sleep and too much crying.

To MIL - yes I know its upsetting that LO was so distressed yesterday, but you didn't help by crying. After 4 days in hospital on a camp bed and no sleep, I was struggling to hold it together myself, and didn't need your histrionics. And how many times do I have to tell you, she still has spina bifida. Removing the cyst does not remove the condition. Yes, she might still have bladder issues when she's older, we won't know until she's being potty trained. Stop crying about it and saying "It's such a shame" because I want Pud to grow up feeling she can manage her issues, whatever they are.

To DH - I've written some stuff on here about you, but you have come into your own these last few days, and I love you for it. Thank you for saying that if Pud is still unsettled tonight, you will stay downstairs with her and let me sleep. I need you to do that more than you will ever know xx
