Things I cannot say out loud....

[StarlitHome]

DH's aunt - why do you ask every time you see BooBoo "when she is seeing the doctor?" She doesn't need to see the doctor all the time, she's a BABY, not ill or something. ???

 

[Ozzieshunni]

That's odd, Starlit.

Earth- STOP shaking under my feet!

Earthquake!!!!!!!!!

We have had 42.... 42 EARTHQUAKES since 08/23 and I live between 5 to 9 miles from all of the epicenters. So obnoxious.


Breasts: I am very disappointed in you not holding up from the pregnancy and Bfing. Hide yourself behind a support bra and get out of my sight!

I know!!! Seriously - we have a meal with DH's aunt once a week or so and every time, she asks when Boo will be seeing the pediatrician. It's getting very annoying - like, what, do you think something is WRONG with my child?

I know I shouldn't get annoyed because Aunty is 70+, she's a spinster who's never had children, and she's totally ignorant about babies.
Also, I just remembered that DH's cousin's youngest (aka, the last baby Aunty was around) has major food allergies and eczema - so she probably saw the doctor a lot as a baby?
But - Boo is FINE! Absolutely healthy, she sleeps through most of our visits with Aunty, so it's not like she's fussing or something, and we told Aunty after her first checkup how she's PERFECT and in the 80th percentile for height and 50th for weight and everything is great. So I don't understand WHY Aunty insists on asking this every time she sees her!!

maybe she means the health visitor? my MIL used to always mark on her calender that my DD had the docs on such a date and when i asked why she put drs it was because she thought it was, a bit of teaching later and now she gets it lol!
tho maybe shes just old and as you say, doesnt know alot about babies, maybe just tell her straight that there is no medical reason for your baby to be going to the doctors and you find that her saying it so often is like a tempt of fate, iygwim.


Mum, thanks for coming down to stay until baby arrives, but telling me your coming yesterday and then deciding not to ring until 7pm and tell me that you will leave this morning and then not answer your phone all day and txt me at 7 saying your on your way now is not on! stick to your arrangements! its not even like you had anything to do! grr

MIL yes my mum is coming down to stay, the main reason for this is because i dont feel comfortable having you as an option to watch DD when i go into hosp! (She thinks my mums coming down to get a break from job searching! its going to be hard work to get mum not to open her big gob!)

OH yes i know you dont think its right that i will happily let my mum take faith out for the day without me and that im more than happy for this to happen but i wont let DD go around to your parents anymore, but they left her waiting FFS! she was stood in our hall with her coat and shoes on and her lil bag all ready to go and they put off picking her up because they wanted to clean out the cupboard... do you remember that! i do! it broke my heart seeing our lil girl standing there overheating and refusing to take off her coat because she wanted to go to nannys house. That will never happen again! it happened to me so much as a child and i refuse to let the same thing happen to my DD! also your mum has a bad shoulder and cant lift and is on a concoction of medication which allow her to function at the most basic of levels, your dad has a sore back and cant lift and cant see that hes wrong when he shouts abuse or racisim at someone on tv. Not things i look for when thinking of a safe environment for my DD! Plus as far as theyre concerned my mum isnt allowed to take her out on her own either, so its not like they realise that its 1 rule for my mum and another rule for them!
(no point saying this, it would be the 100th time and would end up in the same argument!)
o and no is the answer to your question of 'can she ever stay at there house?' i know i tell you maybe or when shes older, but the answer is no, i plan on saying when shes older until either A) they lose the house with your mums lack of budgeting, B) are too old to b left to look after a child C) DD is too old to want to stay or D) until we move far away
OH 1 last thing, stop with your bottom burps! im lucky that they dont stink but pllleeeeaaaasssseee theyre so loud and vile sounding that the noise makes me vom! x

Crazy so many!!!

for your boobs

To me- ffs lose weight, stop being so lazy, get the washing done, clean and sort out the fucking house and think about jobs!

I can't help being lazy it seems! I second what you said!

 

[MizzDeeDee]

MIL- When I said that to Corrine, " You're the reason mommy is fat now" I really appreciated that you would regal me and your DIL with how you lost all your baby weight right away and it was because your babies were only 18 months apart.

Even your DIL rolled her eyes.. it was a joke and I am 4 months postpartum... I can't do magic like you apparently can... sorry.

No health visitors here in Hawaii, as Ozzie said. If it was just that, I'd educate as you said!
But no, she's just old and doesn't know anything about babies (never married, never had kids of her own). The thing is that every time she asks, I tell her that BooBoo is perfectly healthy according to the doctors and there is no reason for her to be seeing the doctor constantly.
Maybe next time I'll add the "tempting fate" part, that's a good idea

Silly me, I swear this baby brain will never go away!

I'm in the USA and I have a couple HV's!! Lol. One is a nurse, one is a social worker (program thru my insurance for pregnant women and infants, they trade off. One comes one month, the other the next, etc.)

My other HV comes to track development and basically comes twice a week to play with the baby and talk about sex and alcohol with me.....

Anyway, off topic, sorry.

 

[lisaf]

nose - you better not be running because I'm getting a cold.. I can't handle that right now, but I'm feeling horrible so it probably is one Just don't let my little guy handle it, I am not going to be able to handle a sick/cranky baby while I'm sick and cranky myself.

OH- Please when u get in can you take your daughter for more than 2 minutes i understand she cries on u but i need to cook dinner and it is sweet u keep bringing her to say hello to mummy but you are getting in my way and everything is taking twice as long.

if i give you he to ur for five minutes to have a showerwhy do you bring herup to see me i have seen her all day please let me enjoy my rushed 5 minute shower on my own please.

if you say we are popping in to your mums can it stay as popping in not staying all evening whilst lo gets passed from pillar to post and woken when she sleeps which results in her being handed back to me overtired and impossible to settle.

and if i say lets go up to bed at 9.15pm because your snoring on the sofa and lo has gone down a little earlier do u instead of having a cuddle etc do u turn around and put your feet in my face to massage!!! get lost i want to relax!!!


mil- no i will not give lo boiled water for colic she is breastfed-yes she wants me im her mum she is not to 'knowing' and spoilt she is tired and wants me not nana.

you keep banging on about water and food whicj makes me dread leaving her with you in case you go behind my back and try giving her some!!!

it almost feels like you want to try and treat her as your own! now please pass her to ohs sil she has been waiting ages to say hello

lo -again let mummy put you down for five minutes im exhausted and crying all the way to the clinic and in it for no reason you had been recently changed fed and burped makes me feel bad and the way you scream makes it sound like im hurting you!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

What is it with them bringing LO "to see" us? Mine does that!
