There really needs to be a 'rant' page on here..
Ive just posted this in one of my other threads but here goes..
My OHs dad came round yesterday and my OH was saying about out LO crying for no reason, i replied that he doesn't cry for 'no reason' he either wants a cuddle, to play, a feed or his nappy changing' to which his dad very 'smartly' replied..
'you don't pick a baby up to cry, or they will always cry, u need to leave them some times for a little while'
so my reply was 'if MY baby wants a cuddle, I will cuddle MY baby, if he cries for a cuddle i will cuddle him, hes a boy, pretty soon he will be far too cool for cuddles from mummy and he will soon grow out of it, i cant see a 5yo boy crying for a cuddle, and if he does, do i care? NO im 21 and still love a good cuddle from my mum & dad.. wrong? i think not' it just really annoys me how people say you shouldn't cuddle a baby bcos they will always do it, well im sure he wont do it for the rest of his life will he really...
my 2nd rant is about weaning!!
My LB has reflux, we've tried gaviscon and different milks, nothings worked, we went to the hospital and they said they aren't willing to do anything for him.. anyway i was telling my mum and my OHs gran their reply was 'well just try him with baby rice/rusks/mashed potato' NO i want to do BLW and giving him mushed up anything takes away the whole concept of BLW.. yeah but it will help.. will it? are you sure it WILL? well it might do.. oh well..if it might do i might as well try what everyone else wants me to try rather than do what I want to do with MY baby!!
3rd rant.. sleeping out..
my LB is 4mo.. my mum is nagging and nagging to have him over night, im not ready yet, i want him to my self, the replies i get are 'you used to sleep at you grandmas every weekend' so and so is having so and so overnight already and shes only 3 week old.. AND!!!! im not so and so, and im not you! i don't want him to sleep out just yet and neither does my OH, im sorry mum but NO!! please stop nagging i will let you when im ready.. if its not my mum nagging its other people saying i NEED to let him go.. my auntie said he will be too clingy cos hes only ever around me and OH.. and your point is?? we are his parents.. so what!!
and the other thing that pees me off (no offence intended) 'oh don't you want a day off'.. a day off? u have a day off from a job, not from a baby, having a baby is not a job, its a lifestyle choice.. day off LOL do i get a weeks paid holiday too from this JOB!!!
then people who post on facebook 'oh having a baby is so hard, i don't have time to eat' 2 mins later a 'selfie' is posted wearing lovely clothes, face full of make up and a caption 'cant wait to get pissed this weekend' OHH lovely, yep, thats great!!
im sure there's another but right now i just cant think!!
