STFUSTFUSTFUSTFUSTFUSTFU

Can everyone just.shut.the.hell.up???? Please??

No. I don't want to give him formula to get him to sttn. I know one formula bottle won't kill him but I don't want to. My child's bedtime is important and no, I can't just put him in the stroller to take him caroling at nine o'clock at night. No one wants carolers at their house after nine anyway.

I am praying my mother will get laryngitis so I don't have to hear her shrill voice. I want to throw whoever invented those stupid effing pieces of plastic shapped like peanuts characters that sing some stupid christmas song every time you push a button off a cliff with sharp rocks all the way down. My parents have no less than twelve. Oh and if my sister or SIL tell me one more time, "My kids all sttn right away so I don't know what you're going through," I am running away to a B and B in Harber Country and spend Christmas by myself. Sleeping. Alla Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. But not after throat punching them and putting dead batteries in their smoke detectors so they beep all night.

Oh and my BFF still doesn't know if she's coming to Christmas eve dinner and stay over with us. She will let me know by church at 4:00.

Add your holiday frustrations here.

Oh I am soooo dreading my first visit to the IL's with LO in a few weeks....I'm thinking it is going to be something like this, only he's the only grandchild on DH's side so I fear the advice will be even worse, and nearly 30 years old.

All I know, is if my MIL comes into our room while we are sleeping and takes my child from his crib, sleeping or awake, I don't care.  I will fake a mental breakdown, complete with tears and screeching "Where is my baby???" and scare them into never doing that again. 

And my dear MIL, who keeps saying, "My baby, my baby..." oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the 9 months that you carried him in your womb?  Your GRANDbaby, yes.  But not your baby.  (And he isn't just YOUR grandbaby, you see, I have parents too...)

I keep chanting to myself:  *It's only 5 days, it's only 5 days, it's only 5 days*

Speaking of things that sing. My nephew got this Rudolph, maybe 4 years ago. It sings Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, and the nose lights up. I'll never forget it. All through the mall, the whole way home, all day, every day playing with this thing. It's so super loud. I want to kill Rudolph, but every year at Christmas time he wants it.

Worst part... All he asked for from Santa was "two Rudolph the red nose reindeers singing." Needless to say, my sister had to search the internet for it so he wouldn't be disappointed Christmas morning.

Oh, and I love the part about wishing laryngitis on your mom.

holy hell.  koa is deranged today.  deranged.  she has never been like this before.  EVER.  screaming bloody murder. 

she's either teething or she hates christmas.  i'm not sure which, but she is going to drive me to drink.

 

....and i am sure i will be echoing all of your statements, btw, later on in the week when i go see my dad.  i can hear it now.  "you're spoiling her.  you feed her too much.  let her cry."  ugh.

Sergio is the same way today, wth?!!! I gave him some Tylenol and he's down for a nap now. I'm off to work, but hopefully he behaves himself for SO.

We have the opposite problem. Everyone wants to hold him all of the time, so for the next couple of days, he won't want to be put down. My mom has watched him for the past two days and probably held him the entire time. I can't even set him on his playmat for more than 5 minutes without him screaming today.

I may be a scrooge, but caroling? Hell no. No one better show up at my door at 9pm singing. Sounds like the perfect excuse to skip it to me..."Oh, ya know, I have a baby!"

So, formula makes a baby STTN?  Why didn't someone give that memo to Leo back in October?  

Sorry for your frustrations Baker.  Hopefully your visit doesn't last too long.

(And no Christmas complaints here.  Oh, maybe that I have to go to church again tonight after being at church yesterday, but somehow I'll survive that)

Go ahead and add me to the list of "WTH is going on with LO today??"  The fussiness is at all time high today, so I've resorted back to just wearing him in the Moby all. day. long.  My hips are going to hate me later, I'm certain.

Merry Christmas Happy Hanukkah Happy Kwanzaa Hallelujah and Holy *****.  Where's the Tylenol?

Well, I'm sure this weekend at my ILs will be interesting.  My ILs think that I "make" Leo nap way too much.  I'm pretty convinced that DH never took a nap when he was an infant, and that's why he was a holy terror.

Everyone thinks they know all the secrets to STTN. MIL is convinced that he's ready for solids and that's why he's waking more. Apparently when H was a baby he never went through any phases, STTN, and was perfect and never cried. Funny, because his aunt said he was colicky the first 3 months...

I think it's called mommy amnesia.

MIL said H only took one nap a day until he was 2 and he was just so perfect and never cried, and he was the perfect size and she never "over fed" him...

His aunt says he was colicky and had failure to thrive.

I'm pretty sure DH had reflux (33 years ago, he was "colicky").  My ILs say that they had to go for a drive every night just to get him down.  That being said, when they watched Leo a month ago when we went out to dinner, my FIL said, "No naps for you or you won't sleep through the night!"  And I said, "No, please, let him nap so that he isn't a complete monster."  Anyway, how do you force a child to sleep?  They only sleep when they are tired.  Sheesh.

I am also accused of forcing my child into a nap. Oh, your right MIL, he can't possibly be tired. All that whining and rubbing his eyes means he wants you to play airplane with him and screech in his face.

That's really obnoxious!

My vent is DH wants to take two cars tonight, so I can take the kids home and he can stay and party...

My mom and brother and I have been brawling for two days. I want to run away. I want to move out. Alone. I am not in the Christmas spirit at all. I was going to have my mom do me a favor and bring my son to the half way spot to meet my butthole ex IL's on Wednesday. But now I might take the day off so I don't have to ask her if she's still mad. My brother is loaded but he thinks we don't know. I still haven't decorated my tree and I have to mop the whole first floor. My husband just gave me a beautiful camera as an early present and I am looking at the box crying because I feel like I am a twatbag and don't deserve it. My house and everyone in it is a mess right now. Thankfully I don't have to deal with extended family tonight or tomorrow. I also have to get the motivation to have my son call his grandma and step grandma to thank them for the gifts that came today.

My kid decided to be sick AND start teething as soon ad we got to my parent's house yesterday. Lots of coughing and crying and drooling and shoving things into her mouth. Christmas joy!

My mom keeps making comments about doing something to make lo sleep longer stretches at night since it's no longer than 3 hours at a time right now.
I'm not against lo have formula here and there since my pump is dying and have no back up supply, but per plenty of you mama's our there, formula babies still wake up at night!
Oh and she keeps trying to pressure me into buying cereal to give to her even though I've said we're just going fruit and veg! I hate how her words burrow into my brain but those two are really things I'm not going to change my mind about. It's so frustrating! Why must everyone try to tell us how to raise our babies?!
