Monday Bitchfest - 5/18

[karebear2]

I am soooo sick I think I have the flu. Every bone in my body aches and my nose is running and I'm coughing up a storm. My daughter brought something from school and she got over it in 2 days, but I'm a mess. I'm more worried about not getting the LO sick. Thankfully I called my DH and he said he'll come home from work early today. I am trying my hardest not to kiss my little munchkin and missing out on all the snuggles

Another one: my SIL was picking on my DD1 yesterday saying how she has boogers in her nose and other shit that made me mad. Number 1 she's still getting over being sick, and mind your own dirty kid. It just frustrates me because she talks all kinds of shit about me and my family to others. I don't care about her badmouthing me, but kids should be off limits.

Wth school. You can't just give me random kids everyday to see for speech therapy with no office, paperwork or supplies. 15 days left woot!!

I have a freaking sign on my door that says do no disturb (when I'm pumping) and people still insist on knocking. Go away and DO NOT DISTURB!

This happens to me all. the. time. Or a colleague, who knows I'm pumping at the time, calls my phone. I can't talk school while pumping. My hands are busy and I don't need the stress...

What you can't do therapy in the bathroom? how about the hallway?

Hah right?! But I can't pump and do therapy in the bathroom.

I'm in the same boat. Not with the boss part, but the kids I teach are getting into "end of the year mode" and are not willing to do a whole lot. Its a struggle everyday.

Same here. And giving state tests, so I'm not really teaching anyway.

I'm so mad at myself. We went to go take some family pictures today. We got almost all the way there (about an hour or so away) and I realized that I had forgotten the camera!! Wtf mommy brain?! How are you going to take pictures without that?

Then, when we got up there it turns out that the snow still hasn't melted! It's almost June! I underestimated Colorado again... So a two hour car ride and nothing to show for it. I'm beyond sad/mad.

Every mother f'ing noise has decided to happen all at once when LO is napping at grandma daycare's house after I just put her down (staying for dinner). Mom's cell went off in the room next to her blasting, brother came home with his loud ass exhaust (yea, he's 20), ice cream man comes blasting his tunes riding down the street, sister comes in yelling "HELLO!!!!" Lol WTF whyyyy meeeeee!!!? She's sleeping through it all because of white noise but I still find it so typical lol

[nbateman5]

nannygoat sounds like something I'd do, you going to try again?

Yeah, eventually. We only have so many chances to do it since SO is only in town about once every two months. Hopefully by then the stupid snow is gone. We might just go to a park or something later if it doesn't rain. So sad, though.

DH's aunt and uncle just came back from Florida and were visiting us this past weekend. When they found out I was EBFing the boys they kept making ridiculous comments. Like "when they're 3 or 4 months, that's long enough" and "just wait until he bites you then you'll be done"(Lenny's first tooth popped through
Friday) "oh so you put one on each titty" "good thing you didn't have triplets, you wouldn't have enough titties" ...wtf I will nurse my babies as long as I want, I don't need to hear your two cents on what you think I should do with my babies. They are happy and healthy so I will continue to do what I'm doing thank you.

That reminds me of my bitchfest.
Dh's grandma is constantly making comments on how I should have breastfed LO. Its so much "easier" and "he wouldn't spit up so much" and "you would have lost more weight by now" and all sorts of other things that really upset me. I wanted to breastfeed and I tried really hard to be successful at it. It broke my heart that I had to switch to formula. But my son is perfect and happy. So stop bringing it up every time we see you crazy old lady.

DS is ebf and spits up constantly. How ridiculous.

aleys628 my MIL is just the opposite. She seems to think that I should have ff little one and that he would be a lot bigger if I had. I have no problems with formula, but I wanted and was able to bf and we've been doing fine so far. She keeps saying how any day my supply is going to dry up so we should get him accustomed to the taste of formula and every time I pump she always comments on how it must hurt. They're my boobs and his growth is totally fine. They just need to drop it.

[ThePregosaurus]

Teething.

[samantha24]

mgk207 that word makes me cringe too! I felt embarrassed every time they would talk like that, I'm not much of a vulgar talker, just not my thing. And thank you! I have worked really hard to be able to EBF the boys. I don't think they realize that either, but oh well. I just nodded my head.

[kookooma]

My DH picked his sister to be godmother. She lives in SD and we live near St. Paul MN. We texted her a couple of dates that we picked to see if one works for her since she has to drive a long way. Her response? I can't make any of them. I used up my vacation days already. This was via text and that's all it said. Seriously? Not even worth a call? You can kiss that godmother role goodbye now.

@kc295905 thank you!

Formula costs are so expensive for 1, I cannot imagine 2! Everytime you make it 1 more week, just think that would have been probably at least $100 spent and that's if they drink the standard stuff. Add the additional benefits of BF, I am ashamed that anyone would make fun of such a thing.

We went to my FIL house to visit this weekend. My SIL was there with her DS (7 weeks older than my DS). She made side comments all night about how much better her DS does than my LO at just about everything. My DS is so fussy, my DS isn't holding his own bottle yet, even said his penis is smaller than her DS. SERIOUSLY??? I had to reallllly bite my tongue this weekend. This happens at every get together. It makes me rage every time

WTF??? She's got some serious jealousy underneath all those AW comments. And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate...
