WTF Wednesday (Special Edition)

[ashbash]

WTF C, whyyyyy wont you take a bottle, whyyyyyyy must me and my boobs be at your beck and call. I just reallllllly want a date night that is more than 2 hours

Since we are past the halfway mark to a year/weaning I am finding my peace with this but I had some serious negative thoughts and feelings about this and really needing my body back and some space. Especially since DD was the same way, Ive been dealing with this ish for 2.5 years.

[ashbash]

We need to invent baby nail caps. Like those things they make for cats so they cant scratch because +3 to being scratched and pinched with those razor nails

WTF DD, why do you try to rip my lips/face off anytime I hold you? And squeeze my arm fat REALLY hard? And bite my shoulder with your tiny razor baby teeth?

WHY WON'T YOU SLEEP?

Why won't you let your father hold you for 1 minute while I take a goddamn shower and paint my toenails?



+1 with the rolling over while diaper changing. It makes me ragey.



...I actually feel much better now.

+1 to all of this! B has to grabbing or pinching my face to fall asleep and it's driving me crazy lately. She also refuses to go to her dad while I'm around. Don't you know I need a break from you baby! Hanging and climbing on my all day, everyday is making me lose my mind.

[alayne926]

+1 to the rolling during changes....I get so frustrated

+1 to the grabbing of the face, neck, hair, etc....it hurts baby girl!

WTF to crying/fussing all evening unless you are being held. I'm tired too, but momma has stuff to do, love. I need to be able to put you down to cook dinner, eat, bath you and brother, talk to dad.

[jessila]

So I'm not the only one? This is currently happening.

Also, WTF, kid? You'll sleep 7 1/2 hrs in your swing but only 4 in your crib?

[jillywilly]

@jemomma, thank you. I needed this today.

WTF dear child of mine - why, for the love of all things good in this world, will you not sleep flat on your back? You're moving too much to let us keep you in the Daydreamer, so you're going to have to deal with sleeping like a normal baby in your crib. Crying hysterically no matter what from 8-10 is not really necessary. Mom just just wanted to take NyQuil and pass out.
Also, +Whatever to the grabbing, pulling, pinching over here. You love mommy, stop hurting her!

[thecatsmeow]

WTF baby boy... why must you constantly try and rip off any kind of bib I put on you?! It is so frustrating and completely cancels out any effectiveness of the bib.

+1 to the rolling bum changes and pinching/pulling especially my hair and nose

[griffindor24]

+2 for DS grabbing my face, neck, hair, and everything else he can get his tiny little fingers on while nursing. It is infuriating and so painful! WTF 2 year old DD, why must you always take your clothing off and walk around naked? You must be freezing and it drives me insane. WTF DS, why are you so clingy to me? Other people can hold you, I promise it will not hurt you.

[erbear]

+1 on rolling over during diaper changes. It's like gymnastics trying to keep her on the changing table.

+1 on the pulling and pinching. I come home and take off my jewelry and pull up my hair, but I'm still getting pulled and pinched and now poked, too. She also likes to pull the straps of my bra while nursing and snap them back on me. Ouch, kid!

[periwinkledaydreams]

WTF my sweet fun little crazy person... how bout you figure out how to go more than 2.5 seconds without me holding you, looking directly at your face, talking to you, playing with you, singing to you, entertaining you without becoming an all out screaming drama monster? Sometimes Mama's gotta chill for a sec and do some other shit! You're real cute and want everyone to pay attention to you all the time, we get it.. go tell Mimi...

ETA WTF yo, why you don't behave this way with your Dad?  Why you just chill out on the floor and let him watch TV???

[baytosa2013]

oh man ALL the ++++'s for the rip your face off, rolling and screaming like a banshee during diaper changes, and giving my cats a run for their money in the clawing and scratching of all things skin related.

Also WTF with the standing on everything, wanting everything I happen to be holding RIGHT.NOW and pretty much busting your ass all over the place. CPS is going to side eye the shit out of me one of these days if you don't knock it off.

[beersandweirs]

So it's not just my little one?!

We have diaper change rolling, hair pulling, nose picking, chest scratching and mouth probing all over here, too!

+1 to my kid standing on everything and falling all the time. I have no clue how to get him to stop bumping his head every 5 seconds.

We had the same problem for a long time, and I was set to go back to work at about 7 months, so it was really stressing us out.  And then one day she just got it, it was nuts! So I guess I would say, keep trying!

[iowamama615]

+a million to the rolling and pinchy-grabs

My contribution: WTF with turning your head just enough to miss the burp cloth and spit up all over both of us.
Also, wtf to jamming your shoulder/arm/hand into my neck and choking me whenever I rock you to sleep at night.

[sugarkissed]

This is what I needed today. WTF to my whole family. Haha.

+ Whatever to the biting, rolling during diaper changes, standing and face planting, and hair pulling. WTF to puking on the floor and then splashing in it before I can clean it. WTF to not taking a bottle and nursing around the clock... Mama needs a drink.

Also, WTF to DD1 for constantly freaking out when the baby comes within 10 feet of your toys.
WTF to the dog for bringing her all of your disgusting chew toys. She can't throw them to you, she just chews them too.
WTF to DH for working late because you slept in... putting both kids to bed myself is easy and super relaxing, don't worry.

[musicfrk2002]

+however many for the face grabbing, neck twisting, and rolling during diaper changes

Wtf, why must you only be interested in what is behind you at all times?

Wtf suspected tooth #3, just make an appearance and get it over with. I'm miserable.

Wtf child, y u no nap today?

[tiffbot]

DS, I know you are both our child and like things to be your way, I get it. But DD is going to crawl, and she's going to do what she wants, and you can't try to push or pull her to the spot YOU want her to sit!

DD, there are other octaves than shrieking. I know youre smiling and trying to loudly constantly explain how happy you are but a simple giggle would suffice!

DS, again, this is something that can't be controlled right now. When you yell at her to 'STOP SCREAMIN LO!' at the same time it just makes her scream more and just frustrates you more and makes my house sound like the volume button is broken on high. I promise she won't always talk like this.

[bookninja]

LO.... Why do you sit quietly on daddy's lap while he plays computer games, but if you are on MY lap, and I'm playing the the exact same game, you are either arching your back and struggling to get away (what exactly do you expect to happen if you do fling yourself off of me, anyway?) and/or climbing me like a tree so you can put your fingers up my nose?
Not cool.
Also. Mommy doesn't get naps at work. Please $&#% sleep at night.
And, DH, don't ask me (all perky and well rested) if she did better last night, when she didn't. You just slept through it all. Some day he's going to get a baby butt (I'll be nice, diapered) on his face at 3 am.
Actually, it did feel nice to let that all out... ?

[tjanca22]

Ugh, the grabbing, pinching, hair pulling, etc. Its like going into battle everyday.

WTF LO to you now crawling past every toy in your path to only play with something that you shouldn't play with. Table legs, door stoppers, drawer handles, the mirror?!? Seriously kid, shove something other than my entire house in your mouth.

[purple]

+whatever to having my lips and face pulled by razor sharp fingernails, and my hair tugged hard.

Also: wtf, baby girl. I know you're learning to eat and it's an important part of the learning process, but do try not to throw all your food, and your cup, onto the floor multiple times per meal. It's mummy's mealtime too.

Also, right now this second: you are exhausted. Please to stop screaming in my ear and go to sleep.

[erbear]

Oh yeah, +1 on the wanting to stand all the time. She only wants to stand on us, though. She'll crawl up to us and reach out until we hold her hands and let her climb. Then she'll turn around, sit down, crawl away, and repeat. I feel like a jungle gym.

[periwinkledaydreams]

WTF screaching wriggling sleep fighting nap dragon, do you know there are babies who just.... FALL ASLEEP when they are TIRED?!?! I have done my best to block out all light and noise from your world... why are you JUST LIKE ME?

I've had to replace my necklace chain twice because I forgot to take it off before picking him up and it snapped off. He also rips my earrings out daily because I never remember to take those off (you think I'd learn by now).

I've taken to wearing my cross on a ribbon (purple, of course) until this stage is past.

[dmoney]

WTF DD for screaming your head off when I am holding you recently, but as soon as daddy comes in you stop. Way to make me feel like a crappy mom because I have to work and Daddy doesnt have a job right now. and WTF to Dh for making me feel even worse about it when I start crying. Your not helping the fact you are only making it worse.

Also WTF weather, its pouring out making it really hard to keep my eyes open and im so tired. I know it would kill my but im seriously thinking about using my scheduled pump time to take a nap instead.

Ooohh so maybe we all have the same babies because I don't have much to add, lol !

+1 trillion to rolling during diaper change, H decided he won't do those anymore because it takes him 20 minutes each time, ah.

+1 trillion also to pulling my earrings, my necklace, picking my nose and making me bleed by scratching it, garbing my face and so on.

WTF my little love, why do you always want to play with THE toy out of your reach and DADADADA us as loud as you can, pointing it, until we grab it for you?? You are surrounded by toys just take another one or learn to crawl and get our own things already !

Yes to the wanting all the toys that are out of reach. You would think it would make him more motivated to crawl, but why to grab something for yourself when fussing at mom is so much more fun???

[heartofglass]

+1 to scratching, pulling, rolling during diaper changes and snapping bra straps

WTF little boy:
Why do you have a fit anytime you need your face or nose wiped now?
Why is the dogs rubber pig the best toy in the house? (WTF Dog, why do you leave the rubber pig sitting around the house where LO can find it?)
Why do your nails grow so fast and mine don't?
Must you play in the spit-up now?

[mbjune13]

@jemomma Thank you for starting this. I have been feeling really crappy about getting frustrated with B lately. Logically it isn't her fault but with everything piling up I am slowly losing my mind.

[Widget123]

WTF why can't you give me some space instead of needing to crawl on me / pull up on me all the time?

WTF why won't you sit still for 2 seconds and smile so I can take your picture?

Also WTF with the hair pulling.
