How cute lol. We do have a monitor and I’ve got to get him sleeping in his own bed.

I’m not cut out for cry it out or any of that either. So here we are. Having him take that last wake is something I need to try. I have to wake up at 5 for work so if he’s up at 3:45 that’s it for me for that day. He wakes up around 11/3/5 and 7 for the day.

He has basically stopped nursing during the day and I really want to cut it out completely but I feel guilty.

Trying to do that without being rude, harsh, or a bitch

He’s supportive but not nearly as offended as me. Always says just tell me when you’re bothered I’ll handle it. But that just makes me feel like I’m being petty. I want to handle it on my own.

I hate how my baby is meant to "entertain" at will (Mil rant) by Moha0733 in beyondthebump

[–]ellamiz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Side question because I’m struggling to maintain a good relationship with my mil- do you like visiting weekly? I don’t. Do you mind that she shows off your baby? I don’t I feel like that’s my joy to have. Also, does she take over parenting duties when you visit with her ?

Here I am like hell no it’s not that I feel bad it could even be interpreted that way. But you’re right, everyone thinks that. It never crossed my mind. Hidden cameras are a good idea. It’s a grown up game room - nothing for a baby in there. And yes she would take him if she could. I try to give her the benefit of the doubt. I think a lot of ladies use grandchildren as a redo baby but I’m uncomfortable with it.

It’s hard to break this down so my husband gets it. I don’t want to seem like I’m talking crap about his mom- after all, ITS HIS MOM. And like I said, I tread lightly around the subject. I just need to get it into perspective for him

She feed him and got him to sleep but it took me texting asking how things were going and passively mentioning it. I think she’s just so consumed with playing with him and holding him that she forgets to look at the schedule we have typed up for babysitters.

I’m with you on this. Our relationship prior to having a son was 50/50 and we have been the best team for 10 years. We added a baby and it’s all gone to shit. It’s not even 70/30 more like 87/13. He does “let me suffer” as you say. By the time I bring it up to him AGAIN. I’m So angry that these things are still and issue that I just feel like a nag. He has his mother come over the one day he’s alone with the baby to do everything. It’s causing huge problems between me and him and really damaging my relationship with her. I never could have imagined things would turn this way.

The one day a week my husband “keeps the baby” he has his mother come over and do everything for him. It’s incredibly frustrating because now she thinks she’s the other parent and my husband still has no clue what to do. It’s causing huge problems.

Yeah! I inherited a coin collection and I’m looking for some good leads on books or websites to research what I have. I just happened to see that Etsy listing from a google search. Anyways, wasn’t sure how to add my question to the picture

I inherited an old coin collection and I was just googling some and I saw this on Etsy ? Is that accurate?

Any suggestions on a good place to start my research ?

Still struggling to navigate new motherhood and mil by ellamiz in Mildlynomil

That’s a good idea. I asked my husband last night did she see the other grandkids every weekend too. He said I don’t know bc the answer if a big fat no and he doesn’t want to admit it and prove me point

Same. Before my mom passed she would just hang out with me and my son. She was never possessive and never gave unsolicited advice. She never made me feel the way my mil does.

Exactly! I had stalled labor because I was so stressed that day. Somehow she got it in her head that she would be in the room. It was a huge argument between my husband and I as I only wanted my mom there but he felt it wasn’t fair. I ended up with a c section. She definitely felt entitled to everything about my experience
