I had my first postpartum breakdown. 3 hour ride to the monster in law complete with the 4 year old asking "are we there yet? can I have chips? are we spending the night? why can't I have chips?" nonstop the entire ride. Got to the in laws and got told it was my fault she had a rash because I ate a grape and I very sternly told her no, there's 100 different things were trying to rule out...SHE'S TEN DAYS OLD. Got told "no it has to be because 'she's a johnson". Asked to go to his brothers because I was about to lose it. She had been down my throat since the second I walked in and I could only take it for an hour. back in the car. 5 minute ride complete with "are we there yet" on repeat. I just started ranting about the stupid fucking grape and my fiance told me "it's ok" and I just lost it. It's not ok. I'm up for 40 minutes when she wakes up because even though I don't change her diapers, I wake up when she cries. Then I'm awake for the 20 minutes that she feeds for. Plus, if it wakes my son uo, he comes in and demands to go back to bed alone. so I'm trying to feed her plus get him back to bed all while still in pain from having a csection. I'm fucking tired. I don't feel like dealing with my mother in law anymore.

a grape? I don't understand.... I always eat tons of grapes, my SO has been letting my daughter suck on grapes since she was 2 weeks old. why grapes????

@kattastrophe, she swears that one of her kids had terrible diaper rash when she ate grapes, so it must be in the genes. my fiance got an edible arrangement sent to him from his work and it had grapes. she told me not to eat any. I told her I ate them all the time with my son and it never bothered him she goes "well, this one is a johnson, so she'll be different"

I would have flipped out.... I'm sure the amount of the acid from grapes that actually gets into the milk is absolutely miniscule she needs to get a grip... yes the baby is half your SO but she is also half you so just because her kids had it from that doesn't mean your little one will.... sorry it makes me so mad when people try to parent children that aren't theirs

@kattastrophe, overnight. she stayed with us the week after we had my daughter and that was just enough to save an ounce of sanity. less than 3 days later, we're back with her and now I'm even more drained. she asked if I needed her to hold my daughter. I told her no I was fine, I was trying to wake her up since I forgot my pump and I am over producing by A LOT. she walks over and just takes her.

@sarahdrew, even if it was acid from food, I also ate pineapple. a lot more of it.

omg WOW!! how annoying can she be?? if someone says "no", then "NO".... hopefully the night goes fast. if you brought a stroller or carrier, you could go for a walk. that's what I'd probably do
