Emotional rant
My parents live 13hrs driving away from me. Last time we were able to meet up was when my daughter was born, 6 months ago. They came to visit and leave tomorrow. I feel so bad because my daughter is going through stranger danger and teething and doesn’t want anyone else to hold her. And both my parents just want to hold her and love on her soo bad and I can tell that it hurts them that she freaks out when they try. Especially my dad.
Im praying in June when we see them again it’s better. It actually makes me cry (and I’m not an emotional person) because I miss my parents so much and I have a close relationship with them and now having my first biological daughter I want her around them more and I want her to have that relationship and closeness that my niece and nephews have with them. But she doesn’t.
We don’t want to move back to that state so idk how it will change. I’m just having a hard time tonight. 4 days is not enough time when you sometimes go 6-8 months without seeing each other but jobs and school make vacations really difficult.
I also live 12 hours from my mom and we were extremely close before I moved away almost 2 years ago. Our families have not seen our daughter since she was 4 months old. My mom comes next week for 10 days and I’m scared that she is going to act like this. My mom is already upset cause she has missed everything on her last grandchild and I know she will be heart broken if she refuses to let her hold her.
We try to video chat a lot so hoping seeing grandma on the screen will make her feel less like a stranger.
As much as it breaks my heart I would never move back to where we left.
You just explained my life. My daughter acted the same way with my mom and sister and it made me cry. My 3 boys were raised around my family but we moved to Vegas from san Diego last year before she was born. It's my mom's first granddaughter and she just wants to love her. It literally breaks my heart and idk how to fix it. We face time everyday but never seems like enough. Some day I regret moving
That’s how I feel right now. My sister keeps telling me to just move back buuut it’s not that easy
I love how I repeatedly told my father in law not to let my daughter root through the toy box because she doesn’t want anything out of it anyway and he keeps picking her up and taking her to the toy box no matter how many times I tell her no and tell him she doesn’t even want anything out of there anyway. At first I told him “only let her get one toy” so she picks one up and he is still holding her over the toy box then tries to put her over the baby gate so she can grab more. I’m sorry but you ...
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
I will say this last day my daughter was better with my dad but still wasn’t 100% with him. Hopefully in June when we’re there for almost 3 weeks it will be better. I’m going to try FaceTiming more and hopefully that will help.
