Sometimes MY mum shows me that she’s truly a cunt

This might be too harsh but sometimes she just really cuts me deep - probably because it’s a reminder that she’s never cared for my opinion (and in turn made me feel uncared for).

She’s staying at my house right now and I’m struggling to get my 6 month old (second child) to sleep - I think she had a disaster nap in the car on the way home from the park earlier and is now out of whack.

My mum says do you think she needs Panadol maybe she’s got teething pain (for context my mum thinks everything wrong with a baby is teething - like every time I’m not joking)

So I go no she’s not in pain she doesn’t need it.

My mum then says “well how would you know?@

HOW WOULD I FUCKING KNOW WHAT MY CHILDREN NEED?! I’M NOT SURE?!

She’s so obsessed with being right and everything being a personal attack that she doesn’t care how she comes across.

Fuck off, you self involved cunt.

So annoying. My mum always has something to say too and we argue about it all the time.’

Could you say it back to her? “Well how would YOU know actually?!!!!” They can be so irritating sometimes can’t they?!

That’s like my partners mum she think she knows best all the time like to the point where I’m wiping my little boy or girls face after dinner because they have got food around there month & she always says just leave him his a kid I’m sorry if I want him to have a clean face & not let the lick them all the time because they have got food around their month than that’s what I’m going to do! Your not the only one I would be saying something if you feel like she is always getting in the way x

I have had to recently cut my mum out of my life due to stuff like this as it actually got me doubting on whether I was being a good mum or not.
There is obviously other reasons aswell but I couldn't understand why she would butt in when it came to my LO but she didn't and still doesn't care about my opinion x

This morning I told her how she hurt me and that she should just assume I probably don’t need her input unless I ask because turns out I know my baby

Her response was “well how should I have known why she wasn’t going to sleep, you didn’t give me the context”

Hello and welcome to MY WHOLE POINT

Cue insincere apology and await repeat of exact behaviour in 2-3 weeks

It’s actually insane how many of our mums and mils think like this!?? Thought I was alone 😭 my mum looks after my baby because my partner and I work full time, and she is wonderful with the baby but makes mine and my partners life a living hell 💀

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

I bloody hate reflux!

How much milk would you say this is?( after a 6oz bottle) My 3 month old is bunged up, full of yet another cold and it's made her reflux worse.

She's already on gaviscon but that's the most shes ever spat up in one go. She's also been teething for the last few weeks too 🙄
