Coming Unglued

[bbqthepunk]

After one month of non stop pumping,getting up every two - three hours,and just plain stress..I,Courtney Nichols have lost my mind. If you don't believe me just ask the woman that held little JJ while I cried and made him a bottle. I was crying because he doesn't want to latch on,he cries when he gets changed and apparently that's a crime(While I

Ugh, ignore them. Seriously. Not to say anything bad about your in-laws, but no one, not even uber-mom Michelle Duggar, knows everything about children. Mistakes happen when handling children. My cousin, mother of four and self-proclaimed scholar of all things baby, got in a rush one day to unload her youngest and knocked his head on the actual car door and he wailed up a storm.

I know these things are easier said than done, but perhaps you should ask people to back off when you're feeling claustrophobic handling JJ. I did that once and it wasn't even my child. (WTF is up with people flocking to babies and just plucking them right out of your arms?!)

You're a new mother of a newborn. You're allowed to say "FUCK YOU" every once in a while and just be with your baby. Except... maybe do it in a nicer tone. :P

I should of said I needed some space but I did say "I'm not used to doing this with an audience." They just stared at me like I was speaking a different language. I try my best to not think too much into the things my mother-in-law says because she doesn't edit herself before she speaks.
I think the one person that bugs the crap outta me is my sister-in-law Jennifer..She thinks shes super mom. It drives me nuts! She gives me "advice" but it's more of her telling me how to parent. I want to shake her and say "SHUT THE FUCK UP"...I was telling her about how I wish Jeff would help more during the day and blah blah that I understood he worked but it'd still be nice of him to make a bottle or change a diaper..She told me "Well it's our job as women to take care of the children so the guys can work" Well no shit sherlock! okay okay vent done..lol

Vent all you want! When my friend Shelby had her baby she had to endure all that talk from her baby daddy's ex-wife (now that was a fucked up situation). Even though her baby daddy worked two shifts, he still came home and did stuff, and that was mostly because Shelby made him so she could sleep. It was only her at their apartment and it was a bit exhausting. (understatement, I know)

Hope you have a fabulous Christmas!

Jeff has been giving me two extra hours almost every morning which is great!

Have a wonderful Christmas too!

frig I remember these feelings and I HATED them.

Just remember, when they cry it's because they are crazy and not a personal reflection on your parenting.
