Keeping My Mouth Shut
So one reason I started this journal was because I was sick and tired of those around me who would not just let stuff go! I mean anything I said or do would keep coming up.
OK so here's yesterday's ick moment. My mother-in-law just drives me nuts, (I know I'm not the only one who's MIL drives them nuts). She makes it a point to tell me at every and any point on what she did for her son (my husband) at the age that my son is at right now. For example she said "OK you HAVE to started him on flash cards NOW, I started my son at this age." Which I kinda do, I talk to my son, and we watch shows where he learns about words, but apparently that's just not cutting it for her standards! Next, I told her about the advice a friend gave me to help my son when he's older (when it comes to dealing with getting shots). I told her that I was planning on rewarding my son with a trip to get icecream after getting his shots, so he would have something to look forward to and not make the event that scary. I mean it was something my mom did for me,but of course this does not sound ok for MIL. She tells me "well I have a friend who rewarded her children for everything they did with food and not they're overweight." Did I say I was going to reward him for everything with food?! Uhm, NO! It drives me nuts, it's her way or the highway! This really does not make me feel comfortable with her babysitting my son. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to parent him her way even if I said not to. OH! Then she disapproves of the show that my son LOVES to work. It's freaking "Yo Gabba Gabb" it's not like I'm letting him watch "South Park"! GET OVER YOURSELF WOMAN! Your way is not perfect! I mean she tells people that her son (my husband) was a horrible child, just because he would decide he didn't want to do something that she wanted him to do. REALLY?! UHM, yeah what a "horrible" child. *rolls eyes* Now, she was hinting on moving in with us to save money. HELL NO! I can't handle one day with her let alone 24/7! I think I would go nuts. She's the type of woman who expects that since I'm a stay at home mom that I should be teaching my child anything and everything all day damn. How the hell am I supposed to keep the house clean and keep myself sane? I can not wait til my son is older so I can just be proud that my way of parenting worked. I mean so far I feel I'm doing a great job. He's sitting up sooner than other kids, he's talking Baby Talk like crazy, and he seems to be on track as his doctor says.
Now back to being a housewife & stay at home mom.
