11-1-2010 - IN-LAWS GRRRRRR!

My mood while writing this blog: Irritated

---

Ok so I broke down and had a good cry this evening because I am sick of being pulled in every direction! Ok so the hubby's grandparents drive me crazy when I am there and when I am not there I have no idea what to do. When I am there they constantly pick at things like my daughters hair is too long it bugs her eyes and tickles her ears ok she is a girl and she is always going to have hair that touches her ears so I am not cutting it! Her hair is low on her forehead but most of the time i put it in pony tail on the top of her head so its not in her eyes. They live an hour from us and think that we should be out there every weekend and stay the entire weekend. Now both of us are in school both online and they do not have internet so we can't even take homework to do. I told them when we moved that we wouldn't be able to come all the time and they would have to come to our house at times but that has happened once in the year of living here. Maybe its the emotions of being pregnant but I would like to stay home without being hasseled for wanting to stay home and spend time with just our family. I am just ready to scream because every time i turn around i get calls when are you coming over and can you stay the night I want to sleep in MY bed and wake up to my hubby and daughter without having a million questions on why I am feeding her baby food and not the food off the table any ideas on how I can deal with this?

I have the same problems! I don't get why IL's are so bloody pushy! Mine are always commenting on how they haven't had Isabella stay overnight yet (she's 15 months and still nursing and wakes up quite frequently at night), they can't believe I let her feed herself and let her eat what we eat, they always comment that I am with my daughter 24/7 - ummmm, isn't that what a mother does??? They complain they don't see her enough - they live 20 mins away and come over twice a week - my parents live in Canada, we live in Greece and they NEVER complain they don't see her!!!! So imagine how they feel!!!! They criticise that we co-sleep, that we still nurse, that I spend all my time with her - I honestly thought that's what being a parent was all about!!! I guess in Greece it's not!!! Hang in there - I'd like to say it gets better but I've been taking it for 15 months now and it NEVER gets better! It causes problems between hubby and I because he thinks I over react - what can I do? I wish you all the best!!!! xox
