You know when parenthood isn't fun?

When your daughter feels shitty from the shots she got at the doc and wakes up at 2:00 a.m. and cries until 6:00 a.m. and there's nothing you can do to make her comfortable or feel better and she just lies there fussing and crying and you can't sleep because you hear her pain and you have to be at work at 8:00 and it makes you type a long fucking run-on sentence.

That's when.
 
Amen brother. I too come from many a day of sleepwalking through weeks at a time and realizing a month or a seaon has passed. LOL.

Heck..I'm doing it right now. :)
 
She's never cried the way she did when she got those shots. It took me a good 15 minutes to get her to calm down and then she'd start right back up. She sounded terrified.
 
Feel you times 4. Is this the one where she got shots in both arms and her leg? I was really awfull I suppose because I would get their ears pierced at the same visit - I think it was 2month but it was 12 years ago so I don't remember honestly.

How old is she now?...

One thing that always helped my son when he was younger was this lil bear thingy that when you turned it on would sound like the mothers heartbeat from inside the womb..That thing would always calm him down, can't remember what they're called though.
 
you know when else? when you find out that your 12 year old, who naturally looks 15, is dating some emo dweeb who DID just turn 15. or when your 17 year old starts driving and is also dating a 15 year old who looks 19. or when your 18 year old is away at college and going through money like water. or BEER.

It was her 4 month checkup and she got 2 shots in her thigh. She was already uncomfortable and wound up because the doc said she had a bit of wax buildup in her one ear and he used some little plastic scraper to get it out. That got her screaming but I was able to get her calmed down after a bit. Last night just sucked because I could just tell how uncomfortable she was and I couldn't do a thing.

Tell you what, it really tests your patience. I had to go upstairs for a bit and just breathe I was getting so frustrated. I hate not being able to just fix everything.

Yeah, but they're boys so it's all good. Unless it'd be my daughter.
 
It sucks. Amazing, the empathy we feel for our children and willingness to do anything to make it stop. Some things we can't. I'm sure she'll be over it soon.

When you have this feeling (men always want to fix things) take deep breath and walk away.

No one likes it when their child is in pain, but there is an expression in my language, "It is better that you should cry now (meaning the child) than I should cry later (meaning the parent)." In other words our children will have to go through many things that will make them cry, but WE KNOW that if they don't then the child's future will be very sad indeed. When I applied this thought my emotions were less of frustration and more of "calm because we just gotta get through this unpleasantness. It WILL end."

... oh yea and what Stiletto said! LOL

agreed...There were a few times my son would be so upset it seemed impossible to get him to calm down, my wife would get very upset and frustrated, and I would just have to tell her to go into the other room and calm down and let me take care of it. When you find yourself getting to that point it's best to take a step back and get yourself calmed down too.

Where was your wife during all this?

Yeah, I've been doing that lately when she just fusses for no reason other than she's tired and is staying awake to fuss. It felt different this time because I know she was actually suffering instead of being rammy. Either way I know I need to let her work it out. Same as when she gets frustrated when I have her lay on her belly for her exercise. She's getting strong though.

LOL Good... I remember them doing the "airplane" before they could roll over or begin to crawl. My one daughter used to do this thing we called "the swim". We would call her GI Jane because she sorta dragged her back legs while using her whole upper body to pull herself around. Last I saw this child she literally TOWERED over me. LOL

This past weekend I put her down for her nap when she didn't seem to think it was time yet. So I put her down, closed the door, cleaned a couple of bathrooms, and took a shower. I went in and checked on her and she had dragged herself to the opposite side of her crib and was laying on her side with the blankets everywhere. She's going to be such a handful.

LOL That reminds me of my oldest. When she was about 1 or so she would do this thing where she would throw EVERYTHING out of her crib: her blanket, her soft toys, she would undress and throw her jamas out and when she finally had nothing left to do she would start calling for us to come get her. She did this like clockwork EVERY MORNING for goodness knows how long. We would videotape it and every single morning when we came in she had this shocked look on her face and wave her arms and make babywords as if to say, "Well lookee here mami, that shit just up and jumped outta my crib! It must have been the space aliens when I was sleeping!"

:lmao:

None of my younger three did that, only my oldest.
 
Plastic Scraper?
WTF!?

Don't forget since she has no prior experience with anything new her reactions will always be greater, regardless of the emotion.

Since we're adults we have all experienced bad situations or felt pain we can rationalize the experience and know that it will end eventually - she does not. So her cries are more than just the pain but that the pain is what will always be for her and that is what frightens her.

Just do the best you can and remember that this too will end and make for another new experience you will both share together.

:rose:

judging from the sour look on my father's face, every moment he was around his children.

Plastic scraper sounds rougher than it was. He just tried to dislodge what was in there and she wasn't used to it. The only thing that goes in her ears are these baby q-tips that are so big they don't go all the way into my ear. Mostly just to dry them after a bath.

yes, i hear ya.
i posted my son's prom picture and every other response (from mods too... ) was about him "hitting that" (his date) and other unecessary comments. Yes, that's my son, and there's a double standard, and I know he's not a virgin, but i'm still his mother and that is still my kid.

Since I would humiliate, then ban, then humiliate again anyone who said anything negative about my daughter, i'm sparing someone the temptation of even going there.
 
damn. My boy cried but was consoled fairly easily, then he slept for about 4 hours afterwards.

I know how you feel bro. Sucks. Bikinimom had some good advice though.
