You know when parenthood isn't fun?

[Bikini Mod]

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!"



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.

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.

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.

I'd peel someone's face off with a dull carrot peeler if they said shit about my kid.

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.
