*sorry in advance as this post is all over the place, I am writing as the thoughts come to me*
the truth: I am frustrated, tired, and have a migraine. My anxiety is running very high today...I let people get to me and I can't turn off my brain and I am sick and tired of literally being ignored. I had a panic attack in the middle of the night-which for me is worst cuz I get this claustrophobic feeling because it's dark out I guess. It was a bad one too.
I am not a know-it-all, but after raising 2 kids and helping raise 2 more kids now, I have a routine down - I know generally what to expect at what ages/stages, etc. but ....with that said
I have tons of homework to do, yet when they are tired of her, or need to give her a bath, it's "oh, hey, can you give her a bath while I get in the shower" ....yeah, sure. Cuz right now I really need that 100.00 to pay my car insurance and get gas in the car, so I will obey like a good little robot. Yes, you have me under your thumb.
SIL just HAD to go to Starbucks this morning; hesitated for a sec while the baby was crying on and on, turned to my brother like should I go or stay...he barked, "just go" ...
I KNOW what my solution is...I screwed myself. I keep telling myself to be patient, your turn is coming and that's about all that gets me through the seemingly endless days.
The baby has been crying almost all night long. Personally, from an 'outside the box' point of view, it may be colic or reflux. But when I suggest to the parents to try Gripe Water, they just ignore me.
Why do I even try to help out? I either get ignored, interrupted or given a dirty look. (literally)
I'm just trying to help. What I suggest doesn't mean they HAVE to ... just throwing out suggestions.
I know what'll happen: they will take the baby to the doctor and the doctor will probably say: "she's teething, she has reflux or she has colic" and suggest something like Gripe Water to the parents or similar.
THEN and only THEN will they do it.
I have lost count as to how many times I have simply suggested something to them, only to be ignored by them and then they end up spending money going to the doctor and come back with the same or similar solution as I said in the first place.
And NO I don't have all the answers, and NO I don't think that everything I say or do should be written in stone, but sometimes I might be onto something.
sorry...just oh I don't know, "oh beans and rice" !!
those are my swear words
*time to look at some funny sh*t online*
it could be worse.
