The "It's Okay" & "Everyone else survived" Logic RANT

Amanda

I LOATHE this crap! It seriously makes me rage. If I have rules or ways of raising my child that I want other people to follow, even if it seems insignificant...freakin follow them! I've had this come up several times.

Example: my mother wanting to wash my daughter's face with a moldy/musty smelling sink towel...both my SO and me tell her no and she just laughs and tries to continue it. Seriously...why is it so hard for other people to just listen, realize YOU are the parent and LISTEN.

Another example: I hate milk film on bottles, call me stuck up but it just seems nasty. I use a different soap that prevents it and I asked my mother to use it...she took care of my daughter for 5 days while we were in the hospital and our bottles were all milk tinted and smelled like apples. She totally disregarded how I wanted something done and said "well you didn't die from us using normal dish soap so..." OKAY stop right there. This isn't about her f*cking dying, I asked you to do something and you purposely didn't. Instead of getting on ME about wanting something done a certain way why don't you actually listen and realize some people do things differently.

Don't even get me started about my MIL telling me it's okay for my daughter to play with her dirty sandles and jewelry...like uh she puts everything in her mouth. Just stop it! STOP IT!!! Oh you're shocked she is about to break your bracelet and won't just wear it? She's a freakin 1 year old!

LISTEN TO THE PARENTS! IT IS NOT YOUR CHILD!
