My Mother is Irritating 🙄
I just had my son four weeks ago yesterday. I do still live with my parents, only because I am 17 years old and I do have to finish high school, BUT ANYWAY. Often he is very fussy at night. He screams and cries and refuses to eat sometimes. If he cries hard and long enough my mom will find her way to my room and take him from me, and ask me all sorts of questions as if I haven't tried to soothe him. she asks "Has he eaten?", "Do you think his tummy hurts?", etc. She'll stay in my room for a good 10-15 minutes rocking him & walking around in my room with him, and later just walk out with him and takes him to her room and keeps him for the night. ( Mind you, I breastfeed him so when he's not with me she gives him formula ). She also call him "her baby" as if she had him. When she talks about him she says "My baby .. this. My baby .. that". Also, i'm here with him alone 5 days a week for 12 hours a day until my parents get home from work. Everyday she comes from worm she tries to wake him from his sleep, touch on him, and make unnecessary noise to get some movement out of him while he's sleeping. She always takes him from me, even if hes calm, cool, and collected. ITS IRRITATING. I know my child, I know what he wants, it's just sometimes he gets fussy and he's hard to deal with when he wont nurse and is kicking around. I do everything for my child, just as any mother would and she always acts as if i'm dumb or completely clueless. I don't care how young I am, I am just the same as any other mother with a bit more responsibility. Everyday we go for walks, I use my baby carrier with him while I do chores around the house, I do school work as much as I can, I was his clothes, I do so many tasks around the house everyday and all she does is talk to me like IM the baby. Like I don't know how to take care of my child. I honestly wish she would let me care for my child, instead of believing he's "her baby" or taking him away from me like she's his mother.
