RANT BECAUSE I CAN
Look let's face it we all parent differently, all think our kids are THE BEST, MOST PERFECT....I however cannot STAND my aunt for this. She was an alcoholic who ABANDONED HER DAUGHTER AND GOD DAUGHTER....Okay, and my cousins grandparents raised her. I love my cousin we have always been like opposite or "competitive". One was always better than the other. We lost contact because of her mother. Just in recent years have we actually gone out (1x) and chatted. She is outgoing, busy body, has a fiance who works and pays for it all, his family is rich etc etc....am I jealous OF COURSE...I have always been "lower class" poor folk lol. I didn't have family who helped me out I had family who put me down and still does. Her mother being one of them who does.
We had our kids two months apart, and we are a month apart so it was very special and cool for us. HOWEVER....I post on my Facebook about my son the things we try and pictures of him (in diaper or dressed, in my bed or playing etc) and my aunt comments on about everything. How I shouldn't buy baby food but do it like my cousin and make it, how my son needs more veggies (he eats carrots, green beans, has tried green peppers and of course baby food veggies) but she insists my child needs more FRESH veggies because my cousins daughter eats avocado and squash and broccoli....and my son shouldn't be eating spaghetti o's ever or hot dogs, he should sleep in his bed (made that mistake and he got a toddler bed for his birthday so gonna try it since he hates the crib), how he shouldn't sit on my bed he should be on the floor (when I'm sitting with him)...I'm currently 30 weeks with a girl and ordered a co sleeper that turns into a bassinet, I heard it was easier for those who breastfeed. I posted the bed because it's absolutely cute and I'm excited, and she says she is happy but disagrees with her sleeping with me.....SHE WON'T EVEN BE IN MY BED.....UUUUGGHH. I apologize for the long rant but this woman seriously drives me nuts.
