Okay, so I went back to work yesterday. Sorry, this is going to be a long rant. We’re lucky enough that the grandparents watch our babe every day. My in laws 4 days a week since they’re both retired and my parents 1 day, as they still farm full time. On top of it, they are also all coming to our house to watch her and I’m able to come home at lunch to visit as my job is only 6 miles away. Yes, I know how extremely blessed we are with the situation and that’s why maybe I just need put in my place and told to calm down because I have the luxury of this so deal with being annoyed 😂. I should also note that as much as they annoy me, I adore my in laws and they adore our daughter.

So today, day 2, at lunch (1pm) I saw they had only fed her 2 times. I asked if she had been sleeping a lot as they tend to hold and rock her all the time, which is her perfect sleeping environment that we’ve had to get on them about reminding them she doesn’t need the entire day long. They proceed to say no, she’s had a couple cat naps and played so we thought we’d let her go longer than 2 hours between feedings. She religiously still eats for my husband and I every 2 hours during the day; on the rare occasion she will nap longer and end up at 3 hours. I asked if she fussed or was she ok. They say yeah, she fussed so we just rocked her to back to sleep. Not at all thrilled but say ok, I’ll just feed her before I head back to work. So, I proceed to scarf down my lunch in order to do so and my MIL changes her diaper and comments how she pees all the time. I comment back that actually she doesn’t soak her diapers like she did now that she’s a bit older and don’t think anymore of it. I get home at 430 and see that the 8 diapers we had out for the day were all gone (I’m weird organized and have a little area where I have everything ready she’d need for the day). She makes the peeing comment a second time and snarks about how it’s a good thing they didn’t need to change her again because they were out (side note—I’ve shown them where I keep the packs). I ignored her. They leave and I work on dinner and need to empty the trash. For whatever reason they didn’t use the diaper genie so I go to move the diapers to it and pick up 3, yes 3, unsoiled diapers they had changed off her!! No wonder they went through all the ones I left out to use!! My husband will get home before me tomorrow so he is going to talk to them about the diapers cause that’s just crazy (we have an agreement that if we ever have an issue with her care we talk to or own parents about it), but are going to let the feeding issue go this time and see how it goes tomorrow as she’s fine this evening and doesn’t seem bothered or extra hungry from it. So I’m talking to my dad as he stopped in quick this evening and he asked who the company was today. We live on family property and their house is a 1/8 mile down the road so they saw an extra vehicle here. Come to find out they had my brother and sister in law to visit after I had left from lunch...I had no clue. Note that they had my 19 yr old niece over yesterday after I left from lunch and didn’t know either.

I guess is it normal to be super irritated and wanting to snap over diapers and family visiting without us knowing they’re in our house or am I just being a mom-zila? I admit that I am having a rough couple days with getting back to work but we can’t afford for them to waste diapers for an excuse to wake her up and hold her and even though it’s family I don’t care to have people at my house when I don’t know about it. Like I said, he’s going to talk to them about the diapers but do I just need to let the rest go? I don’t know, maybe I’m just being all hormonal and need to call the hell down. Ugh.
