E woke up 10 minutes after I put her down. I refused to nurse her and she was pissed and bit my face before spending a few seconds sucking on my chin. She gave me a damn hickey. L was trying to suck on my face today too! He grabbed my face with his hands then tried to eat my nose, cheeks, whatever. I was like wtf dude?! He’s never done that before. He know where the milk comes from.

Why is it that I would never in a million years open a full size snickers by “that’s just way too much for me” yet I will eat a bag of bite size snickers in like two days?? 100% me. Same thing when I see those giant cookies and think I shouldn’t eat it all at once, but I’ll eat 8 regular sized cookies without a second thought.

This just reminded me I have a box of girl guide cookies in the freezer. Woo!

Yeah, Fitbit, I’m sure that will solve the wake up problem 🙄 I’m glad the night went well! It really is so nice to get out once in a while. Hopefully you guys can make it happen more often!

Only one wake up for miss A last night! (Well two if you count the one before I went to bed). Mush better than the 3-4 she’s been doing the last few weeks.
Also... G turns 3 today. What?! My babies aren’t allowed to grow up so fast.

You know what I really hate? The baby has been waking for a feed at 8:00 pm, then every 3 hours, so usually 11pm and again at 2 or 3. Now he’s waking at 8 but letting me settle him back to sleep (yay!) but then waking for a feed at 10 and again at like 3. So better nights on paper, except I’m now getting significantly less sleep since I can’t fall asleep before the first feed and then can’t fall back asleep after the last feed. So I’ve gone from getting 6-7 hours of broken sleep to 4, 5 if I’m lucky. I’m so friggen tired.

And stress and anxiety through the bloody roof about our living situation or lack thereof. Our current house closes in a couple of weeks so we’re off to MIL’s which isn’t terrible really, but is going to be cramped and stressful for me, plus means boarding the cat for quite awhile (goodbye money). In my head it was going to be ok because I could “count down” because of course we’d have a house lined up just be at MiL’s while we wait to close.
But now looking like we will move into MIL’s with no house and no timeline and I don’t know how to be ok with that? It just makes me cry. Which is not helped by sleep deprivation and packing stress.
Yesterday we were clearing out MIL’s spare room for DS1 to sleep in and the sheer level of mess and junk overwhelmed me. Then SIL had a go at me for “going through her stuff” (boxes of toys she has left there for literally 10 years, I just asked her if she wanted the boxes). Then, MIL kept feeding my kid chocolate when I said no more. She cannot say no to my kid. Then I’m the asshole when she takes it back from him “mummy said no”.
Fuck.
Sorry for the whinging novel.

I am so sorry nevertoomanyshoes. Buying a selling a home is stressful enough as it is. Adding in a MIL can’t make it any easier. I hope you guys find the right house soon and that your time at your MIL’s is short.

Thanks. I just heard back and we didn’t get the house even though our offer was the highest. I’m gutted.

I’m so sorry nevertoomanyshoes, that is extremely stressful. Vent away. I hope your perfect house pops up soon. My BIL & SIL went through the same thing last year. It took s couple months but their perfect house found them. They were super excited to get out of MIL’s house 😂

This has been just the most stressful house hunting and your SIL can get fucked with that nonsense. Take your shit if you want it then. Good lord. I really hope this is temporary for you and you guys find a house soon.

It’s so damn frustrating. If we didn’t have kids, I wouldn’t be bothered at all about living at MIL’s. As much as she loves and adores my kids and we get along well, she is infuriating as a grandparent in a lot of ways if that makes sense.
