Attitude.
There's a lot of attitude around our house lately. And much of it is coming from our youngest family member. But don't worry, some of it is still coming from me.
So this is just a little blog entry about how I have been really pissed at those of you who ever wished a difficult baby on me. If you want to call me today or even tomorrow, it might not be the best idea. I wouldn't wish a difficult baby on ANYONE. It is an emotional, exhausting, and humbling experience that has all but robbed me of any bit of self-confidence I ever had as a mother. I am now convinced that I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
Yeah so maybe I'm being a little dramatic. But just a little. I'll get over it.

Oh, I wouldn't wish a difficult baby on anyone either! Just as a ray of hope, Megan (my 2nd) was colicky too but once it ended she slept perfectly and was a very easy toddler (until she turned 5 and the drama hit!). I hope she gets easier soon. Having a tough baby takes all the fun out of it. And then you look back and feel bad that you didn't enjoy her more--but how can you?! Good luck.
Just think how much your learning from your sweet little one ;) And you'll be an expert on babies in no time. I'll fly you down to take care of mine when my cranky one comes along.
Poor Babe! I promise I wasn't one of those who wished that on you! Hang in there....now you should have a 3rd and you'll think they are a total angel! (:
Are you kidding me? Any woman who squirts a baby out of her va-jay-jay and the commits to love, support and care about the damn thing has my 100% support in anything she wants to whine about. Not all of us have the giant lady balls it takes to do what you have done.
I'm sorry your wee one stresses you out. Maybe this means she'll be a good teenager....?
And you had a crappy pregnancy, too. I'm sorry, girlfriend. I'm only a phone call away and a short drive up the 1-15 if you need to be rescued.
I am thinking about getting my tubes tied. You and Andrea both had hard second pregnancies followed by hard girls. I'm sorry you're stressed. I love you!
Heck. I understand. I have a very difficult toddler at times. Well, most of the time. He's just always going, and never stops. But, you'll get used to it!
Commiserating with you Kate. I just keep telling myself that they won't be like this forever. Yeah, and then it hits me that they'll eventually be teenagers and I want to pick up drinking just to console myself. We'll get through it right?
LOLOLOL and before I hit post I just had to tell you that the word verification was "cowjrk". LOL! Just tell Tori to stop being a little cowjrk (cow jerk)!
The world is full of extremes, dear. Hot and cold, good and evil, Charlotte and Victoria. It's just the universe's way of balancing itself. You're an amazing mother - rest assured I will be asking you for help one day!
Hey Kate, don't feel bad. I have Ayden, and while he's not what most people would call a difficult baby, he's hard on me. Maybe I'm just a pansy, but I digress. I find babies hard in general. Hats off to you and good luck. I hope she gets better for you!
