I'm annoyed, but it's not their fault----my parents both have colds and "don't want to hold the baby"....several months ago (I think we booked in August?) we invited my parents to come to Hawaii with us. We said we'd pay their way with the understanding that they are there to help us babysit and help us enjoy our vacation as a family thoroughly. We intended on having my parents babysit at the beach while hub and I snorkel, take turns in holding/entertaining during meals so we can still enjoy eating out, etc. not their fault, but justified in being annoyed, right?
jennlin, I hope they feel better really soon and step it up! I would be somewhat annoyed. Hope you have a fantastic vacation!
It's nice to be getting back into normal routines here. DH has been great about cooking since I've been exhausted. I'm hoping in a few weeks I get some energy back and can do more around the house.
I was able to get some decent sleep last night despite M's horrible first tantrum. It was pretty epic compared to her normal. My friend stopped by for a bit to meet J and I realized with the new baby M is much more in peoples faces for attention. No matter how much we paid attention to her she just kept acting up for more to the point that it was out of control and nothing would get her to stop. Very frustrating especially when she doesn't listen or respond to consequences. Hopefully this passes quick.
