Every since I got pregnant with my son in 2014, my mother has been fighting me tooth and nail on just about everything!! It drives me crazy and I can't understand why. We fought about how I wanted to breastfeed(still complains about this because I want to BF this new Lo), we fought about my delivery (ended in a csection, she fights me about the epidural I DIDN'T want), we fought about his name for goodness sake! Ok yes, Prince is a cute name but I couldn't see my boy as a Prince. She even suggested we add Prince in front of his first name. Who needs 4 names? ( not bashing anyone who does, DH and I just thought it was a bit much for two first names). We fight about doctors orders. I.e. if meds say twice a day, I should give it to him 3 times in slightly smaller doses and how the doctor doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure he went to MED school when you didn't. We argue about him constantly wearing shoes. No one constantly wears there shoes at home at some point, we all go barefoot, even her! If he's napping, of course I'll take off his shoes, I can't even sleep in shoes. Its always a tug of war with her.
Low and behold I'm having a girl and the war has begun. First problem she has is that we're going to Disney in just 2 weeks. This trip was planned Waaaay before I knew I was pregnant and it's already paid for. Her argument is, we should be buying things for the baby not the trip. Ok yes true but again this was already planned and our boys (son and step son ) are excited to go. We still have time to prepare for baby. Second issue, one I saw coming, is her name. We liked Faith Avery, simple and nice. NOT TRYING TO NAME BASH but all the names she came up with just didn't fit. I've never met a girl/woman named Lovely. When I hear Princess I think of someone calling their dog. AGAIN NOT NAME BASHING, it's just not us. She's stuck on us using names SHE'S thought of because I didn't use her pick for my son. Its MY child! How does she feel she has a right to name them? Its beyond frustrating. We're also fighting my wanting to have a vbac and use a midwife, something she doesn't believe in. Like goodness woman, it's MY body, MY baby. I just don't want to be cut again, why is that so hard to understand?!?!
Vent over....Wooooooooooooosaaaaaaw
