...and I'm done.
Today marks 1 month in the bed, post op. I've been OK, only having 1 or 2 mini meltdowns, but today I've just had it. MIL and FIL have cancled their trip to FL so they can watch DD and I appreciate that so much. Otherwise, it was going to be a mad dash to find childcare the last 2 weeks in Nov. But, I'm just tired of MIL in my house. She stays here so DD can sleep in her crib, but she talks so damn loud on her cell phone, even with the sound machine, DD can't sleep. She lets DD play with pens and half of her clothes have ink on them. She lets her take books into the crib so most are destroyed. She feeds her crap to eat all day long and DD isn't taking naps AT ALL. Her eyes are red and puffy by 2pm. What is setting me off big time is she is taking her to vote. I wanted to do that. I wanted to take my daughter to vote for her first time. It's silly but was important, but I can't say, "No" because MIL needs to vote and has DD with her so what is she supposed to do? Just so fed up. I just want my kid and my house back 
I also want DH to stop making delicious food that is causing me to gain all of my weight back lol

Re: ...and I'm done.
I'm sorry.
In-laws can certainly be both a blessing and a curse. I don't know what I'd do if I had MIL under the same roof with me for an extended period. I love her right to death, but I'm pretty sure she'd cramp my style in a major way.
Feel free to send the delicious food your DH is cooking my way. I'd be more than happy to take care of that problem for you!
*sigh* I know, she's helping, it's just so frustrating to have no control over anything and have no privacy because I just sit in the room and people come in and out whenever. I'm not a teenager so I can't say, "Go away!" LOL
Yeah, I know it sounds silly to complain about delicious food, he just loves pasta and potatoes. They are my (and my bum's) weakness too!
How's the new house going?
DH has come a long way with MIL, but is still non confrontational! He wrote her a note that said, "No pens please, crayons are easier to get out of clothes!" so that helped. But we realized MIL was giving DD books in her crib. One, she loves books so she wont sleep with them. She is the easiest kid to get to sleep, she is fine without things so don't give them to her. Plus, she destroyed a few good ones because of it.Now, or big battle is fruit. She is over feeding DD and then she wont eat her meals. Yes, fruit is healthy, but not as her only source of food and grapes have zero nutritional value as it is. I understood that my organic habits would fall to the wayside during this, but hot dogs and graham crackers are not my idea of a good lunch. I'm eating better with the cooler DH prepares for me every morning!
Yup, worst nightmare indeed! So wish my mom was up here or DH could stay home Was wonderful feeling at ease. Worst part is she is going to be worse when I am better. She'll miss DD and want to see her even more and I worked so hard all this time to ensure our privacy LOL
I would LOSE. MY. MIND. You are a trooper.
