My mom = obsessed TIPer
O. M. F. G.
DH went out of town on business and my mom came in to visit / "help" with DS.
For the love of every-fvvcking-thing holy, she will not stfu about drama on some forum that she posts on. Some chick she's friends with got banned. At 9am she got online and found out, sent some messages like I'll deal with this later because I'm too busy right being all important and having a grandbaby and has been on the computer / iPhone about it since. And everytime, she's like "I'm not dealing with this right now" WHILE she's participating in it.
I don't know which is more annoying, the constant attachment to it or the rants about how she's done with it.
"Oh, but they said [blah blah blah] so I have to respond."
NO YOU DON'T.
I leave the room to get some laundry done this afternoon, ask her to watch the baby and immediately hear her fvvcking typing. Then hear the baby fussing... and then crying and then screaming. And I'm just thinking "umm.... watch the fvvcking baby?" So as I give up and go to get the baby, she starts to reach for him and is like "Oh, are you Mr. Grumpy Pants?"
No. He's not Mr. Grumpy fvvcking Pants, he's 5 months-old and sitting by himself without anything to grab, look at, interact with. If I hear one more thing about that forum, my head is going to explode. I know these people's names now AGAINST MY WILL.
Are people really this obsessed with internet forum drama? I feel like I've gotten my lifetime supply of TIP.
And she keeps trying to feed my kid shiit. No, he doesn't need you to feed him BUTTER. And I don't need her bringing up that I didn't let her feed him butter again and again and again. While she was eating dinner, she gave him a big finger full of sweet and sour sauce while I was like "wait... WTF is she doing?" and then thought it was so funny.
STOP STICKING SHIIT IN MY KID'S MOUTH!
Fvvck. After talking for a half hour about how she is done with this garbage and is turning off her phone, she just turned it back on after FIVE minutes. Seriously.
GET OVER IT!
/dies and not in a funny cute way
EDIT: I just googled a bit for the forum domain and blocked access through my router. Why didn't I do that sooner?
Re: My mom = obsessed TIPer
It's overdone, yet still a classic...
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
I think that is a fair assessment. :-)
I've heard that I was an awful baby. I'm starting to think that might having something to do with her STIMULATE STIMULATE STIMULATE WHY IS IT CRYING? STIMULATE STIMULATE STIMULATE style of parenting.
*snicker* Maybe I was.
Bwhahahahahaha.
lol!
