If you want to see the baby, you need to come to me?
FTM here – I have a 4.5 month old and I feel like getting out of the house can be almost impossible. He doesn’t like his car seat much, can only be awake for like 1.5 hours max or else he’s losing it, has FOMO so getting him to go to sleep in the car or out of his environment is an extreme fucking spot, still eats every 2 hours, etc etc. However, my in-laws complain often that they don’t see him enough and that we need to come over more so they can see our son. When we do go over there it ends up just being so stressful because he’s happy for maybe 30-45 mins by the time we get him up, get dressed, get him fed, and arrive there, then it’s nap time again, and it’s just really hard to get him to nap in different environments. He’s also a chronic short napper (like will not sleep past 30-45mins). They live 5 mins away from us, but will not come over to our house despite us telling them how much easier it would be if they came to us. Every time we go to their house and our LO gets fussy we get the dreaded comment of “oh he’s just not around us enough, he’s not used to us, he needs to come over more.” Which makes me ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BALLISTIC. Like I’m not trying to be a little demanding bitch, but I feel like if we have an infant, you should be coming to us, ya? Am I just being dramatic, lol? Should I just be able to tote my 4 month old everywhere no prob? via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/3PXDq6z
