well, now i am once again at home with no adults around to talk to LOL. DH had to go in to work today for a meeting 
so, i need to vent! not about him 
my mom came in this past week to help Dh out ( mostly with getting kids to and from school and dinner on the table). she and i don't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff. one reason i don't really like/ want help from family is because of this not seeing eye to eye on things. my mom wants to help and therefore she does, but since she doesn't like the way *I* do things she comes in and makes changes. and they are changes *I* don't care for!
the way things go in this house works really well for us. we have our own way of doing things, but in the end everything gets taken care of without fights and issues. my mom calls me "persnickety?" sp?? and yet she thinks the way i do things is wrong or that i don't care................ i was really annoyed listening to some of the stuff she was saying about my kids clothes, hair, our bed time routine, and stuff like that. at one point she told DH she was going to go buy us cloth napkins, which we already have a ton of. WHY you ask? because she doesn't like the rags the girls grab to wash their hands and faces and sometimes the table. they are just washclothes that we keep in the kitchen. they are totally multipurpose. she HATES the fact that we use cloth wipes too. and she thinks it makes more sense to use disposable wipes and then flush them down the toilet ( which you are NOT supposed to do). but using a wet cloth wipe on a child is just gross and she is put out by it. my middle DD loves using cloth velour wipes. she doesn't want a sposie wipe or TP. so my mom is telling her she is wrong for liking them. it's just stupid stuff like that.
i hate being undermined.
my dad's wife is coming in on wed. and i'm freaking out already LOL. at least she has said she KNOWS it's hard to let someone else in your house, yada yada. i am not in love with her as a person and i've never had to deal with her one on one like this, but at least she knows she is going to be here to do most of the driving and errand running. and i know she won't come in and tell me i'm raising my kids wrong. PLUS, my dad will be in on sunday so i only have to deal with her alone for 3 days.
on a positive note my inlaws probably won't be out this way until the end of october and they will only stop by for a visit. i won't have to worry about dealing with my MIL and her totally ignoring me LOL.
WOW that is really long. thanks for reading if you got through it all!! i told DH i'm going to buy the books about toxic parents and inlaws.

) b/c mil is out of town until Thursday and that way I can have my very own baby moon without her ass on my couch for two days straight. Dh thinks I'm silly, but she's the only one that feels she has that right. Anyone else comes over and they are gone within a short time, usually no longer then an hour. And then she practically begs to stay the night to help us....UH NO WAY! We didn't let her last time and I'm also willing to say this time "go home please" way before she over stays her welcome. This is prob. the last time I will do this and I am not going to let anyone interfere with my family and our babymoon! SO THERE!!
