Hehe, sounds like the kind of thing I go through with my mom. She's so damn contrary. For example: my older sister was the clingy baby and could never be put down. She's 21 months older than me. So I'm pregnant again and these babies will be about 18 months apart.
Mom: You're going to have to put her down eventually, you're not going to be able to keep carrying her when you get farther along.
Me: Yeah. Because I'm sure you didn't pick up Amanda when you were pregnant with me.
Mom: *silence*
Because I'm starting to show already and will probably be even more huge than last time:
Mom: I think you're too small to have babies.
Me: Yeah, mom. Cause you're HUGE.
[she is 5'2" and 100 lbs soaking wet. I have an inch and about 20 pounds on her]
After a zillion comments about how Em needs to be eating more solid food and nursing less:
Me: So, we're night-weaning, it's going pretty good so far.
Mom: *pause* But... how is she going to get enough milk?
[she's a year old and eats and nurses like a horse all day long... she's fine for 7 hours]
That and she just always has to make some critical comment about what she's eating, what she's wearing, what she's doing. Nothing important, just annoying. Like the other day when we were visiting and I give Em some cut up peaches and cheerios for lunch. She's all "Why don't you ever give the child some meat? Can't she eat fish?" Me: "She does. All the time." Her: *grumble grumble*
Oh and she's all rolling her eyes that I want to make a cake for Em's birthday party that isn't loaded with sugar and crap.
Mom: "YA'LL had real cake on YOUR first birthdays, and you absolutely loved it."
Me: "Well mom, I tell you what, next time YOU have a baby, you can feed it
whatever you want."
At least she did laugh at that one. She should, I get my smart mouth from her.
