do you get this?

Hello! smile

Somethings that my family say really get under my skin. Here's some common ones.

- Nanna "it doesn't take long to do a few dishes luv"
NO, you're right it doesn't. But it does take a long time to wash a stack of dishes (I usually have to refill the sink twice sometimes more) and when you've also got to hang the washing, put another load on, sweep/vacuum, clean up after the last meal, feed the child without forgetting yourself, pick up all the toys, clean the sliding door because dd and friends decided to lick it and get yourself dressed etc.

-mother, father, Nanna "oh you'll have one of each then you dont need anymore kids"
Nobody NEEDS kids or a certain amount there of. But if I want a hundred children and can support them, I freaking well will! Oh and btw dies that mean if I have another girl you'll be ok with me having more children until I get a boy?

-family members who aren't close enough to see dd more than once a month "why can't I give her a chocolate? Dont you allow treats? You're a mean mummy not giving her cake" (there are more all junk food related)
DD HAS A NUT ALLERGY! Thats why you can't give her the freaking snickers bar! Dd does not like cake, if you try to give it to her she will yell "no" and push it away, we do not give treats, food is food so we have always foods and sometimes foods. Stick you're treat up your nose or ill show u how mean I can really be.

-random family friends "dont be stupid, pregnant women can eat whatever they want"
I don't even bother with an answer anymore I just say "its my body and if I want to put healthy food into it then thats not your business". I also want to poke my tongue out.

Do you get these types of comments?
What would you LOVE to say to those willy heads?

Yep I get the I'm a mean mummy for not giving treats. Excuse me if I want the best for my child & want to teach her how she needs to eat as she gets older!

My mum is a shocker for disregarding things I say and things I ask her to do if she has my kids. She thinks her way is best & won't listen to anything. That's almost worse than the stupid comments to me.

The best thing about having one of each is that people assume you're not having any more and don't bug you about the next one! (not yet anyway) hopefully it continues that way.

I can't believe your nanna says something about dishes! Next time she says it you should say "well in that case you wouldn't mind helping me out & doing them then!"

I hate when people make comments just trying to get you to say something. My sil always wants my 'opinion' on things but then gets narky when I actually give it to her. Obviously she wants me to say what she wants to hear. Whats the point in that?

Actually I can't stand people in general. I'm not very tolerant. I regularly want to say F off. Lol

Yep I get crap like that all the time. I hate the pregnancy ones the most at the moment! Thanks for telling me I'm massive (work colleague)

Thanks for telling me I'm too young to have kids (anyone and everyone)
''Breastfeeding is inbred and if I saw you do it in public I would vomit in your face and call you disgusting" (From a 'friend')

Don't know what to say except I love the willy faces!!!!! Made me laugh

Haha! Chalys great minds think alike. I was telling dh about it last night (because she said it twice in one visit recently) and I said next time ill tell her to do them.

Yes I hate hate HATE when people say "what do you think about this" and you tell them and next thing they act like you just randomly told them their hair stinks or that you think their pants make them look fat. Whats the point in asking? You boob!

I used to have a hard time biting my tongue,but im getting better. In highschool I used to get into all sorts of crap because id tell someone outright that they irritate me so much I just wanna literally shove a sock in their mouth. But I dint have trouble standing up for myself, or telling someone that something they're doing is annoying me.

The person who made the bf comment is absolutely a willy head! Lol.
Tell them if they dont stop dirtying your precious oxygen with their verbal diarrhea you'll have to start wearing a gas mask.

Ds1 Has a speach delay... We work really hard on it but it gets up my nose when I am constantly told "Snack his bum and make him talk!"

That's terrible!!!

At the moment I get a lot of comments from family regarding religious things . I'm quite happy to talk about all that stuff... but they very much point out that they think we've done the wrong thing by leaving the church, they don't even want to discuss with us WHY we left. My grandmother sent me an email that started off talking about the weather. Then asked how the kids were. Then went into a big speil on how people in their church are so blessed to be 'saved' from the rest of the world. They think anyone not in the church is going to hell. They're do bloody ignorant and I'm sorry to post this in here but you got me thinking about people saying things that irritate me! Lol

Oh and my mum said the other day that she bought a necklace to wear as a belt. They don't wear jewellery as a rule in their religion (even though they say there's no rules) ... and she says " its ok to wear it as long as its not around my neck." Wtf is the difference?! Jewellery is jewellery no matter where you put it, and if you're wearing scarves for decoration, matching your handbag with your highheels, putting sparkly things in your hair, wearing makeup its all the same thing! Argh!

......sorry!

Everytime I see MIL she tells me to start eating. I've lost quite a lot of weight and I'm skinny but I eat heaps and I'm breastfeeding. She says it so seriously it's annoying.

My mum is so annoying too, every single time she picks up DS she'll say "Oh his nappy's a bit full" "His socks are a bit tight" "He's a bit cold" or something else. Grrr so annoying!! And she always tries to make him taste stuff he shouldn't be eating like unhealthy things. I've had to tell her that she can't feed him anything unless she checks with me first. She always asks if she can put extra butter or olive oil in his food too, I always have to say no he doesn't need any of that.

DP always "asks" me to do things during the day and if I forget one thing or if the dishes aren't done he goes "What do you do all day" and he's serious too.

Thats so odd to me.
I dint have a religion but I do have beliefs. I think if someone wants to have a religion then fine but dont try and shove it down my neck. Although I do not like religion where it insights hostility.

I told a door knocker off once because they woke dd after I just spent half an hour getting her to sleep. After that I got a sign XD

I agree with the others, tell your nanna where the plug and dishwashing liquid is and say oh thanks so much for offering.

The food thing, I find saying in a big loud voice 'DON'T FEED THAT TO MY BABY' works smile and 'YES I AM A MEAN MUM WHATS IT TO YOU' does the trick also.

The whole 'what do you think about this' bugs me too. Why not say, hey can you please help me justify my stupid behavior? Don't tell me what you actually think though ok?

oh man. people f me off.

omg my mum does this too. Makes me crazy!!! She is always saying things like 'don't give him that!' when I give him finger food, she think he should still be on puree only and I'm like mum, he's my son I decide what he eats.

I also HATE it when Mil calls DS 'my little boy'. always stressing the MY. piss off - he's MY little boy. lol
