UGH…

So… Life after a baby… everything as far as Kailey goes everything is great. Shes a really good baby. Its just amazing how fast shes growing. The only issue that I am having is family. And I know the only people that read this is family and you’re wondering what the problem could be. I just feel like as much as everyone in the family loves Kailey, some people treat her almost like a toy to be looked at and passed around. I feel like nobody gives a damn about Brian or me anymore, all they care about seeing is Kailey and while I love the support, I am her mother, I went through 9 months of pregnancy and labor pain and nobody cares as long as they get to hold Kailey. I am not trying to be selfish at all but no one is thinking. Its 30 to 40 degrees outside, cold and flu season and the only thing everyone can think about is whether or not were going to be at their house for Thanksgiving so the family who have never seen her, or called or came by to check on any of us, can pass her around like a baby doll. I do not want her to be passed around with the germs and the people who obviously dont care or they would have at least called. I dont want her to get sick and while I know she will, I dont feel like passing her around will help prevent it any. And then theres people making huge deals out of nothing. Ok, Im at home all day by myself with a one month old and people expect me to always be able to answer the phone if they call and in case no one knows, it doesn’t always work that way. Not only do I have a baby, I have a home, school, and a husband, so please give me a break. I always call everyone back when they call me and if you feel the need to be childish and not answer or call me back dont blame anyone but your self. Im sorry. I am by no means trying to hurt anyones feelings, I just want some consideration. I just want people to think about Brian and I and not just Kailey. Again, I love the support everyone has for her but remember, Im her mother and Brian her father and we make the rules, we no longer follow your rules and everyone knows by now that I am tempermental; I can let you in or completely shut you out. And lastly, Kailey is NOT a play thing or a toy… she is MY daughter!!
