Warning - long post!
I'm a relatively new mum... I have a 2 year old DD who, while being the light of my life has never been a good sleeper which means she's a gremlin anytime sleeps involved..
She goes to bed around 630ish because she simply can't stay awake any longer as she will NOT nap during the day... (Yes I've tried it all) I'm losing my marbles.
My friend, former best friend (have fallen distant since DD was born) constantly offers me advice on anything to do with DD. Very blatantly obvious advice. Have you tried putting her to bed later, have you tried day time naps, Yada Yada... I'm a single first time mum so I'm far from knowing it all but I'm not completely without some knowledge of what my girl needs. My friend isn't a mother, and yet still comments on how 'easy it must be to stay home all day'....
Quick back story before I open up to being told I'm being a sook! On the day I told her I was pregnant, she burst into tears (of what I thought were happiness - wrong) and her first words were "I want to be happy for you but this is just devastating for me"... She'd divorced 2 years prior and has always wanted kids so I guess the idea that I was having a baby was upsetting to her... And I get that but I'll never get over those words.
So here's the question. AIBU because I'm a bitter cow who can't forget? Or is it generally just frustrating to be offered advice from someone repeatedly who hasn't been through what you are going through on a daily basis???
Thanks

AIBU to be frustrated with friends constant advice OR am I subconsciously just bitter *back story*
