I need to vent, I'm sorry!
I lost it yesterday as my "friend" posted a facebook status saying she was so glad she didn't give her boy a dummy as she never misses a smile!
As a dummy giving Mother, I made a joke of saying, can kids with dummies not smile then?!
What started out as light-heartedness, suddenly turned into the most pathetic display with her sister and boyfriend joining in! Haha
Now I was never out to cause an arguement but in my opinion she was...
There is a big difference in "My boy has got a lovely smile" to "I'm glad I didn't give him a dummy etc" There's no need. It's like me saying "I'm glad I didn't wake up with a hangover this morning, must have been the alcohol I didn't drink yesterday!"
Now I may have over thought this but some more facts are...not a month ago she was asking ME if she should give her boy a dummy??
The month before that she asked me about sleep training as her boy doesn't sleep. I told her we did it for two days and have had no sleep problems since. That also went on facebook "I don't know how anyone can let there baby cry!"
I struggled with breastfeeding, hormone troubles and my daughter would latch but not suck, we had a BF councellor and alsorts and she saw me in tears over this. After we talked she posts...so glad I breastfed my boy, I've given him "the best start in life and all the comfort and love he deserves"
I could go on but the dummy was the last straw! It's like she's goading me. Each time she has asked my opinion it has always come with "but that's what we did, every parent is different!" so why she has to feel like she's got to lord over anyone I'll never know!
Am I so wrong to be so paranoid and wound up over it? I think it's appauling behaviour and if the shoe was on the other foot I would never dream of being so heartless?!
Sorry for the essay...needed to get that off my chest somewhere!!
