AIBU or is my baby?

[SanityLossComplete]

DS refusing to nap today and barely slept last night too. Far too much fun being awake it seems, any attempt at lying down or leaving to play on mat by himself goes down like a lead balloon cue lots of crying.

I, whilst enjoying lots of baby cuddles, would like to maybe eat today or treat myself to a shower and undisturbed use of the bog.

Who's being unreasonable?

YANBU - because children are put on this earth to test your sanity.

YABU - who needs to use the toilet anyway

🥴

Can i just say, don't get a dog.

I'm speaking as someone who successfully survived the toddler and teen years of my D.C., then managed to acquire a high needs dog that now supervises trips to the loo, instead.

I’d set some very clear boundaries and if that doesn’t work definitely go NC

YANBU - mostly because your Thread Title made me laugh.

Can I log it with 101 or too far?

Tbh, I learned how to do almost everything while wearing a sling. Except for showering. Instead, I learned how to feel guilty and block out noise for several minutes while attempting to get clean.

If you have one of those delightfully vomity babies, it will get better in a few months when they don't feel the need to be upright all the time due to returning their milk for a refund every two nanoseconds. x

My DC are long since grown but I did leave them to cry long enough to use the toilet!
Babies are unreasonable and then you miss that when they are older
I now have Velcro cat

YABU. How dare you be so selfish as to think you can eat or use the toilet?? As for a shower what do you think this place is, a spa?

I remember having a dodgy tum with newborn DS, I picked up him and his Moses basket (just the basket part) and pretty much ran up the stairs. I had to sit him in it in the bathroom to use the loo but he wasn't happy with that situation so I had to cuddle him while I was on the loo. He spend a lot of time in the sling until I'd finished my course of antibiotics. Such a glamorous life.

Babies are incredibly unreasonable. My three week old was completely refusing to be put down the other day, and DH said that he has a biological imperative to be a pain to remind you he's there so we don't just accidentally wander off and leave him to be eaten by wolves, which is probably true but also annoying because there are no wolves in our house.

I would say they get more reasonable but the low point of the day was the baby crying at the same time as his older brother cried because he couldn't actually fly while pretending to be a plane, so it would be a lie. They do stop objecting to being put down, though, which is an improvement!

LOL @laudete
I have one of those vomity ones, the ferocity of the milk return was a sight to behold
I also think she returned more than she took on some occasions!

😂😂

Yabu. Next you'll be offering the poor thing cutted up pear. Don't you know your sole purpose on this earth is to oblige his every whim?

LTB

In this instance it’s leave the baby. Just for five minutes while you attend to yourself. They will forgive you eventually.

Babies are VVVU

I'd report to SS first before involving the police.

@Holly60 🤣🤣🤣

Velcro baby here too. I managed to make my toastie today without too much drama at my departure from living room, but while sitting on me while i ate he was determined to share it with me. Wee mouth opened like a baby bird (he's 8m).

Are you allowed to sleep in peace at least?

Just wait till they can walk then they push open the door to the downstairs toilet.... let themselves & the dog in just in time for father in law to walk passed........

Bloody unreasonably these DC
