Sd27 and grandbaby left yesterday, and I made it through! I was ultra sweet to her and the baby so so cute, but she is still her and she still demands a lot from dh while she's here and dh ended up being the baby sitter all the time, more like the dump zone. They tried it on my and I was a sucker the first day but then would disappear into my room when a comment was made about having to do this or that, I'd quickly and quietly slip upstairs! The baby though cute was colicky so that made for a lot of just sitting and watching someone bounce the baby or walk the floor with him or whatever and to be honest, I sure as hell am glad my kids are teens! Been there done that and sure did not want to get stuck holding a crying baby for hours. Sd seemed to think when she got here she could pass the bottles and diapers off on me and sleep and shop the whole time. I think she was shocked that I was not available as much as she wanted and dh was sick on the couch most of the time. She did prop baby on his shoulder a lot but when he started fussing too much she'd have to take him. I did take her shopping and she immediately started bath mouthing her dad to me and this time I had the guts to tell her I don't want to hear it b/c I love her dad. Dh did not raise her b/c she is from a previous marriage to the one with my two ss's mom. I am his third, oh wonderful huh? Anyways, the visit went fairly well but once she was gone yesterday dh and I just sat and enjoyed the quiet house for awhile!
