asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
My SIL that is.
So, next week we are sharing a room with her, her DH and her daughter. She called me yesterday to tell me that "She really doesn't want Christopher to wake Sophie up at night, so he'd BETTER sleep through the night".
NOW I just got an email from her saying that she was serious and if he wakes Sophie up (apparently she is a light sleeper) then I have to take care of both of them bc she and her DH aren't getting up because it is their vacation!
What do I say to that (besides take care of your own flucking kid!) he is 3 months old, sometimes I get lucky (like last night when he slept 9pm-6am and sometimes I don't and he wakes up 3x!) and she knows that!

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
tell he to shove it..seriously...
she has some set of knockers to even say that once rather than follow up with a freakin' email)
um, at 3 months Bella was still waking about once a night to eat, it's NATURAL...
let your DH deal directly with her...

Sophia is my neice (she calls her Sophie and I am trying to get used to it) she is 22 months old. You'd THINK someone who had a little kid would be more understanding!
I really can't ask for our own room, we don't pay anything for this house, DH's grandma does. There are 25 people going. All of the teenage cousins are sleeping in the movie theater. I don't think there is an extra room, my MIL and her gf are sleeping on an airmatterss in an upstairs den
Hmmm, maybe I should ask them to switch and DH and I can take the porta crib up there.....

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
OMG How rude!!! Babies wake up and babies cry, sheesh!! I would tell her that maybe she should see if THEY can sleep somewhere else because you cannot guarantee that he won't wake up. What a piece of work! It's YOUR vacation too!

I would sleep in the bathtub before I would walk on eggshells every night. Maybe your MIL can do the switch like you had mentioned. Is this a rented summer home?

I totally agree. She is a real piece of work. I would definitely switch with MIL if you can.

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
Sophie is 22 months old? THere's a good chance that she may not sleep through the night since she will be out her usual environment. Not that I want your sleep or the babies to be disturbed but I hope Sophie is the one waking your SIL.

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
How typical! She is already trying to tell you that you will have to take care of her kid (aka babysit) because your baby will wake hers up.
Of course, he will wake her up so she is setting you up for that.
Tell her so "shove" it.... like somebody else said or that she has the option to find another place to stay.
Do you have the option NOT to share the room with them? I would tell her that SHE has to find a solution because there is no controlling of your baby.
Are you sure this is vacation?

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
What  Your DS had better sleep? Ummm yeah you can control that - you just didn't want to use those magical powers these last three months - saving it for something special, right?
I agree - tell her to shove it! If you can switch with your MIL that would be the best.

. Is this a rented summer home?
Yeah. In Florida.
I actually think she may have asked my MIL to switch, but MIL is on the very top floor with a balconey and there are no gates.
There is no bathroom up there (apparently we have one) but I think I'd take no bathroom.
Plus they are trying to potty train Sophie that week WHO does that??

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
Wow! I think you should tell her to take a plastic bag and put it over her head so you can tape it closed.
I am sorry I am being so rude but c'mon... the other poster is right. She is setting up so you have her daughter!
good luck

I think she did too many drugs back in the day
I think she wants everyone to do it for her...she says it is b/c they don't have a yard so she wants her to be able to run around naked

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
At this point with all of the BS, I'd be leaning towards not going.

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
I'm not officially a mom yet so can't answer with any experience, but I have to say that is so rude.
I'd personally wake Sophie up myself so her mom has to deal with it. (But that may be pregnancy hormones talking.)
Is it possible to switch the rooming arrangements around?

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
Set a cell phone alarm under your pillow, wake up and pinch her kid so that she wakes up everyone, run back to bed and fake sleep and glare at her at the appropriate time. KIDDING.
But, I would tell her where to take that BS, b/c I've never heard more BS over a BABY before. You cannot control what your baby may or may not do and for that matter, her kid might wake up yours when it's all said and done.
You know, I take it back from the other day....DO NOT PAY HER A DIME and do NOT take care of her rugrat should she wake up. Some people...

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
do we have the same SIL?
i would def. put her in her place... i'm all about not putting up with prima donna attitudes lately.
you can't seriously control children's behavior at that age... she needs to come off her high horse and just deal with it---
good luck with that one

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
She's not even my SIL and she's driving ME nuts! What is wrong with this woman. Seriously, you better not be paying her a dime of that "money" you owe her.
I would suggest SHE find another place for her and Sophie to sleep since she is such a light sleeper- like Alabama perhaps.

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
Tell her to go jump! Im sorry but she is RUDE.
Definitley ask MIL to make a switch with you! I think at 22 months old there going to have a hard time getting her to sleep (different environment, to much excitement going on). I see this when my parents take my 2 year old nephew camping..Going to bed for him is a nightmare. She should worry about her own child and not yours!
I hope it all works out! Definitley ask to make the switch.

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
I dont know how you are able to bite your tongue!! The first thing out of my mouth would have been even MORE rude then what she said to you!
I hope she was kidding if not maybe you can suggest one of the bathrooms for to sleep in since you cant prevent a newborn from crying!

Re: asjhfkshksh. She strikes again!
Honestly, I would tell her that this is a FAMILY vacation and if she's looking for peace and quiet then maybe she should rethink coming. It sounds like it's going to be a full house, so she just needs to get the F over herself. I don't know if you can have your DH handle this situation, but I definitely wouldn't just let it go. One of you needs to set her straight.
