    Those people asking you when they see you're deadly tired: "How come you wanna be a mom if you don't get tired?" I hate this question so much, my MIL almost asks me this q in every conversation about my boys, people think that you should be suffered, tortured, tired just if you dare to want children in your life & never complain about it.
    My MIL never stop telling me how hard it was for her to raise 4 children (not twins) while she was working, she thinks I shouldn't complain when I keep awake all night through, when I have to hold Omar all the time or he'll cry, when I have terrible back pain...
    It's really bad to be that crule towards new moms :(

    I am so sorry. I feel your pain....mentally AND physically! And yes it is 6 am.....the whinning dog woke me up cause she needed to potty, he woke up the babies. While I was getting the babies back to bed.........the dog promptly got on MY side of the bed and pee peed! YEP! already a good morning!

    I'm sorry to hear about people's unhelpful comments. My MIL is not quite as bad as yours, but still she has no compassion for what DH and I are going through with our 3 small children.

    reeba, I cannot believe your morning. I really hope things improve for you quickly! I'll bet you gave that dog of yours what for, huh?

    <_< Sheesh. As if you should only have kids if you love exhaustion & crazy hectic days. As if all the wonderful stuff about having kids should just magically erase all the PITA stuff. Yes, babies are awesome, and yes, babies are exhausting.

    I'm sorry your MIL is so very unsupportive. Ugh. :hug99:
