My mommy friends and I ask each other this all the time, along with any new milestones, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-944386 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:54:32 +0000 mrskc 944386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: you can't win either way! </p> <p>@mewtill: haha yeah, maybe I hate it so much b/c I'm so cranky from LO waking me up all night. </p> <p>@TurtleDoves: I think I will start lying. It's just easier. </p> <p>My mom especially annoys me because she keeps telling me over and over that I should put rice cereal in his bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-944209 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:04:12 +0000 lolabee 944209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it does bother me but only when it's coming from people whom I feel judged by. And that it's the first question. I just don't really understand why it matters? It doesn't affect their life. I guess it all boils down to the tone questions are asked and how suggestions are offered. I secretly wish I had the balls to just say we co-bed and feel confident rather than feeling like I always have to be defending myself. That said, since we tend to march to the beat of our own drum (in comparison to some close to us) I'll probably feel this way for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-944153 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:46:58 +0000 hummusgirl 944153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me. I think people just like to make conversation and aren't trying to bring up a touchy subject. I'd just say "fine" and leave it at that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-944125 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:36:47 +0000 immabeetoo 944125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find it annoying and don't get why people care. I'd lie if I were you! I usually just say that we're both sleeping fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943989 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:11:35 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 943989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATE it! I hate it as much as I hated people badgering me when the baby was due. Maybe it's because he doesn't sleep well and I'm cranky? ;)</p> <p>But he does have some sleep issues &amp; our solution right now is continue co-sleeping &amp; work on helping him learn to sleep better. It drives me nuts that my parents &amp; MIL always bring up sleep and immediately follow with "well, you'll just have to let him cry in the end." Gah, no I don't and I didn't ask for nosy opinions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943952 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:05:05 +0000 MrsF 943952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People and their questions... I can't believe how many people have asked me if M is a "good baby". As the mom of a very high-needs 9 month old, how am I supposed to answer that? Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943777 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:34:36 +0000 sslm 943777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that this is everyone's first question!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943759 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:32:40 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 943759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: just lie. Seriously...give them a generic, "it's fine".<br /> I hate the 1000 questions people ask, but they do it out of habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943744 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:31:18 +0000 googly-eyes 943744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it either. When dd went through her last regression it seemed like people would cringe and say "that's not normal," but when she was sttn like 11 hrs at 5 months, people had the same reaction. Or, "oh you're SO lucky...that's not the norm!" And I want to say, yeah, ok, you get a gold star for enduring less sleep? Like that's the only aspect that can be hard? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943662 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:23:00 +0000 lomom 943662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell them we co-bed. My LO is only going to want to snuggle with me for such a tiny piece of his life and I'm going to soak up every moment. I don't give them any room to talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943262 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:26:19 +0000 hilsy85 943262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate it but I feel like there's not much to say...I don't rrly want advice from anyone and I feel like when it IS going well, talking about it ensures that it will get bad again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943098 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:52:02 +0000 autumnlove 943098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like it! My LO is 18 months and she has been STTN since she was 8 weeks. People ask me this question and they always tell me she will regress soon...just you wait.</p> <p>People were asking me how LO 2 was sleeping when she was a week old...um, crappy?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943091 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:49:24 +0000 mrskc 943091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: oh yes, I don't like when they start giving suggestions. I think that's what I hate the most. I didn't ask for advice! You are the one that asked how my kid sleeps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943090 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:48:53 +0000 Boheme 943090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get so annoyed! He's only 6 weeks old and people always ask me if he's STTN. We have a particular neighbor couple who ask me every time we see them, which is a couple times a week. We cosleep too, so I just say 'We're getting enough rest' and hope they drop it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943082 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:46:49 +0000 mrskc 943082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: I like that response, "he wakes up sometimes". I feel you. Cosleeping wasn't my first choice and I would prefer to have my bed to myself, but it's the only way I would get enough sleep every night with out being a complete zombie the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943081 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:46:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 943081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Yes, but only because they would *always* follow it up with suggestions to improve her sleep. Uhhh, yeah, it required *surgery* for LO to be able to sleep at night . . . after that, people finally shut up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943080 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:46:04 +0000 sera_87 943080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just get "does he Sttn yet?" </p> <p>And I laugh because oh my god! That's the funniest joke EVER!</p> <p>ETA: it bothers me more when people automatically offer the gem "just put him in his crib and let him cry". My best friend says it ALL THE TIME. Massively annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943072 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:43:45 +0000 MamaJ 943072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: exactly the same situation. I kinda lie.. Or don't tell the whole truth. If asked if he sleeps through the night I say no, he wakes up sometimes. Few people know we cosleep... I hate when people ask. I feel judged too. Mostly because I cosleep only because his sleep was so terrible and I felt like I had no other choice. I don't love cosleeping :( but it is where we are at now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943061 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:41:31 +0000 luckypenny 943061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just say she sleeps "pretty good!" Unless its one of our parent friends, people need to mind their own business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dislike-when-people-ask-you-about-your-los-sleep#post-943055 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:38:50 +0000 mrskc 943055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9 months, we cosleep, and he wakes up through out the night to nurse. I get really uncomfortable when people ask about his sleep b/c I know what we're doing isn't the norm. </p> <p>It comes up all the time! Is he STTN? How's his sleep? I should just lie and say it's great! </p> <p>People don't usually say anything when I tell them he wakes up a lot still, but I feel like I'm being judged. I just really don't like when people ask about his sleep! Am I crazy? Or does anyone else hate when people always ask about your LO's sleep? </p>
