Grandpa needs to take a chill pill! If and when you can't take it anymore, let him have it! He's messing with a new mom, he really is asking for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1697530 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:28:20 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1697530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you feel about telling your dad to just shut the fuck up? Sorry for the language but that pisses me off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693710 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:29:41 +0000 wonderstruck 1693710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy shit, you have a newborn! All you need to do is rest, feed the baby, and let the baby sleep. I hate your dad. You are not supposed to be worrying about your weight at ALL right now - your body JUST started to recover! And the rest of his advice...I'm sure I don't even have to say that he's an idiot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693584 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:41:40 +0000 avivoca 1693584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't find the words to express my rage on your behalf. You are an excellent mother and baby J is so lucky to have you. Don't listen to your dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693554 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:32:13 +0000 Jenn23 1693554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are horrible things that he said to you. I wouldn't respond to those comments if he says anything else again. Or tell him how his comments have made you feel!! Or like many others above said, distance yourself!! Hope you are baby are doing great. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693521 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:15:57 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1693521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait, so he wants you to put a newborn on the backseat of your car? Really? I'm so sorry. I hope he gets more supportive over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693520 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:15:40 +0000 Alivoo01 1693520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!! No ma'am!!

Just block him out for a few weeks til you get your bearings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693299 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:21:43 +0000 marionberry 1693299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh you poor thing. Just ignore him! I have a family member who had lots to say like that while I was pregnant. It bothered me but I just tried to ignore what she said.</p> <p>Grandparents always think they know best too. It's important to stand firm and say you're going to do what you want to do and they need to leave you alone and respect your wishes, especially when you're following safety requirements that may have changed since they have kids. And pick your battles...I'm continuously arguing with my mom about giving Jack things like ice cream and chocolate but there are times when I give in because there are bigger battles to fight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693184 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:55:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1693184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry :( lack of support from a parent just kills the spirit sometimes. And obviously his comments are outdated, not to mention unsafe. You are an amazing mother I'm sure and doing an incredible job!! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693173 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:53:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 1693173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spam folder, my friend. Spam. Folder.</p> <p>J is delicious, and you are adorable. Also, I am here to tell you that I haven't lost a pound in 6 weeks, and I'm BFing until my nipples fall off. So yeah...tune out that noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693152 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:46:18 +0000 Adira 1693152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy smokes! I can't even... this is CRAZY! I would definitely ignore e-mails from him for a while!!! So sorry you're dealing with stuff like this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1693127 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:40:30 +0000 namaste 1693127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, so sorry for that! That's terribly insensitive and untrue. To the spam folder they go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1691678 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:29:35 +0000 spaniellove 1691678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Oh yeah, there were variations on that one too. Like that I was too old (31 at the time). Then he made up reasons why I had a m/c. Where do they get these? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1691676 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:26:48 +0000 gingerbebe 1691676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Ummm yeah, he sounds like he's buddies with my dad. Just delete and ignore and focus on that delicious baby. </p> <p>My dad told me that my fertility troubles and my prior brain tumor were caused by (a) being fat and (b) drinking diet coke and that it was all my fault. THANKS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1691673 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:25:26 +0000 mlm2934 1691673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!!!

Those comments about your body especially are completely uncalled for. I'm very sorry. Be good to yourself, and tune that drivel right out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1691661 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:15:18 +0000 BSB 1691661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Your dad is just... I don't even have words for him. I'm sorry you keep having to hear these comments from him.

My dad made some pretty awful comments about my ability to be a mother as well. We have not spoken in 18 months. And I can't think of any reason that I would speak to him again. (You don't have to be that extreme, my situation was a long time coming, but it won't hurt to block him for a bit). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1691655 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:11:12 +0000 Greentea 1691655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: :) Yes!

My dad is the same way. He thinks car seats are child abuse (that's just one example!) I do my best to tune it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dad-thinks-i-am-the-worst-mom-ever-and-oh-im-going-to-get-fat#post-1691651 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:10:01 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1691651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy!
