You are letting her stay in your home, she could at least be respectful to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180627 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:15:33 +0000 googly-eyes 180627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice here but I'm sorry you had to deal with that! How rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180618 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:10:56 +0000 His Barista 180618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: she is a year younger than me. One of her other friends has older kids so I think that's where she has any experience. Not much really.</p> <p>@Minnie_Girl: yeah. I know. Its stupid.</p> <p>As much as I wish I could stay away from her she is staying with us a few weeks while she finishes school so she didn't have to renew her old lease before clinicals out of state. Ugh. This is what we get for being.too nice, I think! : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180526 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:24:02 +0000 Minnie_Girl 180526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's gloating because she made a baby puke on her? *eyebrow raise*</p> <p>This friend of yours clearly doesn't spend a lot of time around babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180520 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:21:35 +0000 BSB 180520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, that was pretty rude. I don't even say anything like that because I know as someone who doesn't have kids-- I don't know anything.</p> <p>Was this friend younger? Because I know as a high schooler or college student, I was in that phase where I thought I knew everything and thought how my sister raised her kids were wrong. I realized a few years ago how naive I was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180509 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:13:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 180509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto to what @MrsWagon said. And, to quote @MrsJYW (in another post), in the words of Stephanie Tanner, "How Rude!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180505 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:11:09 +0000 mrbee 180505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I would just avoid that friend for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180502 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:10:41 +0000 mrsmenow 180502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: That was the best little trick ever:) Definately tell this girl to shut her face is she says something agin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180501 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:10:27 +0000 His Barista 180501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I don't think so. She started screaming the second I gave her to dh so I could go to work. : ( He was able to swaddle her so she would take a nap which was probably part of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180500 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:10:18 +0000 mediagirl 180500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry your friend was such a jerk. What the heck?? I like @mrs. wagon's idea of leaving her alone with the baby for 24 hours and then seeing how she feels afterwards. Argh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180493 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:07:06 +0000 mrbee 180493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did she actually achieve a good outcome btw? I'm not sure that spitting up all your food was an ideal solution to the problem of an upset stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180490 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:06:05 +0000 His Barista 180490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRSKESSKESS: yes. She really likes that! I would have done it next if I hadn't of needed to get dressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180489 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:05:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 180489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my gosh! That is so rude. I'm so sorry! There is nothing worse than feeling discredited as a mother. She obviously has no idea the weight her words carry. No other mom would have done that I don't think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180486 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:04:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 180486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: ew. Comments like that from non-moms (and lording it over you... seriously?!?) really piss me off. Tell her to spend one 24 hour period with the baby, alone, and THEN see what her attitude is like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180484 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:02:31 +0000 regberadaisy 180484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: ugh. I would have said it's you jumping her up and down that caused the spit up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180469 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:57:14 +0000 mrbee 180469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That wasn't a very nice thing to say. I wouldn't even say that to my wife, let alone to a mommy friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180460 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:52:11 +0000 mrsmenow 180460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would comment that the bouncing her up and down is what made her spit up. Have you tried carrying her on your forearm on her belly, that helped with my DDs when they had upset bellies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180457 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:50:03 +0000 Shimmer 180457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How rude! I don't get why people open their mouths sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-obviously-that-didnt-work#post-180452 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:45:39 +0000 His Barista 180452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday poor DD had an upset tummy. I tried doing bicycle legs and burping her to see if that would help. It calmed her down a little but once I had to start getting ready for work she acted up again.<br /> My friend went to pick her up and started bouncing her up and down a little over her shoulder and she spit up two huge puddles.<br /> So instead of being calm about it her response was, "well obviously what mommy was doing didn't work."<br /> I really wanted to punch her in the face. Ugh! Today she is still lording it over me. The best part is she isn't even a mom!<br /> Anyway...end vent. </p>
