One good non-wedding story:

Joe and I were taking Em over to Joe's mom's Friday. Em was tired and sleeping when we were supposed to leave, so I chose to let her sleep instead of waking her up and her being cranky. My mom took her over there around 5:30 and told MiL, "Em hasn't had dinner yet. It's in the bag." I had written a note and told MiL everything there was to know and told MiL that Em should eat between 6:30 and 7. We call her to check in around 7:30-8 and Em is SCREAMING in the background. I ask MiL if she'd eaten. "She had half a bottle." "Did you give her the food in the bag?" "Oh. I din't know she ate solid food. "

Thanks, Pete! I'm working "Peev" and "Gothmother" for your visit.

Someone needs to get an mp3 recorder on this when you do.

I sadly, am "bopbopbop", not "mamma". No idea why. But when I ask Owen what Mommy says, he replies, without fail, "Bebe." He says baby with a French accent, I swear.

She obviously didn't READ THE NOTE or LOOK IN THE BAG. *sigh*

Congrats on the "mama" Aimee.

OR LISTEN TO MY MOTHER. Now, what makes it even worse?

Em hadn't had solid food that day since around 10 am.

Heee! Actually, she just needs to be able to say "Clovis!". But yay for her saying "mama"! That's wonderful.

At least MiL's punishment was having to listen to a crying baby for a long time--but sheesh, poor, hungry, Em! I just can't believe someone wouldn't think about feeding solids to a NEARLY YEAR OLD baby. Especially someone who's HAD KIDS.

Aims, words fail me about the MiL.

Especially someone who's HAD KIDS

Apparently, Joe says, this is why Dustin (his brother) is so fat. He had to learn to gorge and store since she don't feed kids.
