Routine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people are free spirits who do whatever they please. Other people are more structured and need routines and order. I am one of those people who needs the structure. And luckily for me, my daughter is too.

My daughter is the kind of baby who will NOT sleep if constantly stimulated, not in her own crib, swing, or stroller.She eats at regular intervals, poops at regular intervals, sleeps at regular intervals and is only her happy self when her daily routine is kept up.

Now as I have said before, everyone seems to think they know better than me. Things like, "come over at 6", when her bedtime routine starts at 7:30, "if she stay up later, she'll sleep longer", when she wakes up the same time no matter how long she sleeps, and "it's ok to break her routine every now and again" when she she won't get back into her normal routine for at least 4 days, are said to me often. And you know what, it's all well and good for someone to say all those things, but guys, guess what? YOU DON'T HAVE TO HANDLE THIS CRANKY, UNHAPPY, CRYING & SCREAMING BABY WHOSE ROUTINE IS SCREWED TO SHIT!!!

I understand my daughter is adorable, lovable, and fun to be around, and that EVERYONE wants to spend time with her, but the reason she is that way is because she is on a schedule! Mess with it, and she becomes a whole different person (much like if you mess with this mommy's sleep!!). But why can't people just understand that the saying "mother knows best" is actually true for young children? Oh, and then when the EXACT thing I say will happen, happens, these people with their 'advice' and comments are shocked! It's almost as though they don't know my daughter as well as I do or something.... C.R.A.Z.Y!! 

Am I trying to keep her from people? Of course not! My daughter has a family who loves her so much, but it sure would be nice if they would take her in to consideration before planning events!

Well I'd love to rant more, but I have a baby who is having an "outburst" from being overtired, seeing as she hasn't slept right in 3 nights...  But no, you guys are right, it's totally worth screwing with her routine!

10 Reasons I Probably Don't Like You

I have to say, I actually do like most people. But there are quite a few people out there that drive me mental!

#1 - You touch my baby: My daughter is 8 months old and adorable, I know this. But she is MY baby. I don't appreciate it when people I don't know touch her. I don't know if you just sneezed in your hands or forgot to wash after using the bathroom. I don't know if you just ate something she is allergic to. I simply don't know you, so don't touch my offspring.

#2 - You think I am too young to have a baby: I am 22, not 12. I am married. My husband and I wanted a baby VERY badly. I am of a belief that age doesn't dictate how well you can love and care for someone. And honestly, you can say what you want, but I know I am probably a better mother than you anyway.

#3 -  You think you can steal my husband away: Honestly, all I can say is "HA"... if you come to my house and see my husband and I "after hours" and you STILL think you can 'steal' him, you are crazy!

#4 - You put your child on a leash: It's a child, not a dog... if you want to do that with your hubby, go ahead, but in the privacy of your bedroom please

#5 - You aren't polite: Please & Thank You, opening the door for someone with full hands, RSVPing, and speaking the language of the country you are in is good. Being a ass-wipe is not

#6 - You think playing keyboards, guitar, or any other instrument makes you cool: It doesn't. There is a reason you aren't playing on the radio... you aren't good

#7 - You make jokes about child abuse and spousal abuse: It isn't funny... if I punch you in the face, will you laugh at that?

#8 - You're a natural health nut: Eating a cookie every now and then won't hurt you. However trying to treat serious illnesses with roots and 'prayer' will...

#9 - You can't park between the lines: If you park like an idiot, I can't get out of my vehicle, or remove my daughter's car-seat. You make me want to key your car.

#10 - Your a 'Hipster': Wearing clothes that look like they came out of your parents closet back in the 80's isn't cool. It makes you look like your poor. Honestly, buy some timeless pieces, or clothes that make you look good. Oh, and leggings ARE NOT PANTS!!
