This may be long & I know a lot of you don't read lengthy posts, but I need everyones input..especially MOMMAS!
We have been trying to get together with 4 of our friends for a while now, but they are super busy. Two weeks ago I texted all of them & told them to let me know when was a good night & I would cook dinner at our place & they could come over.
Did they ever tell me when a good night was? NO.
They texted me Sunday and asked us to come over Thursday at 7:30 for dinner.
Great, right? NO.
Problem? Rylee's bed time is 8pm.
Do I want to risk getting her schedule messed up for just dinner? NO.
I tell all of these things to Jeremy and he says "let's just go and deal with her." I would pretty much be dealing with her the entire time since we wouldn't even get there until 7:30. What a nice dinner. A screaming baby & a cranky ass mom. He knows how she gets around 7pm because all she wants to do is sleep.
I'm a little sad because I really do cherish these friends, but I'm not willing to risk her being cranky for them. One of the guys texted Jeremy and said "don't babies just sleep where ever, like in their carriers?" WTF. First off, you have NO kids and NO experience so don't tell me how babies are.
What would you all do??
That wasn't a lengthy post. Anyway, I think you know what I would do. I would tell them (and I'm pretty sure I know who they are) that you want to hang out with them and you miss seeing them, but that Rylee is on a schedule for now since she is so young still and that you would appreciate if they worked around the schedule.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a baby, but I totally get it. I don't see why no one else can!
we already talked about this. People (MEN) dont get it. If they want to hang out in the evening they need to understand that youre trying to get rylee on a schedule and even one night away can mess it up. I sure as hell wouldn't take p out past her bedtime. shes a mess and she will NOT sleep in her 'carrier' normally.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't do it either, even at 1, Rian is a stickler when it comes to bedtime. Last night we went out for our anniversary and I was soo worried she'd be bad for Steven's mom and I kept thinking we should've had her come to our house.
ReplyDeleteFor now, its always easier for them to come to you. Just let them know, if they're as good of friends as you think- they should be willing to do so.
i wouldn't. believe me.... you will not have fun. ive tried doing things like this... and your mind is on her the whole time... people may be talking...and it goes in one ear and out the other.
