AMEN!!! Can I say AMEN again??!!
My sister just had her first baby, and I am SICK...SICK...SICK of hearing her complain about different issues. "My breasts hurt"...don't care, had to listen to the same complaint for the last 9 months, not going to listen to it now!! "I am not getting enough sleep"...big deal, neither did I, then after the first started sleeping thru the night, we took placement of an 8 week old. Just like you CHOSE to get pregnant, I CHOSE to do it...and I relished in every waking moment!
My favorite...she is not currently working..."I just CAN'T keep the house clean. My gosh, I just had a baby a month ago and I am not getting sleep, and (her DH) expects me to keep up on laundry and dishes, and picking up the house" OK, mine are 17 and 19 months old now...all I have to say is that if you can't keep your house clean when she is only a month old, I don't want to see it in 18 months when the kids are following right behind you UN-doing everything you have just cleaned.
Ever since we had Bug placed with us, she TRIED actively to get pregnant. She did nothing but complain about every moment of her pregnancy (what a luxury to be afforded...and for her to complain to ME?? I finally had to have my mother "turn on the light" as to how inconsiderate she was being) I LOVE my boys, but it was painful, and down right infuriating to hear someone complain about being pregnant.
I wish she would realize what she has there, and love every sleepless, poopy, boogery, drooly, smiley, hug and kiss filled minute. What some people would not give for that.
