7,313,502
mommit
Omgosh that face! Too precious !
7,313,503
mommit
Well hello there sweet girl!
7,313,504
mommit
My baby's hair grows out like that too and people always exclaim "that hair!!!"
7,313,505
mommit
So sweet! How old is she?
7,313,506
mommit
Well hello cutie!!
7,313,507
mommit
Um.. she could be my son's twin! He has the same hair, eyebrows and eye color! He also likes to just hang his mouth open when I talk to him
7,313,508
mommit
She have me lots of heartburn!
7,313,509
mommit
She's the sweetest thing!
7,313,510
mommit
Me and dad are obsessed with her lol
7,313,511
mommit
She is 11 weeks old. She'll be 3 months old soon!
7,313,512
mommit
She's typically a big smiler but this was so cute I had to post. She always gets comments on her hair!
7,313,513
mommit
Same with my and came out with SOO much hair!!

Older generations seem obsessed with making sure a baby is never cold. Better to be a little cold than too warm. As my husband told his aunt, while peeling layers of sweaty clothing off our then 10 month old, “Cold babies cry, hot babies die.”
7,313,515
mommit
Can someone PLEASE explain why mothers-in-law always think the baby is cold? It is in the 80s F outside, we have the windows open, and it is objectively warm. What does MIL do. She puts baby in winter footie pajamas and a sweater because "the ceiling fans are on." In the '80s, were we all raised in saunas?!
7,313,516
mommit
Ugh I feel this! MIL stayed for a month too! Tried to take over my whole life. I was practically doing a dance when she got on the plane back to Brazil. Obrigada biatch!
7,313,517
mommit
Omg, my MIL is the worst about what is an appropriate baby toy. I almost lost my shit one day when she gave my 1.5yo a handful of pocket change to play with!
7,313,518
mommit
"I did that when you were a kid and you turned out just fine." My mom on everything not allowed, including giving honey and water to a newborn.
7,313,519
mommit
lord, i will never understand. god forbid the baby gets cold, but baby doing activity that could cause death? meh, as long as baby is warm
7,313,520
mommit
Is it sad that this is my husband? He gives them the plastic bags to play with but then is freaking out the babies are always cold because of the floors. Sir it’s 74 in the house! He is an old lady!
7,313,521
mommit
Why are mil's obsessed that babies are cold?! It's 75 out, my 1 year old doesn't need socks!
7,313,522
mommit
i would say something along the lines of “you think baby is cold now? wait til they suffocate to death because of that plastic fucking bag”
7,313,523
mommit
Y’all my mom called me after I sent out my baby registry to say “why do you have so many baby proofing items on the registry? Those aren’t fun baby shower gifts and you don’t need them anyways. It’s not like you can follow them everywhere and make sure they’re not getting into something. Just let them be, they’ll learn...
7,313,524
mommit
I love this. My parents are here for two weeks and need this. Please keep ‘em coming! My favorite is : shhh don’t talk so loud baby is sleeping : bangs around in the kitchen and slams all the doors while baby is napping
7,313,525
mommit
Love this so much. More please! We want a series!
7,313,526
mommit
My MIL was supposed to stay with us for a couple of weeks but only lasted about 6 days before she got belligerently drunk and wouldn’t stop screaming lol got her ass to the airport a week early
7,313,527
mommit
I know a family who lost a child (under two, not sure exact age), who climbed out of his crib when everyone was asleep and found a plastic grocery bag and suffocated. That fear is real. Cold floors? Who the f cares.
7,313,528
mommit
Lmao!! Love this way of coping
7,313,529
mommit
A month?! Why a month?!
7,313,530
mommit
After one week with my MIL at home I wanted to die. I wish you peace of mind!
7,313,531
mommit
Where I’m from, 70 is freezing inside my house
7,313,532
mommit
A month?! Omg you’re too nice lol
7,313,533
mommit
Oh are we venting about our inlaws now? I'll add to this lol..MIL went on a week long cruise, came home and showed up at our house unannounced. Said she wasn't feeling well and then kissed our 19 month old on the mouth. Left and tested positive for covid. 19 month old has been running a fever getting as high as 104, we...
7,313,534
mommit
So glad my MIL lives 12 hours away and prefers my husband’s first kid’s mom over me
7,313,535
mommit
I get so triggered. I HATE old women who havent had small babies for 30+ years and somehow think its appropriate to invade your space, your routines and your way of taking care of your LO that is the most precious thing to you. You love that child 100 times more than this old lady ever will, and yet the old women think...
7,313,536
mommit
Send her home!
7,313,537
mommit
Omg. Yes. My daughter has a horrible HEAT RASH and my MIL tried to put a jacket on her.... I don't get it.
7,313,538
mommit
Yup
7,313,539
mommit
Every Hispanic grandmother
7,313,540
mommit
A month?!?! May God have mercy on your soul. But seriously, I’m scheduling my dentist appointments for when my MIL is here, and anything else I can think of. She’s nice, means well,and the kids love her, but I get so dang irritated being around her
7,313,541
mommit
We loved with my in laws in between house sales. It was a ROUGH few months. Sending you positive vibes and patience.
7,313,542
mommit
Girl. Be strong. I'm on day 8 and I am contemplating running away from home.
7,313,543
mommit
I mean, my baby loves to play with plastic bags! As long as I supervise her, I let her explore tons of things. She never wears socks though. Why even make baby socks?!
7,313,544
mommit
I can never do that to my son. I just want to be there. I don’t wanna give any judgment or make any statements, this is teaching me what I don’t want to do.
7,313,545
mommit
Yes. I make the same statement when she annoys me enough. But she’s stubborn and knows best so nothing changes.
7,313,546
mommit
Yes! My baby went to MILs without socks last week because it’s hot as hell here. She came home wearing socks after they had gone for a walk outside in the hot weather. Like, seriously?
7,313,547
mommit
i get what you mean but i'm pretty sure it's older people in general. their bodies are less tolerable to the "cold". my grandma is like 80 or something and will wear three layers of clothes, hat, gloves, socks, and scarf inside when it's 70F. blows my mind. complains about the temperature constantly and sometimes the ...
7,313,548
mommit
It's because they're old and they have shitty circulation, so they're always cold... and they're incapable of imagining that someone else experiences the world differently than they do so if they're cold, the baby is cold.
7,313,549
mommit
Because really what they need to do is take a walk around the block to get that blood pumping.
7,313,550
mommit
Regular mothers too! My mom insisted my newborn needed socks...in July. It was 75 degrees in the house and this baby runs hot!
7,313,551
mommit
My parents freak out about the ceiling fans because they swear it’ll give the baby colic…………
7,313,552
mommit
Hahaha that last line!
7,313,553
mommit
My mom used to lay my son on the kitchen floor on a blanket and surround him with various household items... Water jugs or cans of pop. A box of beer cans used to hold up family pictures for him to look at. She has this old egg yolk separator thing that looks like an egg with a face... She calls it "Eggy", he's 3 and s...
7,313,554
mommit
Wow! That would infuriate me too
7,313,555
mommit
My MIL I think is tired of me momsplaining her whenever she is like, “We didn’t need all of these security measures when your partner was a baby.” And I’m like, “That’s because of baby deaths and quack science. I’d rather go with the security measures passed in the last 40 years to protect the children.”
7,313,556
mommit
Omg is your mom my mom because SAME!!
7,313,557
mommit
Right? Prioritize!
7,313,558
mommit
Hahaha at least my mil is an old lady. That’s funny
7,313,559
mommit
Mine too, you’re not alone
7,313,560
mommit
I like your style. Unfortunately, I bet she would agree with me and act all contrite and then continue to do whatever she wants anyway.
7,313,561
mommit
You clearly know your stuff when it comes to baby proofing. So with that I ask your guidance… we are now just starting to think about it (baby 11 weeks old so we got time) but don’t know where to start. What resources did you use to get educated on what you needed? Thank you ahead of time for your guidance!
7,313,562
mommit
Yes. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my kids with her either. Since I made this post, she let the baby crawl over to where dog was eating and even as I ran to go pick him up because he’ll climb right into the bowl, she just stood there over him. Totally clue less. My dog is an elderly lab and doesn’t even growl or bar...
7,313,563
mommit
Ah, my mom must have taken the same grandparent class as your parents lmao
7,313,564
mommit
I’ll report back. She gives me plenty of material to work with lol
7,313,565
mommit
She’s from far away
7,313,566
mommit
Hahaha thank you. I definitely need peace of mind. It’s nap time right now so there’s that!
7,313,567
mommit
I would be so upset. I’m so sorry. I hope everyone feels well soon. That’s seriously like ugggghh.
7,313,568
mommit
Yeah it’s not a thick plastic grocery bag and it’s not with supervision. I get what you’re trying to say so I hope you didn’t think I was judging parents who let their kids play with them. I’m talking about bulk super thin bags from Costco (think nearly as thin as a produce one from grocery store). She uses them for a...
7,313,569
mommit
I can NOT stand this way of thinking from our mothers and in laws. I’m so fortunate that mine aren’t like this, but the sheer lack of willingness to change their ways is infuriating to me. I think it’s something like we’ve cut baby/infant death rates in half since the 80’s? Don’t actually quote me on that, I’m too la...
7,313,570
mommit
Is your MIL my MIL?
7,313,571
mommit
My son hates socks. My mother's solution is slippers. Everytime he goes over there he comes home with a new pair of slippers. Just leave them there! Why do i need to house them? 6 pairs of slippers he refuses to wear here.
7,313,572
mommit
This makes me feel better. she hasn’t said one nice thing about my new house, except she likes the trees…but she’s repeated endlessly how cold she is. I was just internally ranting to myself about it as I turned the heater on for her so she won’t whine when she gets up.
7,313,573
mommit
Yes! My 77 year old dad with shitty circulation will be sitting on his heated recliner wearing sweat pants and a sweater while the rest of us are opening windows and turning on fans. He’ll try to turn on the heat while the rest of us are sweltering. Get yourself a blanket, it’s already more than warm enough for the res...

Boomers ^TM in a nutshell - incapable of imagining someone experiences things differently than they do or has any differing opinions.
7,313,575
mommit
hahahaha
7,313,576
mommit
Curious about the rationale for that one
7,313,577
mommit
I’m totally cool with that as long as the household objects are safe! I feel like new items hold their attention for longer, anyway. Hmmm… you’ve never seen this funnel before, want to play with it while I chop veggies? Great, haha.
7,313,578
mommit
Huzzah! I gotchu my friend this my time to shine [This article](https://www.thebump.com/a/checklist-babyproofing-part-1) was my favorite AND it includes the car AND it’s even got more parts for further on as your kid gets older. I will say that there are different options for each category, like with blind cord wi...
7,313,579
mommit
Lord help me I am sending all the good vibes for you to get through this. Isn’t it just common sense, too? Like even if your dog doesn’t react, your baby could eat dog food which isn’t the best in small quantities.
7,313,580
mommit
I've been raging around the house since toddler showed symptoms. I'm so filled with rage I've basically exhausted myself at this point
7,313,581
mommit
Yeah. To me this pattern of behavior kind of goes back to just not respecting other people and thinking your way is best. I can repeat the way I’d like things over and over again but she’ll still keep doing it her way. She doesn’t even see the problem. Because she’s right. Whatevs I’m glad you have good in laws. To b...
7,313,582
mommit
My mom buys new toys every time baby comes over so she has something new to play with. …she comes over once a week…
7,313,583
mommit
nah we dont give in to it ever. if it's too cold, put on layers. adults are more than capable of regulating their own body temperature. my grandma will just sit outside in 90F weather sometimes because of it. but i'm not about to set the house over 74F just for one person when we have literally babies in here.
7,313,584
mommit
exactly this
7,313,585
mommit
Yes. I think that’s partly why it’s so anger inducing.
7,313,586
mommit
So true.
7,313,587
mommit
My mom would do this too so new rule was new toys outside of gift giving holidays stay at Grammys house. What do you know, she stopped. I'll make exceptions for things that get used up like stickers and bubbles though. But now she brings clothes...
7,313,588
mommit
Oh yea it all stays at her house for sure lol
7,313,589
mommit
Gotta keep your hands clean, duh. But anyways so friggin’ cute!
7,313,590
mommit
That's hilarious!!
7,313,591
mommit
Love it! What kind of cake is it?
7,313,592
mommit
We are doing our sons smash this week! I hope we get such a hilarious and unique picture like this. What a cutie!!
7,313,593
mommit
Props to your kid; he’s efficient. Why use hands when you can go directly from cake to mouth?
7,313,594
mommit
100% will be my son when he turns 1 lol
7,313,595
mommit
It reminds me of the [cake eating scene in the movie Matilda ](https://www.google.com/search?q=boy+matilda+cake+scene&tbm=isch&hl=en-us&client=safari&prmd=ivsn&hl=en-US&ved=2ahUKEwjP78fys9zmAhVGMM0KHaPvCVAQrNwCegUIARDbAQ&biw=414&bih=719)
7,313,596

I feel this way about chocolate cake too
7,313,597
mommit
I can't stop laughing at this
7,313,598
mommit
Such a cutie.
7,313,599
mommit
So freaking adorable!!!
7,313,600
mommit
Knowing that he doesn't like to use his hands makes him even more cuter!
