byfirstlight's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam sucks. Isabella is sitting up for longer periods of time every day. I can't wait until she actually starts pulling herself into a sitting position and I can stop surrounding her with pillows. Not that I mind putting pillows around her. It's just that a floor full fo pillows and smooshy comfortors looks messy. Now I'm going to complain about Adam. He doesn't read this diary, so it's my only safe place to do it. He is frustrating me a lot lately. He seems to think that Isabella's carseat does not need to be backwards anymore. Urgh. It DOES. For at LEAST 6 more months. It angers me greatly. He gives me a hard time for using her carseat correctly in my car. Shut up butthead. You don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand him sometimes. I KNOW he only wants the best for her. He wants her to be safe. But he seems to think he is the be all end all of baby knowledge, and he isn't. And he won't listen to me when I tell him that his ignorance could prove to be dangerous to Isabella. I hate his stubbornness. He's got this "damn the man" sort of attitude. He hates authority. He doesn't like doctors. Blah, blah, blah. That's fine and dandy for Him. If he wants to be sick for longer because he hates doctors, fine. If he wants to eat foods that will make him get all gassy and have a tummy ache, FINE. If he wants to endanger his life by not buckling up properly, well, it isn't fine, but I can't really stop him. BUt it is NOT fine when it's my daughter. It just drives me insane. She is the ONLY baby he has EVER been around. He has NO clue about anything. SO why does he think he knows? He just doesn't. He is *still* convinced that you only need to nurse for 6 weeks. Even though I've showed him countless articles saying otherwise, he just blows it off. He insists on giving her foods she should not have yet. Like ICE CREAM. And he doesn't just give her a little taste. He gives her a freaking mouthful!! He puts her carseat facing front. Even though I insist on having it backwards. In my car, it is backwards. But in his truck, I know it isn't. I just don't get it. Could someone please explain to me WHY he's being so stubborn? He does love her so much, but he's so damn obsessed with always being right that he's compromising her safety (and tummy) to do so. Any suggestions on how to get him to see he's wrong? 11:07 a.m. - 02.14.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
