So this baby boy will be Salvador Cerecedes III which is awesome BUT there is a really annoying issue where my honey's family thinks they can nickname him and really its starting to piss me off. His mom keeps saying Trey, as in the third, our close family friend calls him Trip, and I want to scream SHUT THE HELL UP. I am over it. It is NOT their child therefore what we call him is based on OUR decision not theirs. I also am inclined to give him a middle name which is a no no since my honey and his father both do not have one and it will "change" the name. Well I don't really give a shit, I might and thats just what that. Also, his family is a Raiders fan, and his other Aunt id a crazy obsessed Dallas Cowboys fan, sorry but I can't stand either team. i am a Saint's girl all the way everyday and my child will not wear either of those teams shit so why do they both insist he will wear their teams shit. NO not happening. Ugh why do people need to butt into everything? At the end of the day they have NO say. OH and one last thing, I have to have another C Section, this will be my third, and Sal's sister plans to come in from Arizona to be there for the babies birth. No thanks, not to be rude but after surgery and when I am in recovery the last thing I want is people all up in my room. I am more private and need my space.
Am I being stupid?

 | Comment from Jessie22 » Posted Feb. 27, 2014 3:54pm Argh, it's amazing what people think they have a right to tell you about your child! I'm totally with Erica - just tell them that it's a different day. :) They don't need to know when it really is, if they get mad say you had to move it for medical reasons. What baby wants, baby gets! ;) |
 | Comment from jennavee » Posted Feb. 27, 2014 1:57pm I agree with Erica...just tell them it's a few days after what you're scheduled for, then when the day comes announce it right before you go in or something. Or, just tell the hospital you do not want visitors. |
 | Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Feb. 27, 2014 1:34pm Bless you and your Saints! (I'm a Hawks girl from Seattle, but Saints are my second fave team). You can politely accept the outfits your family wants to buy your little Mister. Put him in those when he has explosive diarrhea, snap a pic of him bawling his eyes out and send it to the people who gave you those hideous outfits in the first place. ;) With regard to your sister-in-law, you are perfectly within your right to write something up for all of your family (both sides), letting them know how things will play out for you and what your family needs for recovery time. Let them know when you think you'll be ready for visitors and your sweetie needs to back you on that. Sorry people are such asshat idiots. I feel ya. I'm surrounded by them daily! GAH! |
 | Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Feb. 27, 2014 1:09pm Girl, shit, I would have already told those people where they can stick their ideas and opinions and Dallas/Raiders shit, too! I don't think you're being stupid at all. I plan to tell everyone except close family like our parents, that I request they hold off until atleast the day after the baby comes to give us bonding time as new parents and such. I don't want my room full of damn people right after I push a baby out, passing my baby around. No thanks. |
 | Comment from ericalee » Posted Feb. 27, 2014 11:58am This sounds similar to a journal I read over here not that long ago. I'd be pissed too! Trey is actually our #1 boy name so while I'm quite fond of the name, the principle of this whole issue really irks me for you. Can you maybe lie to them about the day of your scheduled c-section? Tell them it is later than it actually is so you have more private time? I would say tell them you don't want them there and be done, but I highly doubt they would listen. |
| Comment from greeneyes » Posted Feb. 27, 2014 11:12am Why do people think that after giving birth we wanr to be surrounded by a bunch of people? Especially people who are going to be expressing their many opinions? So no hun, definitely not being silly |
