Chris asks…

family problems am I in the wrong here?

I’m expecting my first baby Feb. 27, 2010 & everyone is very excited about my new arrival! My mom is the type of person that has to be in control of everything. Surprisingly when I first got pregnant she seemed ok, she offered me a ton of baby stuff she had leftover from myself & my sibilings. I’m 23 & been married & living in my own home for 2 years now, I have a 20 year old brother & a 6 year old sister. She told me I could take what I wanted after I had my babyshower to see what I hadn’t gotten yet if I wanted to do that. Then a month later she told me she had no room for any of the baby stuff she had been saving for so long & she was bringing stuff over. She brought everything she owned without asking me what I wanted & didn’t want from her stuff. We live in a 2 bedroom condo & don’t have room for a ton of stuff & my hubby & I was soo overwhelmed!! But we appreciated everything she gave us. Later on after my shower I had absolutley no room for duplicates & some unnessasery stuff so I gave her back 3 things. 1) A pack & play because she had given me a bassanet & crib & I didn’t have anywhere to use it & had no room to store it. 2) whinnie the pooh comforter & sheet set because we were doing a nemo themed room & I wanted things to match & again had received soo many blankets & sheets that I had no place to store it to avoid giving it back to her 3) she gave me 3 diffrent car seats, all were expired & stained & were just gross looking. But the only reason I didn’t keep them was because they were expired. I kept all the clothes, christining outfit, bed, bassanett etc.
She became mad at me because I didn’t want her stuff & couldn’t understand why I didn’t want the carseats to save me money. I told her they expired & I wanted my kids to be safe & that the hospital probably wouldn’t allow me to leave with an expired seat. She told me that sounded like a crock of shit to make money & that she wanted them back to give to a friend who’s dad is a firefighter & said they were still good. But I don’t want to take the chance with my baby’s life just to make her happy so I nicely stood my ground saying I felt safer getting new seats. My brother, then took her side & got mad at me because he feels whatever she says is correct. I sent her an link to a website from a (firefighter mind you!) with reasons why carseats expire & got this e-mail back from her saying did you send that cause you thought I didn’t belive you & how she was only mad cause she was she was upset I didn’t want to use her stuff & it was sentimental to her. I told her that I kept everything I considered sentimental….all our baby clothes, the crib & bassanett. I don’t see carseats being sentimental or putting my child at risk for that reason. She said she was sorry but I can’t help feeling like my family considers me ungratefull. This is my baby & my turn to make desicions & I’m doing what I feel is best for my baby while still trying to keep the peace & its making me crazy!! Was I in the wrong for what I did? How do you deal with crazy moms or MIL’s while keeping your sanity? I know what I did is right & its what I wanted to do but she makes me feel soo bad sometimes!

Sorry for the rant & thanks to everyone in advance!
I know things are going to get worse when the baby comes & I don’t know how I’m going to deal with it without making myself upset & crazy!!! Please help
Seven: No I’m not asking her for money, I bought new carseats myself & I haven’t asked her for a dime, I actually want to be able to buy my child some stuff on my own! But thank you for your answer & to everyone I feel much better with all your answers :)

gloria answers:

She will get over this. You just have to deal with the fact that she’s going to still be your mother and want to mother you, regardless if you’re a mother too. I argue with my mom over stupid stuff, kids stuff, financial stuff. It never lasts for long. Just tell her exactly how you feel and stand your ground. Sounds like you’re doing just that. If she is still whining and complaining you can offer an apology but otherwise ignore her, she wants you to get bent out of shape over her controlling ways. That’s how control freaks ARE.

Sandra asks…

Sewing my own crib set– help find matching fabric +BQ?

http://www.etsy.com/listing/67227797/bloom-in-orangepink-by-studio-e-5-fat
I love this collection of fabrics and I think they would be cute for my little girl’s crib bedding. I bought a mini-crib (Davinci Annabelle mini crib in espresso) so finding bedding to fit that I love would be difficult anyway. I want to find a few other fabrics that match those listed above. I originally wanted an oriental/cherry blossom theme.

Does this match?

Bonus Question: which fabric of those should I use for the crib skirt, the mattress, the mattress pad sheets, the bumper, curtains, valence, diaper holder… In your opinion?

All of them more the better

Donna asks…

Black and White Floral Sheets?

I am trying to decorate my room like this: http://onlinecatalog.ikea-usa.com/2010/ikea_catalog/US/ [PAGE 138]

Can you help me find some sheets that are black and white and floral like the ones on the bed. The ones that are on the bed right now is a comforter set that I do not need.

I found these sheets, but they are a little too expensive. http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=55692&CatID=55692&Grptyp=STY&ItemId=14328c0&cm_mmc=YSSP-_-PLP-_-ProductPage-_-American+Living+Modern+Country+Floral+Sheet+Set

Any other ideas about this room would be great too!

Thanks! Points for best answer :)

gloria answers:

E mail Ikea and ask. I bet they are in the catalog too.

Check out the accessories in the picture. It all looks so nice.
I might add some more color though.Maybe teal or turquoise ?

Just a pillow or a lamp.

You have great taste.

Can we make this the longest Q&A? WE CAN TRY!!?

Let’s see if we can make this the longest Q&A!
I will make a very long question,
and you will make a very long answer. All you have to do is copy the question if you like, or, you can come up with your own answer!
Have fun! Participate!
(don’t bother reading from here on, unless you want to)
Writing short paragraphs is an art – and for a successful blog, it is a necessity.When a reader visits a blog for a solution, they are usually visiting specifically because no longterm commitment to the piece they’re reading, or the site they’re visiting, is required. The reader can pop in, skim the contents or search for a keyword or two, and pop out. However, if they arrive at your site and visually see large paragraphs, it signals that there is a greater degree of involvement. It looks like a novel, because it is written like one.Long paragraphs often make a subject feel more complicated that it actually is. If you have a series of long paragraphs in a piece, it might even be worth asking whether you’re making this feel more complicated than it is for slightly narcissistic reasons. Maybe not, but it couldn’t hurt to ask. For a novel, this rule certainly doesn’t apply (though novelists and narcissists are probably closely related). But for a blog, it’s essential. Your paragraphs don’t need to be artificially short; they should still conform to the basic rules for paragraphs, and they should flow together logically. However, each paragraph should get to the point, discuss the specifics quickly, and move onMy nose is very stuffy and runny, I either have allergies or a cold, and last night I lay in bed in the preliminary stages of sleep, mouth breathing and drooling on my pillow, and began to feel my nose run. I awoke enough to reach for a tissue to tear, and twist, and stick up my nose (because it’s too stuffy to blow), but there was no tissue, so I fumbled with the nightstand drawer and pulled out a sock, and managed to shove a bit of that up my nose. Why am I telling you this? I don’t know. It’s three in the morning, you want coherency at this hour?Yesterday school went well. I was so happy because I actually got all everything done within the alloted time! We started at 8:00 and we finished at 2:00! And I still had time to do something else! Like laundry! Which I was wondering if I was ever going to have time to do again! And just to make the celebration extra special, I cleaned out my dumpster on wheels van! I really know how to party.I signed up for a class in website development, which I’m going to have to drop. Between work and soccer, and Aaron taking the girls to Bible study on Mondays, there just aren’t enough days in the week. Oh well *sigh* maybe in the Spring.On Saturday I had to take Emily to get soccer shorts, and the right size soccer ball before her game (nothing like the last minute), so Aaron was in charge of getting Will and Haley to Haley’s game, on an adjacent field. When we got home, lying on the table was a map of the soccer complex, with a list Aaron had jotted down. Number one on the list? "Feed Haley and Will." I found this both funny because Aaron has ADD, and he absolutely has to write stuff like that down, and endearing, because usually he doesn’t write it down, and later the kids tell me they rummaged through the cupboards and ate canned sardines and pimentos for lunch.*Haley just waltzed by the door of the office, on her regular mid-night somnambulist stroll to our bedroom, and I think I will go fold laundry, and hopefully catch a nap before work tonightBamboo sheets and random paragraphs.

I have a new set of sheets in the washer right now. They are made of bamboo. Or rayon made from bamboo with a cotton blend to make them washable. I hope when they come out of the dryer that they are just as soft as they seemed in the store. I’m not sure why I’m buying new sheets when I should be buying new pillows or a proper duvet. Or an alarm clock that wakes me up in time to go go.
Since moving my computer to my desk, my back is to my kitchen. Which means I get to write and surf the net without the constant guilt from the looking pile of dishes I need to do. What I learned yesterday is that I DO have to rinse (perhaps even pre-wash) the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Not prewashing the bowl with olive oil and hysop on it, I now have a top rack full of glasses with a wierd olive oil-hysop-dishsoap grime on it. Aren’t dishwashers supposed to make my home life easier? Isn’t this 2005 2006? Shouldn’t even the cheapest piece of crap the developer put in my condo get olive oil off of bowls and not put it onto my glasses?
Even though they still haven’t put my name on the essay I wrote, I’m going to give you the links to my pieces on Shebrew. Why? Cause I’m incredibly impatient and trust that the editors will put my name with my essay
