A bully mom...

peting73 is off work this week since he has his birthday tomorrow (14th) so he is home with me and Alexandra. :-) It is wonderful getting some help with her and such. Not to mention just to have him home and him BEING there is great.

Tomorrow it is me making dinner, since he has his birthday and all. :-)

He has looked forward to this week to, since he has decided to come with me and Alexandra to the few activities we do during the week. He is very very involved with Alexandra, and we share as much as possible when it comes to caring for her. Didn't plan that, it just happened and worked for us.

Anyhow!

So today was the third meeting of that parenting group that I am sure I've mentioned... And dude... DUDE!

It's not so much the pink brigade thing that really starts to bother me, oh no...

It's one of the moms...

See, I got bad vibes from her at the first meeting. And she just keeps proving me right.

She is a bully and a know-it-all. I'll call her Bitch-mom. All the babies in the parenting group are the same age, sorta. Born from late July to early September. So is hers, but this is her third child. Off all off us it is her that has older kids, and one other mom that has one kid earlier. The rest of us, 6 more moms (including me), are first time mothers.

And EVERY SINGLE TIME, she has to point this out. That it is her third kid, so OF COURSE she knows what to do and how to do and OF COURSE she is right! And today really took the cake.

See, there's another mom coming to join us in the group, but she couldn't today, and since she got our emails she sent an email to tell us so (very nice of her!). I replyed all and Bitch-moms email showed as not working. OK, so I figued I'd ask her if I'd gotten it wrongly.

So I did today. She hardly acknowledged my existence, so I had to ask more then once... And before leaving today, I figured I'd aks the other moms what kind of baby carrier they use, since I haven't been that happy with my Baby Björn one and have done some internet-research... I am a internet-geek, so of coure I turn to the internet to do research... which she promptly shot down saying that doing that is stupid and one shouldn't trust everything one reads anyway, you know... Promptly hinting at me being an idiot, because you know... I have to be, not being a "normal" mom... Woman, I am not the only one wearing nail polish, but I guess since you have a french manicure done in a salon! Not to mention you buy new prams for all your kids and new toys and pretty clothes and go to pilates with your kids and....

GAH!

And the interesting thing is, the other moms? They just nod and agree and think she is the best thing ever on the planet and everything she says is gold... Typical yes-sayers... Except one. But she is just like me, sitting there since we sorta have to.

peting73s reaction when leaving: "Why hasn't anyone told her to shut the fuck up already? I am sorry you have to go there..." and gave me a hug. X-D

Oh well... Next meeting as at the lil library where I've worked the most and where I know all the librarians and they really like me... So fuck you! GAH!

Not many more meetings with this group, thankfully... The idea with these parenting groups at the Child Welfare Centers are that you are supposed to get connections so that you get to know other moms and your kids can play with one another as they grow up...

Yeah... No... Like that's ever going to happen...

We go to another activity, me and Alexandra, called Öppna Förskolan/Open Preschool where they have activites for kids 0-5 years old. :-) They even have special hours for kids 0-1 years old, so that's the time we usually go. I bet Alexandra and me will meet MUCH nicer parents and kids there... Just saying. :-P

Talking about kids...

How EPIC ain't this Halloween costume?!?!!! Geek-parent alert! :-D
