The other day, my mother was over to spend some time with the kids while I booked a one-way ticket out of crazy town got some things done around the house. After lunch, we sat around chit-chatting when my 11 month-old suddenly got very chatty.
Baby: Bah Bah Bah…BAH! BAH BAH!
Me: You talking to Momma, little baby?
Baby: BAH! Bahbahbahbahgahbahdah…dahgahdabuhbah.
Grandma: Did you hear that, Kristine?!
Me: What, mother?
Grandma: He said bye-bye!
Me: Um…I didn’t hear that, exactly, no.
Grandma: Come on, baby! Say, BYE BYE Grandma! BYE BYE!
Baby: BahbahBUHBAH!
Grandma: SEE?! Right there! He SAID IT!
Me: Right. I’ll go mark the calendar, Mom.
I can’t be certain, but I would’ve sworn I saw her Googling “Harvard Admissions” later that evening.
Wow, I have the exact same conversation with my mother every day! When my daughter was first born my mother and I used to live several hours apart and we would talk via Skype so she could see the baby a few times week. My mom was obsessed with the notion of seeing my daughter discover her hands and a few times even when I was holding my baby my mom would be convinced that she could see her noticing her hands and that I was just missing it. I had to convince her that she really wasn’t doing that when she was 3 weeks old!
Be lucky you have a mother that is so interested. My mother and many of other peoples mothers couldn’t give a shit-we are not that fortunate. So what if she is excidet for her grandchild. Gettting out of crazy town???-count your blessings that you get to do that. I have a feeling that you have a very supportive husband too that you don’t appriciate. So why don’t you just stuff it.Good job Grandma for being so involved!!!!!
u shold at least listen
