Pea and various mommy thoughts...
Jul. 16th, 2009 07:08 amFirst of all, Pea has put an unexpected peg in the wheel for my writing. He's not exactly the lightest sleeper in the world. He can sleep through horror movies, power tools and trucks passing by. But if there's one thing that almost without fail jerks him out of sleep immediately... it's typing! I mean seriously! And it doesn't matter how light or hard I press the keys. It almost always wakes him up! I wonder what the hell that sound reminds him of...
So... considering that I can't type a lot while he sleeps, and that he needs me all the time when he's awake, my bunnies are in the corner, starving. God, I hope this is a fase...
And now for someting not entirely unrelated. Before I became a mother, I used to hate babycarriages. Not for the contraptions themselves, no. Mostly because of the attitude that comes with them! If you're on a bus and a mother with a baby carriage needs to get on, it doesn't matter if the bus is too full or the space for carriages and stuff is occupied with luggage, wheel chairs and walkers for the elderly. Nooo. Everybody are apparently expected to move out of the way for anyone with a baby. Even if it's just in a stroller! Even if the stroller is one of those you can fold in 2 easy moves!!
It has really pissed me off to no end for years. So I try really hard to be mindful of others when I have to take Pea in the carriage on the bus. And I think I'm doing ok. But yesterday, I suddenly had a revelation as to why most mothers are such cunts about it...
We went shopping with Pea in the carriage. When we went to the bus stop to wait for a bus home, Pea was really upset and needed a bottle and he would only really calm down in our arms. So hubby sat with him in the bus shed, while I was outside having a budding headache and a minor anxiety attack. I just needed to get home ASAP. So when this elderly lady suddenly started smiling at me and sending me "glances" it really freaked me out! When the bus finally arrived(10 mins late), the lady approached me, just as I was busy getting the carriage onto the bus and dropped this bomb:
"Don't worry about getting upset when the bus is late. You're always allowed to get upset when you've got a little one."
So that's what it's all about... I guess in the old days, you could excuse any horrible behavior from women if they had a baby!! I get that we might feel in need of a little extra care and attention after 9 months of discomfort and then the stress of a newborn, but that doesn't allow us to become pure bitches for 2 years or so!!
Wondering about the attitudes of mothers...

Fanfic quote of the day
Jul. 16th, 2009 11:50 amJulian gave him a smile. "You've been wanting to play dress-me-up for a long time, haven't you?" "I hadn't thought of it in terms of these particular antique fashions, but I have had a few ideas about seeing you in something a little more flattering than that Starfleet uniform. And, of course, putting you into elaborate costumes is only half the fun."From Mr. Garrick Resumes the Stage by Kathryn Ramage.
And the slash lives on!

Oh and add Lancelot to the mix... menage á trois!!
Holy smokes!!!

I'm starting to wonder where hubby's brain is. We saw the health person today, and we talked about many things. One of them were that Pea is reaching an age where it's not uncommon for him to want to spend a few hours a day simply playing and developing motor skills. Hubby even got down on the floor and played with Pea (Who apparently never had more fun in his life).
But since I've been on Pea duty more or less since 4AM this morning, hubby had promised to take over when we came home. He did, but it wasn't more than a few hours later when he complained to me that "he won't go to sleep!"
Pea had wide open eyes and stopped crying the second I rattled one of the toys in front of his face. So I answered hubby: "Maybe you just need to entertain him for a bit?" I swear, hubby looked at me like I was mad...
Well sorry about that, Sweetie, but watching the baby doesn't mean just having him on your arm while watching TV. It CAN be, but certainly not all the time. Jeez.
