I am terribly sorry to everyone here. I have been greatly shirking on my duties for apparently no reason. I have been sucked into MapleStory (which really is a lot of fun), and rather ignoring Gaia, and all of you... I will try to remedy that, and actually manage to get on here for at least a few minutes every night.
argh! my mom will be moving in with me for like 2-3wks... and she's moving tomorrow! She's moving from Tn so that she can be closer to Anja. Theoretically, my oldest sister and my nephew will be moving down within the year, too... but there's no telling.... oh my. I'm still not ready for houseguests....

It will be fun for Anja to spend some time with Grandma... And you will enjoy the nice breaks that you can get... Not to mention the one on one time you will get to spend with mom....

she's not so bad, except she goes out in her hideous pj's for HOURS in the mornings, smoking and reading the paper, messing up the order, and tossing the remains on Anja's high-chair.... and she doesn't pack the dishwasher right when she puts things in.... lol. Overall, she's not been a bad houseguest. I just wish that she'd sit with me for laundry... I hate doing that alone. Tom'll just stand there and look at me (creepy! lol rofl )... and it's been VERY hard to get her into Anja's routine. I tell her "don't hold her when she's crying just to make noise" what does she do? pick her up stressed I tell her to get out of the room when I put her down to sleep, because I toss her down, give her Bun and Snuggle, cover her, and walk out.... so naturally, she tries to stay in there for DAYS... lol... oh well.. you just can't tell anything to parents xd blaugh (at least your own.. hehehe)
For anyone that plays Maple Story, my character's name is alutricia, and I play on Mardia (usually ch3 or ch13) blaugh

It's her job to spoil the baby..... Even though you tell her not to p/u Anja she will..... Because that is Grandma's right..... and you can't win with it....

I think more than the picking her up to spoil her, I am annoyed at her using excessive baby talk at her. "Is oo hungie?" no ma'am, I don't know what that means. Ask me "Are you hungry?" that's a real sentence with real words. I don't want my child to pick up on poor grammar and poor linguistic skills from an early age. (she then badgered me about encouraging "dada" and "mama"..... seriously, I still call my mother "mama" sometimes... not a big deal there. but when I used those words, they were still in a proper sentence..... *sigh* I can't win, and it's my house x_X;; hehehe gonk heart
not that I don't appreciate the indended help, buuuuttttt.... you know, a girl's gotta vent, right? sweatdrop heart

I used to play MS (Bera, 77 priest) all the time... then I went on to EQ. ^-^; A lot less hackers, newbies, etc. And you aren't the only one who has been slacking. x.x; My computer died, I've been out of town, and just plain busy. Things are just never ending, although most things just seem to continue getting worse and not better.
See, I actually moved in with my mother in February. She drives me insane, and I know I have mentioned it before and I still am very thankful for her taking me in. However, it doesn't make how she is make me feel any different. And yet, at the same time, I have learned a lot from her and she does help me with Rhea when she feels she can. >.>; Which is better than never having any help... or at least most of the time it is.
Perhaps you can explain to your mother that you have certain ways that you do things and that Anja is used to that schedule. Kids need a schedule in order to be their wonderful cheerful selves and not grumpy fuss pots. Wonderful cheerful kids leads to learning better and more things. And you can win. She is your kid. heart Even though grandparents are known for spoiling, they should, in my opinion, spoil in a way that truly does benefit the child and does not make it harder for the actual parent. So, just try to find a way to get her to help... or ask her to do things... Like putting Anja down for her nap. Tell her the ritual and say to stick by it so that Anja won't be a fuss pot...
Sorry that I'm rambling. Err... I hope that was of some use~

I would say this is the safest way to vent.... We are here for you to go on about mom... But remember I think the best way to handle it would be to sit down and have a one on one chat with mom over a couple of mochas and voice your concerns.... She probably doensn't mean harm with the baby talk... after all it is in the name of love...

Lukily for me, my own mother and I have a lot of the same views when it comes to raising kids. She realizes that he is my kid... that I spent 9 months of my life carrying him and will spend the rest of my life taking care of him... but she is definitely allowed to spoil him in a positive way. She gets the fun stuff like buying him toys or candy, but she always asks me to make sure it's okay for him to have certain things. We don't really like for him to have a lot of sweet stuff, you know.
On the flip side, there is my mother-in-law. I love her to death, but she drives me crazy at times. One time she went with me to one of Fox's appointments. I think it was his 6 month. When the doctor asked me if he had started eating a certain food, I said no because I hadn't given it to him. All of a sudden I look at my mom-in-law and she's got this sheepish look on her face. Why? Because she had been giving him stuff behind my back every time we came to visit!!!! She still does that to this day. It irritates me. We really don't like for him to drink a lot of soda or eat a lot of sugary candy, but every time we go visit the in-laws, Fox's Nanny always gives him crap. Grrrrr. Plus, everyone wants to hold him and coddle him when he's being a brat. Granted, they might not know the difference between him being sincerely upset and him being a brat... but I do! Yet, my mom-in-law still manages to make me feel like a meanie when I don't pick him up every time he cries.
