I keep telling my mom do not pile clothes in my babies crib,pack and play or on my bed. I told her if she won't do laundry correctly than don't do it at all. I woke up yesterday mom her piling clothes on top of me and asking if I wanted coffee. I told her the baby kept me up all night can we do this later. She wouldn't let me sleep she kept asking me over and over again if I wanted coffee. I told her brew some and put it in the fridge. I will drink it later. I was trying to sleep she kept saying but laundry..I looked at her saying mom not everyone wants up at 5 in the morning. I tried to sleep while she made piles of clothes around me leaving them on the bed. When I got up to feed the baby I needed a place to sit to feed my child I had no place to sit because she piled up where I sat. I threw them back in the laundry basket to feed my child. She looked at me threw it in a pile on the bed.
When I told mom do not throw clothes in my bed,the babies bed or the pack and play. I put a laundry basket beside the babies pack and play for the many blankets. Moms answer was pile them in the pack and play. When the baby was asleep I tried to balance him on my hip and picked up the blankets out of the pack and play.I asked mom to help me by getting them out of the pack and play. She rolled her eyes and went to bed. I asked for help. I almost fell face first into the pack and play with a sleeping baby. The baby cried out waking up because the jerky movements from catching my balance woke him up. The baby cried and I cried from frustration. I just need places for my child to sleep.
My mom made the comment about how there is a doompile and I told her if she can't put them up don't wash them at all. She wouldn't listen to me. I told my husband I don't mind her doing laundry but don't leave it piled in my bed, basinet or pack in play for hours. It resulted in there being a big argument and I decided I will continue to throw every piece of clothing away that I find in my bed,crib or basinet until she takes the hint I need those surfaces for my child.
Mom is threatening to call her lawyer tomorrow all because we told her to go to bed at night and sleep instead waking us up puling laundry in the bed calling herself doing laundry by piling it on me. Dont do chores while we are asleep there is a time for everything. She said either we do what she says or she will tell her lawyer. It isn't illegal to ask a person not to pile clothes up making her daughter be unable to safely lay her child down to sleep.
My husband demanded me to put her in a home. I asked my husband isn't that a bit dramatic. I told mom anything that is laying in my child's basinet,crib or on my bed will go into trash until we learn the importance of putting up laundry.
She complained about the pile of clothes she keeps putting in a pile in my bedroom. I told her if I see clothes piled up one more time they are going in trash.there will not be a doom pile because we won't have laundry. She asked why throw all the clothes away. I told her only the ones that are not put up. People can live life as nudists until we learn put boundaries. Don't play with me.
Mom is now refusing to clean after herself do laundry or bathe as response to my request to not pile things up and put it away...maybe she is better in a home maybe they can help here where I cannot.
I am a tired mama.
