haircut part 2
I went early, to no avail. it went fine, though. she was pleasant and no one was uncomfortable. she did say "if I start bawling uncontrollably, just ignore me." she didn't bawl. she didn't even get glossy eyed. she acted like a normal parent at their child's first haircut appt. which makes me wonder if all this "baby did xyz and dh and I were brought to tears by it" bullshit she's always posting is just that-bullshit. maybe she says those things because she thinks it makes her look like a better mother, I don't know. some things are tear worthy. but your kid dancing to a movie or playing at a playplace...not so much. my money is on major exaggeration. yeah, she probably feels something inside. but not enough to cry over it. save that for his first day of school for crying out loud! at this rate, she'll be so cried out by then that nobody will be listening anymore!

Oh I don't know .... My daughters MIL told her that when SIL was a baby DDs MIL and FIL would not watch TV but stare at their perfect son playing in his play pen... or sleeping... for hours. Now that is either weird or creepy. But then this is the same woman who so wanted a daughter that one day she dressed her baby son up in baby girl clothes and took photos of him. Yes she still has the photos and showed them to DD.
wow. I have no words.

When my DD told me I just looked at her. I think my eyebrows disappeared into my hairline. The one thing that came out my mouth was "Oh dear."

she's always been very dramatic. if she has a cold, she acts like it's deathly pneumonia. that kind of thing. she LOVES to be the center of attention. she didn't seem like she was holding back tears. I do think my friend's assessment of her was right. she said that she doesnt' believe sd is crying over every little thing at all, that she's saying that on fb to try to look like the best mom ever. like it means she loves her kid more than anyone else loves theirs. I cried when bd19 got on the school bus for the first time. I cried when my kids were born after everyone left and I was alone with them, because I was overwhelmed with love and raw emotion. I cried a few nights ago watching bs6 sleep, thinking about how he will likely never be married or have children of his own (he is mildly autistic) and just not know those very normal parts of life. there are times when every parent cries and it is understandable. and the first haircut IS a milestone. I just think sd gets way too carried away, and I have a very hard time picturing her and her dh crying in mcd's because their kid played in the tubes for the first time. I would feel like a jackass even witnessing that, let alone doing it!
