My MCNs, cloth nappies and DPs mum... I just want to cry
Ok, I am probably being an oversensitive pregnant woman... but I am seriously about to break out in tears over this.
DPs mum asked a few months ago if I needed help washing the nappies as I had mentioned that they needed to be pre-washed. I said thanks but no thanks as it was something I wanted to do. She seemed ok with that.
Then a few weeks ago I had mentioned I would start the pre-washes soon and would come up and collect the nappies so I could get it all done as the weather has been miserable. DPs mum again offered to help. I consulted with the ladies in the cloth thread and got some very useful advice. I decided that if she wanted to help = great but I was going to go through the process with her etc and get the right detergents etc - she was ok with this. I had collated information on washing the nappies etc but was yet to email it to DPs mum.
So last night - DPs mum said she is going to start washing the nappies tomorrow and was there anything specific she needed to do. I said um, yes - we discussed it a few weeks ago - I will get the stuff for you asap and give her some $$ for the detergents cause I now can't get to shops easily (whole other thread about why I don't have my car).
Anyway - to get to the point of this story... I just read on facebook that DPs mum has asked a relative in UK who uses cloth (not sure what type of cloth) what she washes hers in and if it was anything special because DPs mum wants to start washing the nappies for me and she has no idea what to use. The relative responded with "Nothing special really just wash them in Non bio and no fabric softner - stops them from being as absorbent" which I know is good advice... but I feel like these nappies are being done behind my back and now I realise I want to wash them... I want to get the nursery ready. I want to do all these things and ppl keep offering help and because I don't want to offend them I keep accepting it and then getting upset when they do a nice thing...
Ok now I am crying.... I want to ring DP and get him to stop his mum washing the nappies and say it is really important to me for me to do them but he will think I am a dill (he has said in the past - mum wants to help so please let her) but I want my nappies back! They were stored at her place as I bought them because we had no room at our place and the was to be no baby stuff in our house before we reached 12 weeks and then I was too lazy to go get them and now they are being washed without me :cry:
Ok I am now officially a nutter and whinger and will end this post... I don't know if anyone can help (anyone feel like retrieving/stealing nappies lol!)
I just had to get this out otherwise I will pick up the phone and become the "hormonal pregnant TK"
Thank you for reading :hug:
