I did tell her today..... I kind of felt bad coz I know she is just trying to help but its been driving me mad.....

Max needed to go to the loo....so had to put Darcie down in her swing....she was tired and grizzly.....took Max to the loo....Darcie arked up....In runs Rhem and picked her up (I was in the middle of cleaning up Max so couldn't say anything straight away).... but once I was done with him I had to tell her that it is OK for Darcie to cry for a minute....but Darcie and Max are my children and if anyone is going to tend to them, it is going to be me. I told her that if I need her help with either of them, then I will ask for it.

It's so hard to explain to them. They miss their own children, they want to help you, they want the kids to like them...and really, cleaning the house is NOT a full time job! I think she gets bored and wants to do more, but I don't want it! I'm totally happy that I can go out and come home to dinner made....and once dinner is done, dishes washed, but I constantly feel like I have to get out of the house to feel like I'm spending time with my babies....I don't think that is too great for Darcie coz she only reallly day naps in the sling while I'm walking.
