Limbo is the new normal

[Confluences]

Okay, Slow, you need to turn the tables on this circumstance in your favor:

1. Write yourself a letter to H & MIL venting out all your frustrations and anger about the untimely visit by your MIL. Be nasty and vile as far as getting all your feelings off your chest. Then read it to yourself 3 times and soak in how it will sound when you unload all your frustrations on them. If it's like some of the angry letters that I write, I usually realize they are the best written pieces of thought that I would definitely regret sharing with someone......but it felt good to write it.

2. Write a to-do list for your MIL for each day she is there and speculate with a reward for yourself if she completes each task. It could be a glass of wine, piece of chocolate, time alone to exercise, etc. Try to see how you can manipulate the situation in your favor and she may feel appreciated by helping out!

Sorry about that circumstance with regards to the baby being so dependent on you at this time. Makes sense why you're frustrated.

Definitely do Item #1 and update us! Better than backsliding!
