Hi, Lora, Good for you re getting rid of that! one! never had kids, but she
knows the ropes! yeah, right! wish we had tin hortons pastry shops here, or can
you also get dinners, meals?
That lady sounds like my former former former neighbor of years way way back,
and later, I did find out she had severe mental problems! my hubby worked
nights, so I sort of had Michael on a night schedule so both of us could get
some rest in the morning, and he was an infant, not in school! when my neighbor
found this out, she had a fit, and said I had to learn how to do things like
sighted people do! once or twice, she found a button or large safety pin on the
floor and instead of telling me about it, she talked or gossiped to the
neighbor across the street and worried what if the baby had found it instead of
her; my kids would place things in my hands and say, here, take that! they
never choked, etc., we were careful! they can be a pain in the drain, sighted
folks, I mean!

Yes, I know what you mean about horse's petunias! When I first was expecting
Debbie, they sent a nurse from the County Health Dept. Her name was Mary, and
she was supposed to monitor me, in case I had questions or whatever. Hicegirl,
she teased me about having a basketball. Debbie was very high up when i was
carrying her and it did kind of look like I had a basketball in there!
Well, the time she came over after Debbie was born, she started quibbling
about how I was holding Debbie. Well, heck, if it felt comfortable for me and
Debbie, and she wasn't complaining...give me a break! i finally politely asked
this Mary if she had ever had children. I found out she had not, and then I
very kindly asked her if maybe we didn't need to see each other again. I felt,
heck, since she had never given birth or bonded with a baby, who the hell was
she to tell me how to hlold her?
So that was the last I saw of Mary, no offense taken by her.
The only thing I may have done was turn both my kids into night owls because
sometimes I would walk into the kitchen with them to get a bottle or whatever,
and forget to puton the light for them.
George was always telling me to put on the light. I know neither one of them
was ever scared of the dark. Both used to wlrk night shift at the medical
testing lab vcalled Quest, Debbie still works late sometimes and Georgie had
all night shifts at Tim Horton's.. Bad bad me for forgetting light switches
sometimes!
But no, Deb and George do not walk around with infant feeders! haha

Oh, memories! I used the infant feeders for both my boys, and got criticism
like the dickens from sighted people, mind you, not the pediatrician, though;
he had good common sense, the others were all horses' petunias! grin! know it
alls, who knew nothing about folks with disabilities! That cereal is runny, so
is applesauce, and it would be a terrible mess! this way I knew they got all
their food! some folks would say if ya fed them that way that they never would
know how to eat with fork and spoon, well, they are not on infant feeders
today! another blind couple would make a bigger hole or two in the nipples of
the bottles and make feeders that way, but the infant feeders had the plunger
so the baby did not get the air which caused colic!
Sandy
also, nothing stains clothes worse than the formula! I used Dreft for the
baby wash; not sure if it is even around these days.

Oh, i bet that was fun to clean up after. The formula really disagreed
with both of them. At five months the doctor changed Deb to regular milk, and
when Georgie started upchucking at three months, I just went ahead and put him
on milk and never did we have that problem again! Yuck!
i also used one of those infant feeder bottles with Deb because, try and
shut your eyes and get a spoon of cereal or apple sauce into a baby's mouth
when they are in an infant seat so you don't have to hold them and try to get
into their mouth instead of all over them! haha
