I don't take it the wrong way at all Thanks for the support. I don't want you to think that Alyssa acts like this all the time, she's really a good girl. She just doesn't know how to control the situation... Believe me, she tries to manipulate me but doesn't end up winning-ever. It's just the constant butting heads about the baby that's driving me crazy. My husband says that I fuel it by reacting when she starts stuff up-he says I should just reply matter-of-factly and leave it alone or just ignore when she starts. Many of times I tell her she will not take Pippa into a potentially dangerous situation, and she storms off-BUT she doesn't take Pippa. I'm really trying to cool it about all the "baby love" because that makes her madder. I know that she will forget all about her soon enough, because Pippa is obviously NOT her priority-only when it's convenient. My husband says to give it time and Alyssa won't even care anymore.
I will keep you all updated. Thanks again!! Any comments appreciated! |
