UPDATE ON: I got mom shamed by a family member because I'm breastfeeding my almost 2 month old and had a second cup of coffee which I usually do everyday bc I'm 22 and over worked and tired and have a pile of homework and assignments to do. There's that.First of all I love you all for your kind messages. I was so overwhelmed with support and I could not believe the guilt I didnt even know I was feeling over coffee! it is 7:43pm and I've had 3 cups of coffee today and got 2 assignments done and I dont feel like shit! Also, the family member is my step grandmother and when she said to me today "didn't I tell you yesterday that too much caffeine is bad for the baby?!"I thought of all your suggestions and maybe I was just in a mood because baby finally went down at 3am but I had to wake up at 6 to hand in one assignment I got an extension on BUTTTT anyways, I didn't even hesitate to say "well I dropped him this morning because I was so tired so caffeine is probably the least of our worries. Here's the baby, I'm going to go smoke a cigarette" and walked away and took like a 20 minute shit and it was amazing. Her face was priceless. Dont worry, I didnt drop my son and I do not smoke. She knew that. When I went to go get the baby she apologized for being too pushy and said she would mind her business and I said that it sounded like a good idea.My stepmother then made a "joke" on my hormones after giving birth being so crazy that I gave such a response to her mother and that everyone should watch out because I'm on a mean streak. And that joking about dropping the baby is not funny. I was probably wrong on that part and I did come off strong, but her face was still funny.So I suggested maybe it wasnt my hormones, maybe she was finally hitting menopause and overly sensitive. Not sure if I was wrong or not but I put up with a lot of shit from these 2 on the daily and we dont have a great relationship. These "comments and jokes" get to me a lot but today I snapped back.i think My dad is mad at me but my son and I are happy and I dont feel like a zombie. Thanks again!!!!!! You guys are really great. Might go crazy and get a 4th cup ;) via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2mQLU97
