[quote=Anonymous]new mom here to a newborn, it takes forever to pump just 1 oz of milk--literally 45mins to get 1 oz. A few days ago i pumped at 2AM and 4AM for a total of 2 ounces of breastmilk. the next morning i took the milk out of the fridge and put it on the counter to get ready for baby. DH asked me (in front of my mom) whether he should put the milk in the fridge and i responded no leave it on the counter im going to use it soon. approximately 15 mins later, my mom, who decided to be helpful went to the kitchen to wash dishes and she asked "do you need this bottle of milk or should i thwow it out?" to which i responded "leave it there i need it" and she proceeded to dump out the milk down the sink. once i find out i freaked out at her, yelling and screaming and cursing - i dont know if its the hormones or stress or mix of other things but i just lost it. i worked soooo hard to pump that milk, 2 45 min session in the middle of the night just to get 2 ounces for baby to drink in 5 minutes and i specifically said dont fckn touch it and she still threw it away. Once i was upset she proceeded to say she's sorry and she didnt hear me, but i still kept yelling making the point that she didnt need to wash the one fckn bottle on the counter. she then used this moment to turn the topic around to be about how she can't believe shes being cursed at, and no one has ever spoken to her that way and blah blah blah. i just want to vent here and i feel like she thinks the world revolves around her. she kept saying "ITS JUST MILK, YOU CAN PUMP MORE, BUT IM YOUR MOTHER, I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD YELL AT ME AND CURSE AT ME" whcih made me want to punch a wall even more. she never breastfed or pumped milk so she has no clue what it takes and basically didnt care about the work it took and only cared about herelf. sorry, but just wanted to vent here. thanks for listening.
