What does your mum want to do with your airbrush? Is she artistically inclined? (Sorry; I’m being nosy…) 😀

You can’t?? Why not?
I have been, it isn’t like acrylics are toxic or anything.

I don’t know its just what I always heard. I still do it but like I said I take precautions. I can’t see acrylic paint being all that toxic either.
Edit: and no my mom is not artistic, she thinks she can airbrush t-shirts and cars and make money.No one I know would ever show up without calling first. I’ve had friends calling to ask if they could drop by in “a few minutes” because they were around, but I can always say, sorry or whatever. Just like Jasmine said, if I don’t feel up to it, I can just say I’m going out.
But showing up without warning or without giving the choice of saying no? No way, dude! Especially not with a newborn. So your mom wants to see the baby before she grows up? How much growing up does she think Alyssa will do in a few days? She’s got years… that is, if her attitude doesn’t get her banned from your presence.
Nothing wrong whatsoever. They’re the ones who are supposed to accomodate you right now, not the other way around. And if home remodeling comes before their daughter and grand-daughter, well… need I say more?

*cracks up* I’m artistic and I have an airbrush and she’ll ditch that thing faster than she ever imagined if she knew what really went into doing t-shirts and cars.
T-shirts require decent paint and heat fixing with an iron to last any amount of time and cars require a special paint and a sealer so they won’t fade in the sun. It’s a buttload of work and she just doesn’t realize it.
Hide the airbrush and guard it well so it doesn’t end up in a closet unused when she realizes it’s going to take effort.
I think PT is right about a possible restraining order (my husband agrees too). It may be what it takes to get through to your mom. Personally, I still think you should move, far away from her. Another state at least. And have an unlisted phone number. I hope I don’t sound too harsh, but you guys just don’t need her crap.
I think you should ban your parents from ever entering your home again. If they want to see the baby, send them digital photos via email.
Sooooo after sitting around all day because my parents said they would come by I finally get a phone call saying they are still working on the house and won’t be able to make it. I’m sooo pissed right now. I wanted to say something about how the house must be so freaking important to take priority over your first grandchild but I didn’t. Hubby is furious right now and wants to call them up and yell. I told him its not worth it and its their loss not anyone elses. I just can’t believe they wouldn’t come over because they had to remodel the kitchen! Oh well Alyssa has learned how to smile and its just a crying shame they don’t get to see it. She has the cutest toothless grin I’ve ever seen.
Yay! @ Alyssa smiling! 😀
I’m sure your Mom made you wait around all day out of spite. Just let it go, it’s not worth even thinking about. Just don’t waste a whole day waiting again. 😉
I wasn’t going anywhere today (I still don’t feel up to venturing out) but it just makes me mad. I could tell by her tone of voice when I talked to her that she was pleased with herself for wasting my day.
I hate to say it since I do not like to burn bridges, but ban them from the house until, at least, they can treat you like huumans and adult humans at that. Let them know that with a new born they now need to work around your schedule. They will eventually realize what they have missed
Well, that was a rude stunt your parents pulled. I say they just cost themselves any leverage they might have had. First they snark at you for asking for advance notice before any visit (like they’d want unannounced visitors?! give me a break!) and then they make a commitment and break it. 👿 I’m breathing fire over here.
It’s your house. It’s your husband giving you his full support. It’s your newborn baby. Therefore, and without dispute, it is your choice as to who may visit and when. You most certainly can refuse to have your mom visit, and your dad too if he’s going to side with her. Your mom may go soak her head. And that’s that. It is your parents’ loss, but you were NOT the one acting like a spoiled three-year-old here. You and Danny have been the very soul of patience. Enough–now it’s time for you both to focus on Alyssa and each other. I’ll send a bucket for your mom. 😈

Then that proves the case, doesn’t it? At this point, screw them. I would disown them (if you can do that with your parents). Well, maybe just totally ignore them for a good month – no returning phone calls or responding to emails. Heck, just delete the emails without reading them! Then you can see if that calms your mom down a bit.
Or you could more far, far away!
