Well this morning has been shit.
We got an unannounced visit from two health visitors this morning. One spoke no English at all and kept getting in my face gabbling Hungarian at me even though i had apologised and explained that i dont speak the language well enough to understand her. The other spoke English and was a total bitch.
First they said that the were both here because i am a single parent. I told them i wasn't. The asked where Thea's dad was and i said he is at work and the one who spoke English laughed and said that i didn't have to make things up! I felt like slapping her. I explained that we weren't married but that we lived together and that the only reason i was even in this bloody country was because Richard works here. She really didn't believe me.
Then she says have you taken the baby outside yet. I said yes of course i had, to the shop etc. She actually shouted at me then! She called me bad at being a mother, that babies should never leave the house until they are at least 6 weeks old unless they are going to the doctor. Now its not like i took my daughter outside in a friggin snow storm, yes it is cold here now but fuck if we need milk we need milk and i'm not a moron. She gets well wrapped up in her snowsuit and hat etc and because she is in a sling she has my body heat too.
Then they told me i need to get rid of baileys that it was wrong to have a dog and a baby together because of germs.
I got so sick i asked them to leave and she said they would leave when they were ready not before!
She asked me if i had been depressed since Thea was born and i said no because i honestly haven't. She laughed at me again and said she thought i wasn't telling the truth. I told her i didn't appreciate being called a liar in my own home and if she wasn't to going to believe what i said then i didn't see the point of her being here. She asked about breastfeeding, i told her that now my milk had settled in everything was fine and we had no problems, and she just pulled a face at me like i was talking crap or something.
when they left she told me she thought i was hostile! And that she is not satisfied with things here and she will be back in two weeks. Yeah right lady i'm gonna let you in my house again!
How dare she call me a bad mother! Thea is happy and healthy. She has put all her birth weight back on and then some! She is alert. I am with her 24/7. I sing to her, talk to her, play with her, read to her and she isnt even three weeks old yet. What the hell else could i possibly do?
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHh!

How god damn rude. Is there anyway you can report them and change HV's??
i think you were very polite considering hun - they would have been out on their arses before they knew what had hit them if it were me!
