My future mother in law gave my son water in front of me last night at dinner. (In front of everyone) we have told her we want to clear it with the pediatrician and to ask to start stuff like that since my fiancé and I are new parents. She has also let my 8 month old try gum and her husband has given him ice cream and chocolate behind my back and without consent. What do I do? We live with them and I am trying to not go off but after almost a year of living there it is eating me alive that no one is respecting my wishes just because I'm 24.
I'm 19 and living with roommates (bfs dad and Karen) you need to be a bitch if you want them to respect your child I had to woman up and be a bitch because everyone was trying to claim my baby as theirs and treated her how they wanted, including feeding her things she shouldn't have so young.
Yeah it's hard and now it'll make things awkward but oh well doing it for my son and no one else
See I feel like this with my own father, I told him over and over and now I go visit my kiddos with him but never leave them with him
@tbucket, yeah very true! And yes I know .. gum of all things he doesn't even have his top teeth just his bottoms. It makes me angry and I want them to be excited for their first grandson but at this point I cannot care about their feelings on this .. they do not respect me so I will have to put my foot down to where they understand and if it continues they will not be able to watch him.
Just keep telling them and who in the heck gives a 8 month old gum?? I've been there before loving with parents, and I kept reminding them and really putting my food down saying: I'm the parent, I'm raising this baby, you are not. Please respect my wishes. Or at least ask me first before you give.
It's simple.. respect the moms wishes. It's been 23 years since their last kid and a lot has changed. Either way I'm about to lose it if it doesn't stop lol. Moving out here we come!
Yeah it makes me so mad! And the messed up thing is I have to work in the early morning so I'm about to honestly have to change my schedule. I told my fiancé this morning if it doesn't change someone else and not his parents will be watching them. I want my baby on a good diet one better than all of us are on and that means no junk food and pop.
My mom does the same thing and it pisses me off. She was feeding my 3 month old niece a damn Oreo, I was like wtf. I just flat out told her don't give my baby that junk, but with you living with them they're just gonna keep doing it. I make sure when I go to my moms and never leave her alone long enough to give her food.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Geez I'm sorry! That's so hard to deal with! And yeah unfortunately only exploding on people and putting a heavy heavy foot down is the way and I'm trying my best not to but it's about to come down to it.. I've stated things nicely a lot since he's been born and that has gotten me to where I am today!
