**venting**

It's really frustrating living with my mother-in-law. Our baby is not even 2 weeks old so the extra help is nice, but it can be overwhelming and over bearing having a shadow telling you how to raise your child. I know she means well don't get me Wrong but she can be too much! The biggest thing is the cultural difference I guess, she was born and raised in Haiti for most of her life then came to the U.S. I was born and raised in the U.S. So she has these Haitian superstitions and things she believes in doing and not doing and with all do respect. This is MY child that I carried for 9 months and pushed out &&I will raise him however I choose. At the end of the day this is EXACTLY why I need my own house asap!!!

I agree with @mberjuste5. And if baby is on formula you can also tell her there is water IN the formula. And as for his nails, don't cut them - just file them down so they are not so sharp. And don't tell her 😁 It's your baby; do as you see fit.

Don't give the baby water lol..... Try telling hey mama I'm breastfeeding him he's okay I'm drinking water he's getting it from me. Also tell her hey he's too young for water even if he was getting formula Etc... Maybe give her examples of why you should wait to give water Etc. Bc you don't want her to give him water when you aren't around thinking she's doing good, let her know hey I'm not being mean but this is my child and I'm raising him my way. Mother in laws are just so much to deal with lol.... That's why I keep my distance from the in laws bc they seem to look for bad and always want to give advice on what you need to do etc @naturalbeauty

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

What would you do? - baby shower

What would you do? - baby shower SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever, I don't need her, I didn't have this baby for her to raise. I'm married, living on my own and paying all my own expenses.

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 your thoughts on the matter? Do u think the parents are behind this? Idk because I haven't met the parents or children. I just think at 5 it's very young for children to really understand. What do u ladies think?
