I need advice and to vent:

When I went back to work, I thought it was a good idea for my mom to watch my baby. She FaceTimes me yesterday and she’s feeding her banana. I obviously got mad at the fact that I wasn’t going to feed her anything yet til I know she’s can sit up on her own with no help (my baby is 3 months). And not only that I feel like as her mother I should be able to be the first one to spoon feed her. I told my mom how I felt about wanting to be the first one to do all those things for her. And her response, “you already were the first one to feed her and bath her” (meaning when she was born). Soo today I reminded my mom that I wanted to start the baby off with veggies so she just want all the sweet things. Now I’m thinking if I should find someone else to watch my baby that’s gonna respect my wishes or suck it up and let my mom do what she’s gonna do with her?

Yikes! I’d definitely find someone else! I think it’s important to be able to trust your sitter since you are leaving your baby with them all day.

Just because she’s your mom does not mean you have to deal with her doing whatever she wants with your baby. Find someone else or have a serious talk with her. I’d be so mad. My mom did something similar the day I had to give my son formula I grabbed a bottle I already had (I received bottles as gifts for emergencies) and I went to the store came back and she gave him a different bottle because he “didn’t like the one I gave him” I was upset cause she didn’t ask me or tell me until after the fact she turned out to be right but still she didn’t bring it up with me she made her own decision about my 2 week old baby

Sit down and have a serious talk with her. She may be grandma but she clearly isn't up to date on baby safety, and she needs to respect your place as your child's mother. If she can't let you be the mom and call the shots, then grandma needs supervision herself and I'd absolutely find an alternative sitter.

My MIL tried some of this same crap when she first started sitting our son, and I've battled her as often as necessary to get her to follow my husband and my expectations. It's definitely not easy but I don't play when it comes to raising my son the way I think is appropriate.

So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that

What's wrong with a Bumbo?

What's wrong with a Bumbo? I am visiting my in-laws for Mothers Day and I brought my daughters Bumbo along for the trip. Well my in-laws just thought it was the coolest thing. DH's cousin is pregnant and her mom asks her, "did you see the baby's Bumbo chair?" and she snaps "yes!", and her mom asks "do you want one for the baby?" and she goes "NO! I will never use one of those for my child!" and then no one said anything else about it.

Will your Mom be in the delivery room?

Will your Mom be in the delivery room? My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.

FTM problems... So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It's making me sad. Like I wish I could quit my job and be home with her.

I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
