so my mother comes over sometimes to visit me and the baby. she is so overbearing! I like to put LO on his vibrating seat, or on his tummy for a little while, he fusses and yells for bit but doesnt scream or cry, the second my mother hears a peep fom him she goes running and picks him up repremanding me for letting him "cry" i tell her i want him to sit alone and learn that im not always going to hold him. Mind you- this boy always wants to be held! I like to hold and cuddle him- but all day? I think its good for him to be a little independent. Also my DH (who is not always around due to work and crazy schedules) was rocking him and he was screaming, (hes colic) and he was rocking him trying to soothe him, my mother who is completley high strung, stomps her feet and runs to him about to grab him out of Dh arms! i said excuse me but you need to back up a little, If my Dh doesnt ever get experience with LO how is he going to ever learn how to be a dad and bond with him? she then stormed off and left my house. Saying she was upset is and understatement! anyone else have an overbearing mother? what do i say to her, without hurting her feelings? i am a first time mom, and her youngest, so i know why she is like this, but come on!
