Are all MIL's crazy???

Lauren0204Robert

I know alot of people get flavored pacis or make their own and please dont feel I'm saying anything bad about that bc I understand sometimes that's all that works for some babies. But me and my df have decided we don't want to give him those or put anything sweet on his pacis but his mother keeps suggesting it.. for one we DONT have a fussy baby at all the only time he fuses is when he is hungry and that's when she suggests it... Really? Why not just feed him? second it is not your choice.. Just bc you did that with your kids doesn't mean we want to with ours. So far I have refused to leave him with her bc she DOESN'T listen... I'm not sure but I kinda think she really believes he is hers... I didn't go through 20hrs of labor and a csection for nothing.... She also thinks it a good idea to wake him up or keep him up when he is obviously sleepy.. She came over to our house one day and complained I had him in just a diaper... we were in the house... He had peed on his outfit.. And I didn't see any reason putting another on him to get dirty while relaxing at home...

Oh and now she thinks me and him got engaged too soon... He got divorced 3yrs ago.. And she's the one who got all "upset" that we moved in together and had a baby without being married but now that we are going too she didn't like it..

She makes me want to scream...

In short yes. All of them are crazy. Lol. My bd mom doesn't even care im pregnant im 18 freaking out over being preg and she says well its bad timing... I was just like really? Thank you for noticing! Sooo unsupportive and the only time she's mentioned the baby in the last 11 weeks was to say im not even allowed to touch her jetskis this summer now. Freaking mean... owell... sorry urs is crazy too... id tell her my baby not urs.my decisions not urs if u wanna see the baby back off a little.

Not all of them are. My mil and I disagree about somethings but for the most part she lets me be, she'll suggest some things but not to the point of nauseaum. The worst she does is give my son "juice boxes" that are mostly just sugar water and buy my daughter sickeningly cute pastel pink clothes (I hate lots of pink) so it could be worse.

Start printing out articles about how pacies are bad and how you shouldn't give babies anything but formula/breastmilk and give them to her "because she is SO interested in the topic"

unless your pediatrician says s/he needs one then there is no reason to introduce one. Our pediatrician gave us one at the hospital because my daughter wouldn't stop nursing and just let the milk drip out of her mouth. She was using me as a human pacifier at times and eating with no problems at others. She had plenty of wet and dirty diapers so we had permission.

@uncaffeinated_katie my sons dr told us he will only eat when hungry... So if he is eating im going to let him. That's crazy!!

@brianewmom I wouldn't have as much an issue if she suggested things and let then go when I said no... But when she keeps going that when I get angry.lol.

@conreeaght we had no choice a regular paci got given to him bc the nurses in the NICU gave it to him but he almost never uses it which is the way we want to keep it. Every so often he'll want it to go to sleep but spits it out after 10 minutes.. She better not ruin that for me.

I told my fiance that if we do leave him over there and she does Anything we tell her not to that she won't EVER keep him again. Which he agrees with me.. I wanted to ask her when she became his mother bc she tries to act like it... our son was in the NICU for 4 days and there was a couple times she tried to come in when I said no bc I was talking to the dr... Then when we got him home we had to use water on him during diaper changes due to his circumcision and use vasoline on his diaper and I kept trekking her to hold on but she "knew what she was doing"i took over very quickly!

we are using regular pacis. i didnt even know they had flavored ones but i wouldnt give that to a baby. we are using pacis to help prevent SIDS. but if she spits it out im not going to force her to take it

@proudmommy8789 I didn't know it til after he was born that they do.. He is only 5 weeks old and I don't want him having those. I know the most popular one ive heard of is vanilla. He is just fine with formula and his regular paci.
