don't you hate

[Vickie]

when people who have no children feel that they have the right to comment on what you do with your baby? Case in point one of hubby's friends came over tonight and he told us we hold her too much, that we hold her wrong, and that we shouldn't lift her up in the air (which Hannah LOVES).

i don't think it's about people with no children Vickie but just people ...Hannah is your daughter you are the one who knows her the best

that's true my MIL's comments annoy me too

And I know not everyone without children is like that, but Stan has a lot of single male friends who make a lot of comments on marriage and children.......

 

[mommy2]

yeah i know what you mean my friends tend to do that all the time, my son loves being in the air too, its so funny to see how excited he gets, i say just forget about what those people say and just do what you feel is best for your child, i know its hard to keep quiet about their comments though but i always bite my tongue

 

[Alexas Mommy]

I hate it too... even if they have kids they can be a pain!

 

[Christine33]

that is just plain rude. just ignore - easier said than done i know - you know Hannah best, you and stan know what she likes/dislikes and people forget all babies are different.....

[Serene123]

Stans friend would hate me then, I throw Caitlyn in the air and catch her

 

[Serene123]

Yeah I've had the "feed her she's hungry!" Eff off.

 

[earthmother05]

I do find it so annoying when people assume to what's better for your child than you do! I find it really rude!

 

[princess_bump]

yep i'm with miel too, couldn't agree more, for you vickie, so bloody annoying, you no hannah best alot of james' friends, single i might add, think they no our relationship and our baby better! and my MIL is the same x x x

 

[reallytinyamy]

I hate it when anyone does that.

My latest MIL incident was on sunday when she was feeding Chloe for me and decided that the teat was too quick for her and proceeded to try and tip the milk into her own bottle with a newborn teat. I mean, WTF? Chloe does not need a newborn teat, she gets on well with the ones she has. Like after feeding Chloe at least 5 times a day for 14 weeks I don't know which flow teats she likes?

Turns out Chloe wasnt hungry and was just spitting the milk back out!!!!!

I know what you mean about people making comments when the baby is crying. I was walking about town and had just fed and changed Tristan but he was a bit of an unsettled mood - he was tired, we had a friend with a two year old staying who cries a lot at night and she woke Tristan up a lot. Twice someone said to me, 'oh he's hungry' and someone said, 'maybe he is too hot.' I know they were just trying to be helpful but it just made me feel useless as if I didn't know what I was doing. I think when you are an experienced mum, you probably have the confidence to tell them that you know what you are doing but as a new first time mum, you do end up doubting yourself. I wonder if people who make 'useful' comments realise the effect they have on your confidence.

 

[Vickie]

MIL Did that to me too, told me Hannah was hungry because she was crying, she was really just overly tired

 

[nikky0907]

My mother did this when she was over ALL the time (mind you that even though she has kids,she never even changed a diaper in her life)!

It bugged the crap out of me! And I mostly get this because I'm young and therefor apparently completely clueless

 

[Vickie]

Thanks everyone I feel gripey for feeling that way, but comments really bother me, it's like Poppy said we are new mothers, questioning ourselves anyways to have others question us to...well it really gets me (of course I had A LOT of MIL problems in the beginning and probably still would but well they aren't talking to us right now )
