I live with my grandmother in law and I know what I'm about to say may make her seem like she's some kind of snobby woman but honestly she is the complete opposite. She cares TOO much about things and people. so my son is getting ready to start walking soon and I keep an eye on him the best I can but I can't keep my eyes glued to him every single second (which she expects everyone to do when they have a baby) so my son is extremely rambunctious and he falls a lot I give him head rubs and Arnica to prevent concussions. my husband and I want to get him a helmet since he is so rambunctious. evey time he falls or accidently hurts himself my grandmother in law constantly says "you shouldn't let him get beat up like that you should be protecting him" she's constantly arguing with me about this because she expects me to be superwoman or something. I completely get shes so concerned but you think I want him to get hurt. I do my best with him she's constantly saying I never let my kids get beat up like that but her kids were never as rambunctious and curious as my son is and she says it herself but she doesn't even comprehend that fact when he falls. I feel like a bad mother for letting him fall so much although I don't feel like I'm letting him it just happens like tonight he climbed my leg and just as I was about to turn around and hold him steady he fell hard and started crying she just got home and heard him crying and said the same thing you should let him get beat up like that. I feel like I'm in a constant battle with this. I'm human I have things to do and a bladder that needs emptyjng among other message things if I kept my eyes glued to him at all times o could never leave his side. my husband helps of course and his grandmother does too but she would know it all too well that if eyes have to be kept on him all the time then she gets nothing done. and not all the time is someone else available to watch my son while I pee. my husband just had it out with her tonight because he's so tired of her critisizim against me. honestly I know it sounds like she knows what she's doing but I swear to you she doesn't she just does it. I'm sure we all know s person like that they don't realize what they do.
