I know you’re not supposed to compare babies. I know. But please tell me if you would feel the way I do in this situation.

My nephew is a month younger than my June baby.

My June baby has been a challenge in every aspect you can think of. Sleeping. Eating. Being independent, etc. His cousin has not.

I don’t like to compare but there are days where I literally think I’m being challenged by God.

My son has gone through two huge, terrible, frustrating sleep regressions. Ones where he would be up for HOURS on end in the middle of the night.

He’s already got 8 teeth at only 9 months.

He HATES solids with a passion. He’ll sometimes eat okay but 90% of the time he’s incredibly difficult when it’s time to feed him. Hell scream and kick and push away anything I put in front of him.

He’s always moody :(

NOW - the cousin?

Sleeps through the night since birth.

Two teeth only

Crawled wayyy before my son

Is always happy

Eats his food happily without whining

Wtf?

Worst part is I try and educate myself about all of these milestones and my SIL has extremely odd Mexican beliefs that I know are not true and yet her kid is an angel. I give up.

To make matters worse my in laws think she’s the perfect mother and they always comment on how my nephew is such a happy baby but won’t say anything positive about mine.
