Can I rant?š
Okay I just need to rant about something. I want to know what you guys think. Am I wrong? Am I being over dramatic?
I just had my first baby boy who is just turning 8 weeks. My MOL is always telling me what to do with him. Lots of things in which I donāt agree. Like getting him āCry it out till he sleepsā which I think is so wrong in general let alone an 8 week old. She tries to put him to sleep on his stomach when we are visiting, which I tell her please place him on his back to sleep as it is safer. She disagreeās and tells me donāt worry just keep checking on him to make sure his face isnāt in the blanket and he can breathe. She just always has to give her opinion, and acts like she knows my son more than I do. Sheāll come to feed him his bottle, and only feeds him half then claims heās full when I know in fact he isnāt. I tell her he isnāt full he just likes to take short breaks in between and she acts like she knows him and tries to put him to sleep, I tell her please finish his bottle so he gets full and she just does whatever she wants. Everytime she comes over she just criticizes every thing I do, and sits and moves all his things around in his nursery, she just makes me feel like Iām stupid and I donāt know how to raise my baby.
It just gets so frustrating!
Also, since this whole coronavirus began, Iāve been so scared to take him out of the house. The past week sheās been going out with her other grandson and sheās having people over at her house and going and coming placss, then wants me to take my son over to her house to see her. I told my husband itās not the best time to take our son out right now as we need to keep him safe. He told her that and she keeps demanding we go. Iām so scared to take him and expose him to something because I know sheās been around lots of people and to lots of places. Am I wrong for not wanting to take him at this time? Especially because it is literally impossible to see a doctor now, I dont want to risk him catching anything and I canāt take him to see a doctor.ļæ¼ Like itās not that I donāt want them seeing him, its just that I donāt want him to catch anything from being over knowing that every day she has people over and going lots of places. Im not risking my baby getting sick. She tries to guilt us about not going but I want her to understand he is way tooooo young and I donāt want him to get sick.
