For all the mums and dads?

Question

Do people drive you crazy when they think they know why your child is crying/upset/wont eat tea etc. My mother in law is constantly doing this, and saying well with my boys I did so and so. And my boys went to sleep right away, they never acted up. It really gets on my nerves! Why do people think they know better?

Answer 1

lol...I know!  My son is a cranky baby and everyone and I mean everyone is always saying "Oh, he's hungry!" or "Oh, he's tired".  No he's not!  I know his tired signs and he's obviously not hungry if he just drank 6 ounces and half a bottle each of veggies and fruit 20 minutes before.

Answer 2

I have a 3 & 1 yo and if my mother in law says something it doesnt bother me . Im a stay ay home dad and enjoy some time alone with my wife so thats where a know it all mother or friend comes in handy. I just hand the kids too them for a sleepover because they know ho to look after them. Every time my inlaws have them they look exhausted after . I guess its hard for them to remember what it was like 30 years ago when they were raising kids.

Anyway to make a point use people who know everything to your advantage, besides they are only concerned and there is nothing wrong with that.

Answer 3

I can't stand it when people try to tell me how my baby is feeling, or better yet when they preach to me about how I chould raise my child like theirs!  Drives me crazy but I guess it comes with the territory.  Maddening evn if they are trying to help

Answer 4

Yes, I hate this.  I am his MOTHER, I know what he needs!
