My son's length is in 100% pct, weight is a bit over 50%, and he still tumbles when he walks. Am I a failure?

Question

My son is approaching 10 months and although he's tall/long, he's lean, not skinny, but not fat either. He walks, but doesn't like having someone hold his hands while he walks. He would tumble every 1 or 2 steps.

My inlaws keep saying what a big loser of a mum I am and insisted that I "go back to whatever I did before I had a baby" and leave my baby with their expensive and "experienced" nanny.

That way at least my baby would be rid of my "crappy breastmilk".

And he would be doing more productive things, instead of listening to my "crappy reading/singing/talking" and watching my "crappy daily activities" (I bring him along everywhere because although my man doesn't work, he doesn't want to do baby-care stuff).

Well before baby, I did some modelling, but I can't do that anymore because my man doesn't allow that (he also says I'm too ugly now to ever return to modelling stuff anyway).

What can I do to be a better mother for my son?

Answer 1

Honestly? Get rid of your husband - and with him the inlaws. Your a fantastic mother. Don't let other people tell you otherwise. x

Answer 2

If you are serious about all of this, the best thing you can do to be a better mother is find your self-respect and take him away from these terrible people.

Answer 3

Get rid of your man and inlaws.  Your baby is only 10 months old after all and is walking.  You're doing a great job.

Move well away from the bad influence of your partner and his family - its not doing you any good.

Whats stopping you from modelling again??

All the best in what ever you do.

Answer 4

I really have a hard time believing this is real because who in their right mind would let someone talk to them that way!.. children fall, that is how they learn to walk.. tell them to take their crappy money and shove it where the sun is nto so bright and tell your hubby to be a darn dad and kick him when he calls you ugly..who would really let people treat them that way and wonder if they are a bad mom? sorry if this is real you need to wake up a little.., i would have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who allows someone to treat them this way

Answer 5

you are a failure if you keep your son in this situation and anybody that talks to  you like that shouldn't have any contact with your son including "your man"

Answer 6

is this true?!? what pigs my in laws and hubby say i'm a great mum even if i think i'm not my daughter didn't crawl till 12 months and she's 2 now and fine very intelligent atualy your fine as you are a great mum.Ignore them x

Answer 7

First I'd go to the inlaws : F*ck You!

Before the baby you did some modelling, well I'd say you'd make a model parnt without their advice or should I say interference.

Answer 8

Oh dear, the best thing you can do is take your baby and go far away from all of them. You deserve better.

Answer 9

The best thing you could do for your son is to pack up and leave that loser family. Including the man who tells you're ugly.  

Answer 10

Stop answering the phone when  your inlaws call.  

Answer 11

this is obviously a joke!
