Mother in law comparing my son to her other grandchild

You don’t need to get paranoid, every baby develops at their own rate. I don’t think you’re overreacting though x
What makes you think your little one isn’t meeting milestones ?one year old will only have anywhere from 0-5 words and was she singing it with words or just copying the sound ? I doubt it she was singing it with words ,babies are just discovering the world and they all have different interests,I’m sure yours does something that she isn’t doing and that’s nothing to do with one being smarter than the other is simply preferences of what they like doing and what they learning at their own time
I’ve never understood why the older generation insist on comparing!? Even in full grown adult life there’s things I can do well that other friends can’t and vice versa so why would it be any different when they’re still babies! He’s doing brilliantly and sounds like he’s absolutely meeting his milestones. I’d personally try and say something along the lines of ‘it’d be great to see up to date videos of niece rather than old ones I’ve already seen’ though I think your partner should be the one saying it x
Definitely not! I can get in my head and compare my son to others in family his age but I’d be fuming if someone else pointed that out to me x
