Getting the ick from grandparents

Me! My other thing is that no one else enforces nap time like I do… they don’t think, oh she’s tired let’s be quiet and try to get her down for a nap (however short they are…) they instead play harder and try to distract her with cuddles and playing etc 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Can relate…. especially to the nap part. Fake a baby cold and say you’ve decided no kissing is a forever rule 😂

Oh yes my parents do the nap thing too! I am forever telling my dad she needs “quiet time” ahead of a nap but he like shouts in her face when he’s playing with her instead!

I am going to do that I just can’t bare the slobbering. My partner feels the same we always eye each other across the room when they are doing it 😅

My MIL is like this and she has to facetime my husband to see the baby pretty much every day even if she is seeing her the next day 😬 drives me mad.

I’ve definitely found that since having children I find everyone else too loud. I seriously wonder if it’s because all of my tolerance for noise is now directed at my children as part of the biological survival 😂 I find myself turning down the tv, radios, shushing everyone I’m close enough to shush and wincing at how loud anyone is who it would be rude to tell to be quiet 😂😂 I wonder if it’s the same thing??

You could just talk to them and let them know your babies needs maybe they do it from a place of love and don’t understand

My MIL breaks her own rules that she enforced 😂 sent my husband a text after I gave birth saying she wouldn’t be kissing baby, washing hands etc but literally the 3rd time she saw her she put lips to cheek 🥴

But yes totally get what you mean… sometimes it’s too much. Could write a novel on how they give me the ick with my baby but who has the time 😂

this! The amount of times we have had dramas over how often they see her (at least 3 times a week!) which isn’t enough… 😭😂
And when they’re away they don’t consider the time difference so call when it’s bedtime or the most inconvenient times 😂😂

Yes I used to be so close to my mum and its sad I've basically lost my bond with her over this. It took being a mum myself to realise how toxic a lot of her attitude is. Thank god my dad is more hands off. Who would have thought I would prefer that.
My mum complains if my boy cries when she arrives but it's like what do you expect if you come in making a racket and shake 35 different things in his face within 3 minutes. She has no idea how to use a calm inside voice 😅 no wonder she keeps saying what a difficult baby I was lol.
Everything is always about her. I don't know how I didn't see that before. She shames us for using a dummy but when I considered weaning it off she said no don't because it would make it more difficult for *her* to babysit so she thinks that's more important from what she literally says is better for his development 😓 (I am not judging any other dummy using parents but she makes me feel really bad for it!)

She also took my pregnancy and birth announcement from me.

Same here! They have her at least once a week all day and when I go back to work they are having her two days. They wanted her 5 😂😂 we want her to go to nursery and my husband is going to work extended days to have a Monday off and she actually cried to us saying 'I said I would have her 3 days if she is in nursery for 2 days' 🙄 honestly winds me up but they couldn't be bothered to come and see her on her first Christmas because everyone goes to them 🤷 pees me off!
