My husband’s grandmother shaming my son
Show your support
There's a difference between telling someone off and respectfully letting them know that it is your, your husband and your sons decision to continue breast feeding and you don't need her input
Honestly I’d just be straight up blunt and say “I’ll breastfeed for as long as I feel like doing so” cause if she’s so blunt to say what she did then why should you have to be “polite”? Being straight up honest with your answer isn’t rude at all. Maybe next time she will think before she says such stupid comments!! But this is me personally and how I’d deal with it 🤍
If you like her then I would have a chat and explain that you will be bringing your child up the way you see fit and you do not want her comments. If she doesn't stop then I wouldn't take him to see her anymore
First off I wanna say, congratulations on how long you’ve been breastfeeding for! My own mother would “say, when he can ask for milk it’s time to stop breastfeeding don’t you think?” I’d straight up look at her and tell her or anyone..” that it’s my body, my baby and I will breastfeed him for however long I see fit.” You can tell her straight up and set those boundaries. If you don’t, you will never hear the end of it. It’s no one’s business but your own for how long you want to breastfeed, your child. You got this and are doing an amazing job.
Thank you all for your comments I appreciate them!
Firstly, congratulations for breastfeeding this long? You should be very proud of yourself. Secondly, I agree with everyone else in the comments. Tell her to shut up (maybe in a nicer way lol) or don’t take your little one to see her anymore. You don’t need negative vibes around you, wth
I would tell her off yes. In a very polite and firm tone. You have a good relationship and a good relationship is based on mutual respect. And respecting you as a parent is basic
