'I don't see your baby enough'

Anyone else so OVER hearing digs about not seeing their baby enough?! It's the MIL, it's my own grandparents, it's extended family. Yet when you do bring baby to see them, it's in their completely unbaby friendly home and they just sit there watching and saying ooh watch him on that corner, watch that door etc.
It is stressful enough having a very active 10 month old without receiving pressure from other people.
I think it's hard (but amazing) being a mum and really wish people understood that you don't need another voice in your ear telling you what to do

My in-laws used to be like this too and it was so annoying! We ended up cutting them out for several reasons and we don’t have that problem anymore

Yepppp. My parents are divorced too so we have 3 sets of grandparents to make time for and it’s honestly exhausting to hear from them that they feel like they don’t see our son enough… like we are doing our best and that’s all we can do 🤷‍♀️ it’s come to the point where I’ve told my dad I can’t make everyone happy all the time.

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
