Re: Relative insisting the baby is hungry
Yes, it's definately difficult to deal with the relatives. My mother used to try and elbow me out of caring for my daughter all the time... I was feeding her enough or I was feeding her to much, I shouldn't pick her up when she cries or she'll get spoiled and cry all the time, I was a bad mommy because I only brought 4 bibs when I should have brought 5. You know the type.
In the end, I sat her down and talked to her; I told her that, while I appreciated her advice, that she made me feel incapable and unfit by making comments like that, and that I had to do some of the stuff on my own. Yeah, she was unhappy for a bit but she did back off.
