My first AIBU, don't hold back.
I have an eight week old son, he's your average baby - eats a lot, cries a lot, occasional precious smile. Yesterday I had a friend and her daughter over for tea, friends baby is a couple of weeks older. Of course her baby was angelicly quiet the entire time but my baby screamed the entire afternoon whilst I desperately switched him from breast to bouncy chair to my lap in an effort to calm him down. I got quite stressed by the whole thing and with the usual sleep deprivation was pretty close to tears.
Instead of the camaraderie I expected from another new mum she said "you can tell he's going to be a spoiled mummy's boy can't you?" I had no clever retort, I just resisted the urge to cry and jiggled my screaming son a little bit harder.
AIBU to be hurt by this? I know I should probably just let it go. Is it possible that my baby was screaming because he was devastated that I'd let this troll into our house?
