a mother in law one I'm afraid, but bare with me.
my daughter is five months old, was born 10 weeks early and as a result has a home oxygen requirement and reflux. so not just an average run of the mill baby (if there is such a thing )
anyway, mil came for a visit today, and arrived just after my daughter had finished a feed. we keep her upright for at least 20/30 minutes after a feed to ensure her milk stays down, however she filled her nappy shortly afterwards so I changed her (she can handle a quick, gentle nappy change).
what she cannot handle is mil taking it upon herself to pick her up (in the time I was washing my hands) and then start bouncing her all over the place, making baby a 'superhero baby', letting her fall from one arm to the other 'catching her' and then, after my very annoyed daughter began to cry worse than she already was, the cherry on top was her putting her into her bouncer and bouncing the shit out of her.
mil left and what am I left with? projectile vomit. everywhere.
I'm tired of this, I give people the benefit of the doubt (have been very reluctant to allow in laws to have much to do with her) and I get this sheer stupidity. I've been letting in laws take her for a few hours on a sunday but she came back sunday and was just totally off all night and all day monday. so no more.
aibi to be so so so angry? I didn't get get the chance to say no, put her down, before she had her swooped up and jiggled everywhere when my back was turned. it's as if people don't believe me that she does indeed have reflux!!
