I am pregnant, my brother has always been the golden child and when him and his wife had their first baby years ago they made it clear that certain things were no longer the done thing with babies- baby walkers, bouncers and that kind of thing. My parents respected that (well they honoured their wishes but were quite rude behind their backs)
Now I am pregnant and my mum particularly keeps mentioning these things as "you loved yours when you were a baby" and "they make life so much easier". I shut it down as "well I've herd that they aren't recommended anymore" and she just keeps on saying that I'm going to need so much support when baby comes and you take help as its given.
I just want calm and to manage my pregnancy as the best I can, but she keeps giving advice. I find it so frustrating as she respected my DB and DSIL wishes, but she seems to think that as mother of the babies mum she has extra weight.
I just want her to stop. I am happy she is excited, I just want her advice to be left to one side.
