To be annoyed by pils trying to categorize my baby?

[Moulesfrites]

I probably am BU, as everything the pils do seems to irritate me ATM, but they keep coming out with statements about 10 week old ds like:

Clearly, he's a baby who likes lying down.
He's a bubble blower
He's a thumb sucker
He's a comfort sucker

When they ave seen him do any f the above once or twice. To me, ds is just himself, and I don't understand this need they have to put him in a box.

God help me when I become a mil as they can do no right!

Hmm, in all honesty it could be worse.

When DS was newborn I happened to be on the phone to my mum when he did a massive projectile vomit (only ever happened that one time) before you know it she was telling all the family that he had some condition that causes projectile vomiting and requires surgery

When DD was 3 weeks old my mum kept trying to hold her hand and she kept pulling it away. My mum decided that my 3 week old baby must be austistic because she didn't want her hand held.

I sometimes get a bit irritated by my ILs (probably as much as I do their heads in) but I think it just goes with the territory. Having a wee one changes the family dynamic and all of us take a wee while fall into our new roles. As other posters have said on here engaged and loving grandparents are a real blessing. I think a vent on MN and then back to RL, serene and lovely is exactly the way to deal with it.

Onetoomanycornetto - you've made me think of my own lovely grandad. He used to call me the Beautiful Dreamer when I was so away with the fairies on so many occasions that the rest of my family could have happily strangled me :)

They are taking an interest in their Grandson.

I feel SO sorry for most of the IL's mentioned on MN. WE will be IL's one day!

seriously????? [WTF face]

YABU - chill out!

You're going to have a lot more to get pissed off about as the baby grows.

I think tht people chill out once the baby grows, and has a voice of its own. I can only think the hormones have kicked in when people have so many issues to start with. Once everyone gets out of my baby mode, things improve.
