My mother loves to give advice. She is always cutting out 'helpful' articles from the paper about recent studies involving children and posting them to me. She also gives me advice for me to pass onto my friends.
Her current bugbears regarding my children are that my 3 month old ds needs baby rice, he doesn't (to be fair my mil and grandmother are also obsessed with this idea!) and that my 3 yr old dd who hasn't eaten in a week because she is ill needs minadex as it will give her an appetite ( the child is already taking antibiotics and regular calpol plus vitamins).
However, she rang me from her holiday today (to tell me what to buy mil for her birthday) and told me... Looking around a castle, there was a toddler crying and the parents didn't know why so she told them the child was cold and needed gloves! She later saw the child in its pushchair with the raincover on so took this to mean she was right and the child was cold.
I am so sorry if it was u that my mother insulted, she is unbelievable! She is only 55 so she is just going to get worse.
