I have a 21-week-old boy. He's a good sleeper and is generally asleep by half 7/8pm at the latest. Everytime I visit my mum (about once a week, it was more over Xmas) she makes some snarky comment when I'm about to leave to put him to bed because she wants me to stay. Things like 'he needs to get used to late nights at nanny's house', 'so what if he's up all night, you don't have to go to work tomorrow' (currently on maternity leave).
My siblings have children and they were nightmare sleepers because they weren't in a routine. And they stay at my mums house till late. So she expects me to do the same.
Baby starts grizzling at 5.50 like clockwork,the other day I stayed at my mums till 8pm and he was screaming. I said this is the impact of staying a bit longer! It's not like I turn up at 5 and leave at 6, I'm there from midday!
Should I say something? If yes, what?!
