i have a 5 month old baby. she’s my first and i’m quite protective of her after an incident in which my grandma pushed her pram and nearly stepped out into an oncoming bus. i grabbed the pram in time but since then i’m very cautious.
she is really starting to get to me. she keeps making digs because i say no when she asks to push the pram, she also keeps trying to give my baby chocolate, etc.
if i let someone else hold my baby she’ll make a dig about ‘ooh you’re lucky, i don’t get to hold her for that long!’ which is a load of shit - i visit her multiple times a week and stay for hours to keep her company and she holds her as much as she wants in that time. she’s just had visitors and when they left they said aw are you going to take the baby for a walk? and my grandma said ‘no op doesn’t let me push the pram she’s very possessive’. she also makes digs about how i won’t leave my baby in her care for 20 minutes while i pop to the shops - that’s because she has had multiple falls etc (she’s over 80) and i don’t want to leave my baby in her care knowing i might find them both on the floor, i don’t see how i’m wrong for taking this precaution?
aside from that she also calls my baby a naughty girl etc when she cries. she’s 5 months old it’s her only way of communicating, she’s not being naughty she’s just being a baby? and i don’t want her being called naughty for that. i’ve said to my gm before can you stop telling her off for crying and she does it again the next time.
just makes me feel so awkward and i’d like to know if iabu or no?
