Hi mummas,
Want some honest feedback whether I’m being too soft of a mum and unreasonable or whether you’d feel the same. My bub is 6 months old in a week, he’s my first and a relatively fussy baby. He’s teething at the moment so is it a bit more whingy than usual. MIL always says she doesn’t get to see him.. doesn’t get to mind him, why can’t we go out so she can look after him etc. she’s staying at the moment for two nights. All she’s said so far to him is you’re a spoilt brat (this is as a joke but still it’s getting on my nerves), your mother spoils you rotten, you can never play by yourself, quit your whinging nothings wrong with you. I went to have a shower so I asked her to watch him, he’s showing signs of being unhappy and bored of his jumper he’s crying out, flapping his arms and she yells out oh you’re chatting good boy from the kitchen.. he’s clearly distressed. She NEVER entertains him, she’ll sit him on her lap in front of the television or in the bouncer.. doesn’t give him toys, what do you expect the kid to do just sit in a chair? He’s not the type of baby who enjoys to watch people he’s fussy and cranky especially with his teeth. She’s shoving a dummy in his face constantly when he doesn’t take a dummy and never has.. it’s extremely stressful for me and I don’t find her helpful. AIBU to say no to looking after him when my mum does? How do I explain this?
Thanks
