IL's are here so i've taken ds upstairs

[ItCameUponAMidnightClara]

to feed him. crap isn't it? i'm writing this from my mobile phone. i can hear her asking dp if we give him any water. you'd think they'd take the hint and go home now.

just go to bed, hopefully they'll have fecked off by morning!

for you i used to go upstairs as i wasnt comfortable with ppl watching and dd was pants at latching so we wasnt very good at descreet! hopefuly they will go soon perhaps shout down for dp to bring you drink and hint/tell him that you feel uncomfortable with them talking about you!

hang on in there, they will go soon

How have you been today?

Oh thank god. That was horrible because while I was upstairs I could hear (or not) that no one was saying a word down here, it felt like a silent pressure to hurry the crap up and get DS back downstairs - as it was they left while I was still up there, perhaps at their next visit they can patronise me about how long he feeds for (anti bf MIL)

Constance, thank you for asking - today has been alright really, considering we all have colds and no sleep, it could have been worse!

hey, calm down Clara. You probably did the right thing removing baby to another room if MIL has a history of saying critical or anti-bf things, but when you are out of her company there's no need to worry about what she might or might not be saying.

My babies were constantly latched on to me when tiny and if that meant grandparents got less time to cuddle them when then that's the way it was. The baby is not a toy for them to play with. Just remember, you are the mother, you make the decisions and if you keep that as your underlying assumption, you will not find yourself worrying about their wishes which are secondary to the wellbeing of the baby and you.

Glad you had a better day today, hope it continues! And that your colds get better xx

Sorry that you mil is anti bf (rubbed off on her son?). As if you didn't have enough to be putting up with.
