Anybody felt pressure from outsiders?

Was just wondering, has anyone else feel/felt pressured or judged by your in-laws or really any outsider as to how you choose to bring up your child? Do you always worry what people will think or do you just not care -it is your baby your choice after all!

I feel evidence of my inlaws trying to pressure me but they aren't very god at it Wink

Yes, often.

Really hard when there are other similar age children in the family and so lots of comparison.

I am judged for still breast feeding a three year old, for having a child who won't stay sat at a table and finds it hard when other children take his things.

I suspect it's never ending but you just have to lean to live with it and have faith in yourself for the choices you are actively making about the way you wish to parent.

Haha good on ya girl! Don't let it bother you!

Recently I've noticed my boyfriends family have come up with some really sort of catty comments about pathetic stuff like what I dress my LO's in etc. Which I'm trying to ignore but it grates a little ah! I don't even know what I've done wrong. In need of some girl power aha.
