Normal, normal, normal.

Your baby sounds like they are behaving in a normal, new baby way.

Your mum and MIL sound like they are behaving in a normal grandparent way.

You sound like you are reacting in a normal mummy way.

I had the exact same situation with DD when she was a new bub. You just need to roll your eyes to yourself and try to ignore them.

Mum's other thing is sun in their eyes. She has gone to great lengths and acrobatics in the car trying to shade them if the sun is on their face for 30 metres/ 10 seconds or more. We'll be driving along and suddenly she'll launch her self from the front seat over the back to try to hold up a newspaper or her cardie to shield them from the burning death rays .

Ahhh! I'd forgotten she does this one too!!!.... We won't talk about whether or not seat belts remained fastened, either

I'm usually pretty good at remaining cool, but I guess that was one of those days where it WASN'T going to happen.
huge THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHARED - I feel SO much better!!! Really gotta love EB for this kind of support, there's nothing else like it

YES!!! I thought it was just me! My mum was babysitting DD when she was 10 weeks and timed her screaming then felt the need to tell me how long it was. She's a gp and she basically forced me to go to the doctor and put her on reflux meds. We tried it for 3 days to appease her and of course it made no difference. Babies cry! Plus I think my mum stressing out makes DD cry more! I was so mad at myself for giving into her. Next time I'll trust my instincts.
