*vent*
I picked up DD from my parents before work tonight, and after telling me she had a horrible day, mom says,
"I need to talk to you." 
(below is a summary)
Mom: "I think you need to reconsider how you parent. I think you have spoiled your daughter, and it's wreaking havoc on how she behaves for others. When you picked her up immediately after she cried when she was younger has made her so that she can't be put down or handle being away from others."
Me: "I don't agree. It's been proven to be harmful to not tend to a baby younger than 6 month's needs."
Mom: "Well, I guess I messed you up then." (she's a drama llama)
Me: "Don't play that card. You didn't know better. I do."
Mom: "I guess we're just going to disagree."
Me: "Yep."
GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does she not understand separation anxiety?!?!
Bless my DH for reading me the excerpt from Dr. Sears baby book about separation anxiety and that it's healthy and normal. I'm going to copy it for my mom. She just can't understand AP, and thinks we're totally spoiling DD and that we've made her into a difficult child. (heaven forbid she was born that way)
Someone replied to one of my posts the other day (can't remember who), saying that unless you've had a difficult baby, you can't understand what it's like.
AMEN, sistah.
Re: *vent*
oh wow, she thinks you've already ruined an 8 month old for life?
I'm pretty sure they don't learn how to be spoiled until they have a better handle on cause and effect.
