1 day and already a vent.

My in-laws are in town for Easter...that's something in and of itself. I had wanted to go home for Easter because my family lives on a big farm and always does a huge BBQ for Easter with hayrides, egg hunt, lots of sports and games, etc. (We would have invited his family too...although apparently my family is overwhelming for them) But they decided to come up here, so now I'm trying to find a way to still have LO have a fun Easter instead of it being golf and adults all day Sunday and just dinner. I'm hoping to take him to the museum for their Easter activities on Saturday.
Anyway, earlier this week we decided to take LO off his pacifier and he has been doing so well with it, we've done four nights and days without and he's slept through the night and been a little fussy to get to sleep but great. (It was a fluke, because I forgot it one night,a nd when it worked we decided to go with it). Well, yesterday my in-laws wanted to take care of LO while we were at work instead of him going to school, so that's fine. We told them NOT to give him the paci unless absolutely necessary, like he's having an uncontrollable meltdoen...guess what they did...gave him his paci to put down for a nap...and apparently he wasn't even fussy or anything, they just did it anyway.UGH! It's hard enough to get your head into starting this process, and LO has already gone through some of the hardest days without it for them to do that! They did this with our niece's daughter too, when they were trying to take her off the bottle, they would give her one at night anyway. So frustrating.

Grandparents. They'll never learn.
The one evening last week my mom was over visiting DS and I while DH was at work. I put DS to bed at 7:30p as usual, and continued to visit with my mom. 15 minutes after I put him down, she asked if I was
That's frustrating. Hopefully they understand why it's a problem so it doesn't happen again. Good luck.
IT's almost laughable that this sort of thing happens with a lot of grandparents.
And I wouldn't DARE tell them anything about it. MIL holds grudges forever, and is a drama queen, I don't need her getting the whole family to hate me again...I
