Apparently I'm raising my baby "WRONG"

GASuzuki · May 2009

My old lady secretary just told me it was "WRONG" to sleep with Quinn. I asked why and then she said, in a smug way, "It's just wrong. But people raise their children differently."

F*&%!!!!!! A pox on her house!

Edited to add: Yeah, she said there would be "relationship issues" between Quinn and me. That she'd be too attached.

I'd tell that lady to go F%&k herself its none of her busines and it's YOUR child and you'll do what you want. I think ppl really can't understand anything until they are in that situation.

Everyone wants to be an expert I guess.

But I guess I'm wrong right along with ya!

Ugh, love the old ladies and their unsolicited advice! I'm so sick of hearing that I am spoiling my LO by crazy old ladies...

I thought it was wrong (well not wrong - but not what I would choose to do) until I had my baby :-P

I mentioned to an older woman that we let DD sleep with us last week when she was sick. She told me I shouldn't do that b/c I'm starting a bad habit. I said, "No, I'm not worried about that at all." And then I just stood there. She didn't know what to say next, so she changed the subject.

I find that just cutting ppl off sometimes works, and I don't worry about explaining my side, I just state that I don't agree.

I can't stand people who give advice when it's not asked for. MIL does this often. She feels the same about co-sleeping as your secretary and she thinks I pick my baby up "too much." WTF?

Motherhood is the ultimate tool by which women judge each other and feel 100% justified in their opinions.

We each have our own spin on it and no kid is raised the same.

I promise to keep my opinions and my mouth as shut as possible when it comes to other moms!!!

I saw pics from 1970's of this 4/5 year old boy whith a paci - I was horrified. Didn't say anything out loud though! 5 - with a paci!

Unreal---how do you pick up your baby too much???

I'd ask to see her child psychology degree.

Whatever. It's just cuz they're old. Older people always say weird stuff like that to me like I shouldn't pay attention to my baby's needs or I'll spoil him/her. Ummm, how do you spoil a 3 month old??? My Aunt and Uncle are always bugging me about co-sleeping too and it's gotten to the point where I want to tell them to STFU already. Sheesh. They need to realize that it's not 1968 anymore, and things have changed just A LITTLE since they had their last baby.
