What more can I do?

Whenever we are around DH's parents and baby is sleeping, DH's dad wakes her up.  I finally have gotten fed up with it.  Everytime she is in her carseat and sleeping he touches her and wakes her up. I nicely say "Grandpa don't wake me up, I just fell asleep." Its as if he doesn't hear me.  He touches her and wakes her up. Sunday he did this TWICE.  I was so upset that I scolded DH.  I told him that Lauryn can't get a 20 minute nap in and be ok. She needs at least an hour nap. What more can I do?

    stop going over there and say "we cant take her over when she is napping because she always gets woken up, we will be over when she is awake" maybe that will give them a hint.

    I would say what everyone else suggests. But if your LO is like mine she doesn?t fall asleep until we get into the car. So that excuse wouldn?t work for us. Luckily my family members know how Riley is and knows NOT to touch her while she is sleeping. If worse come to worse just walk into the door and say please don?t touch her she just fell asleep. That should make the point clear

    I have tons of stupid relatives and even after i told them they kept doing the same things just because they wanted to do so. Like playing with DS when he needs to sleep. So, i just took an approach of the bitchy mama. Now everyone knows that if they do something egoistic, i'll bite they f****g noses off. It might be not the best way, and it is very sad that people are so self concentrated, but it works.

    Try having DH talk to you FIL. Have DH explain to him why it is important that your LO needs to sleep. If that does not work, you need to sit down with him and explain to him that if continues to wake her? then your not bringing her over and that they can visit when she is awake at your house.

    I had that problem, the first month.  my mil came over and ds was sleeping, she walked over to the swing and I said, do not wake him up!  he didnt sleep well last night and he is finally sleeping.  i had to repeat myself several times, she wasnt happy but she listened.

     maybe dh can say something to him?
