[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited my ILs when my oldest was 6 months and MIL told us we were "SO MEAN" because he was still rear facing in his car seat.   "He can't see anything!"

My mom called me an "abusive mother" when I was visiting her with my young kids (including a 2 year old and a 4 year old) because I wanted to windows closed while they slept at night.  It was HOT, but she refused to put on the air conditioner, because "we get such a lovely breeze."  The windows in the 2nd story room we were sleeping in were low enough that the two year old could fall out, and in fact there had just been a story on the news a week before our visit about a toddler that had fallen out a window and died.[/quote]

Both my MIL and my mom gave me crap for breastfeeding (I did supplement with formula, but they were adament for all formula all the time) and for "back is best." If I had a nickel for every time I heard, "Well, WE put you on your stomachs to sleep, and you were just FINE"...[/quote]
