[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m all for parenting in a style that works for you but expecting someone to watch your baby and hold him for naps when they have their own baby too is crazy. I think you need to talk to her and explain what you told us. It’s not working for you to hold him and you think he might do better with one on one care if she wants to continue that style. Regarding the toys, what toys are we talking about and how old are the babies? [/quote]

OP here. Both of our babies are almost 6 months old. She still expects for her baby to play with rattles and tiny toys. I started bringing out new sensory items, toys with music, a jumper, etc., and she said that is all too stimulating. She also claims a bath is “ too stimulating”. She talks about him having so much energy at night, and that he is over stimulated, but I thinks it’s a combination of being under stimulated, excited to see his parents, and him not being about to self-soothe. They will spend hours sometimes putting him to sleep.

I respect her choice to parent how she feels is best, but I have noticed her judging how we sleep trained mine. She was making comments about how terrible it is and how how she is going attachment parenting because she didn’t want her baby to feel “ abandoned”.

She is a neighbor turned friend. We bonded during the pandemic since we were cut off from so many people. [/quote]
If she didnt want her baby abandoned she could have stayed hone with him or gotten a nanny to do exactly what she wants. [/quote]

OP here. This is not nice or okay to say. She has to work to make a living. They did try to find nanny but many rejected her because of her PT hours. [/quote]
