[quote=Anonymous]We had families over for Thanksgiving. We have an infant and the remarks/unsolicited advice all day was so annoying. My mom and MIL talked about how 
“ spoiled” parents are these days with all these gadgets, and how back then they did the “ hard work” of parenting. We have the Snoo and they both made remarks about if being “ lazy” parenting. They gave us advice about how we need to move the baby out of our room because we don’t want to get him used to being in there. He’s an infant and doesn’t even know which room is which at this age. They talked about sleep training because he will get use to the device and not be able to sleep on his own. My sister made a comment about how I “ gave up” too early when breastfeeding and now have to supplement because I didn’t “ work hard enough” to make breastfeeding successful. I did and I have low supply and need to supplement. Other comments were about his he           “ sleeps too much” and he would sleep longer at night if I kept him up during the day. My mom and MIL claimed they did that with all of us as kids. I expected some of this but it really irritated both my husband and I. I feel we have handled the newborn stage really well and I feel happy how things are going. My husband has been over it, but I’m a little more sensitive and it just really irritates me. [/quote]
