[quote=Anonymous]This is more of a vent than anything else, but it's driving me crazy.  My 6 month old does not like my mom, at all.  He starts crying within seconds of her picking him up.  The second I take him back, he is all smiles again.  She 'helps' us by taking him to daycare 2 of the 3 days a week that I work so she can spend a couple hours with him in the morning.  However, I'm finding that I'm constantly late on those days because I can't seem to get ready without going back into the room to quiet him down when she is holding him.  As a side note, I don't have the best relationship with my mom and we are not very close.  I appreciate that she wants to help and spend time with the baby, but she also does not listen to my advice on following his cues.  Every time he cries, she insists he is tired and starts loudly shushing and trying to rock him, which generally results in him screaming louder.  He also completely refuses to take a bottle from her.  She has been around him since day 1, and he has just slowly developed into not wanting to tolerate her at all.  Although she 'loves' babies, she was not around much when my brother and I were little - we each spent 12 hours a day in daycare during the week and spent weekends with grandparents so she is not all that experienced.  Sorry for the vent, just so frustrated and tired of listening to him cry on the mornings she is there... it is torture to my ears and my heart.[/quote]
