[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I know you just needed to vent, but honestly a 6 mth old can't "hate" anyone.  He can feel uncomfortable, he can be uncertain with people he doesn't see regularly, etc... but he can't hate her.

What he can do is demonstrate an uncanny ability to manipulate his parents through his crying!  :-)  Seriously, he knows you're there and he wants you.  Period.  When he cries you come.

Also, I'm really not wanting to slam you and will try to be gently, but I read quite a bit of unresolved stuff between you and your mother in just this brief paragraph.  My hunch would be that you are tense with your mother, uneasy w/ your role as a mother when she is around, uncomfortable w/ her approach, etc...   So your son is picking up on this.  Tense mommy equals uncomfortable baby.

Really, it's that simple.  [/quote]

Yes, I'm sure you are right about him picking up on the tension, PP.   Watching his sweet face cloud up as soon as she picks him up is so hard, though.  I want him to be happy with her, really.  I know it upsets her that he cries so much when she's holding him, too.[/quote]
