[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know and remember as a FTM that those comments really bothered me. With water under the bridge, I realize it was just an awkward transition from being seen by parents and in laws as a child vs an equal. Just remind them that you do know best and keep on trucking![/quote]

Yeah. I have to say, although it's all annoying, none of it is terrible. My own mother is always asking me if I "like" my son. Yes, mom, he's 10 months old and I love him! Just like I loved him the last twenty times you asked. She also always asks to babysit but she has health issues that preclude her from doing so. Only she gets hurt when I say that so I just find a way to stall. Whatever. She's a loving grandparent and that's what's important. It sounds like your in-laws are, too. Once you are not so sleep-deprived, and also are more confident in your own handling of the baby, it won't bother you so much (except for the safety issues like the pillow -- if they're going to watch your son, they have to agree to follow your rules). Until then, you pretty much have to grit your teeth and endure it.[/quote]
