[quote=Anonymous]Moms who have guilt about working and wish they could stay home often are hypercritical of their child's caregiver(s) as a way of making themselves feel better. I think some of the things you're upset about aren't really a problem, they're just reasons to dislike people that get to spend a ton of time with your child. Moms tend to be more laid back with kid #2, so when they were asking about what foods you'd tried at home/if you were doing tummy time they either (1) figured they could skip the long-winded tell-me-about-your-feelings gentle chat and just be direct or (2) it's just a communication style difference---these women take care of (I'm guessing numbers here) probably six infants all day, which is pretty difficult and exhausting work. You read something into their communication that wasn't there, probably responded more harshly than they were expecting and now have a fraught relationship with them. I agree that the stomach sleeping isn't great. [/quote]
