[quote=Anonymous]In our case, yes. Although I feel partially responsible. DH parents are very formal and into formula feeding, but I BF DD. They were very uncomfortable with this and I didn't like being relegated to the bedroom for half an hour every two hours when she was first born. My family is not formal and I felt comfortable BF whenever, so we saw them a lot more. I don't know why but this set the tone. My mother is much closer to DD even though she lives a flight away. I will also say that I grew up in a child-centered home and we are raising DD in a child centered way. DH parent's are the center, and expect toddler DD to sit through 2 hour dinners etc and be in the background, so we don't spend as much time with them because it just isn't as pleasant. And yes, that is also on DH, who does not want to spend time with his parents because it's a giant hassle to be around people who expect life to continue as though a baby isn't there. [/quote]
