[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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. [/b]

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]

So you’re teaching your kids that the world revolves around them?  Bad idea.  [/quote]
