[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I know what you mean...well I don't exactly because my mom does not do these things.

However, it was your mother's INTENT that made you feel bad and that is enough to make one feel terrible. I could not imagine my mother not respecting my wishes or even joking that she would simply let my baby cry.

Also, the nasty suburban mom comment? Your mother sounds very immature.  Poor woman, to be so insecure at such an older age.  Must suck to be her.

Rise above it.  Personally, I'd give her the cold shoulder for a few weeks. Hire a sitter and let her know that until the baby sleeps, then you will have a sitter that will be followign your direction.

I have 3 children, the first two sleepers, and the last one., not so much. Posters who have sleepers have NO IDEA what it is like dealign with a child who is a poor sleeper.  We are going on 2 years and my littlest one often does not sleep through the night.[/quote] OP here. Thanks to all who replied. I know it doesn't read bad, but they were very snide comments and she was very trite when she said she'd just let the baby cry it out.  There is a bit of history here. I feel like she has never really been happy for me. I remember practicing walking in my prom shoes and her criticizing me for being a bit pigeon-toed. This was about an hour before my date picked me up. Made me feel likes complete idiot and totallyself conscious.

And there are probablydozens of other similar examples I could come up with.  I think I just need to minimize conversation and exposure. The scary thing is I see my older DD starting to interact with her in the same way I did with my great grandmother who was a stodgy old woman stuck in her ways.[/quote]
