[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother and I aren't close and I had the same problem with her when it came to my two kids. They would both scream initially when left alone with her. It was hard for me, but I had to "let them work it out". Leave and do not come to baby's rescue. I did that enough and it's been a major turnaround. Now that my older child is verbal he actually asks for Grandma. Can't believe that based upon how things got started. Good luck to you![/quote]

But it is not always the case that it's just kids needing to adjust to a well-meaning grandparent.  Sometimes there are real reasons for the distress, the babies are reacting to real problems, and as parents, unless you have no other daycare options, why would you subject a BABY to that? Especially when it's just certain adults/grandparents, and not everyone.

It is different when they're older and can tell you what is distressing them.  Babies can't.  Do what you can to alleviate both your stress and your baby's, find a different role for your mom.[/quote]
