[quote=Anonymous]So I just had my first baby over the summer.  My MIL drove me INSANE the first month of my DD's life with some of her comments.  I really felt like she didn't know how to hold the baby and she kept asking me if we'd given her a bottle yet. She even asked me that in the hospital!  What's weird is the answer was yes (she had to be supplemented for the first week of life) but she STILL KEPT ASKING ME all the damn time.  She was very nervous the baby wouldn't ever take a bottle.

Ahem.

I will say though, that now at about 3 months, things are better.  I think my hormones were INSANE.  I honestly felt sort of physically sick when other people held the baby if I thought they weren't doing it right.  It was very hard for me to watch my MIL handle the baby.  But the primal urge to rip the baby away from her passed. She's a good grandmother.  She still drives me crazy (and asked if I was weaning to go back to work, and if the baby will take a bottle) but it's in less primal ways and more normal annoying ways like it was pre-baby.

I snorted when I read that they reminded you to support the head.  Sorry, but that's so meddling it's pretty hilarious.

Don't use them as daycare.[/quote]
