[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friend put her MIL on speaker so that you could listen to what MIL thought was a private conversation and then you both proceed to mock her, and you're wondering what the problems is????[/quote]

Now there's a "higher standard" of behavior to model for your children.[/quote]

I never said higher standard. I said current standard.  Very different.  If we are supposed to accept the last generation's standards, half the vaccines wouldn't be given, car seats would be used, seatbelts would be optional, and smoking in front of children would be fine.  I think it's fine that I want my children to be raised with the current standards for child rearing.[/quote]

No kidding!  While my MIL and I were still speaking, I got so tired of how "overprotective" I was to insist on my INFANTS riding in car seats.  Evidently if your child survives to adulthood, you're an expert who can do no wrong, and everyone else is just silly, and it's personally offensive to you if people choose not to give their babies cow's milk at 3 months old while putting them to sleep face down on an adult mattress.

Now MIL communicates 100% with DH or DC's.  Works much better this way.    [/quote]
