[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the house is such that MILs voice can keep the baby awake, the sounds of baby crying + you going down the hall to pee, then DH doing the same must create quite a ruckus in the he whole house in the middle of the night. Add that to the fact that many seniors have insomnia and other sleep related issues to start with, it’s no wonder she’s up “prowling” (and by that yiu mean walking around her house). [/quote]

She is an adult, not an infant. She can be woken up and not make it everyone else's problem.  She can think "hey, DIL said that night wakings are normal and we should let them do their routine, guess I will stay in bed and go back to sleep." Instead she's all over them in middle of the night asking loud questions after being specifically told that it's disruptive and prolongs the baby's wakeup.[/quote]

Were you there? You seem so invested in how this went down.[/quote]

Just another mom of an infant (and a toddler) who has experienced the joy of staying with older relatives who don't get it.[/quote]
