I take it you have the leapfrog table too...

We do, but I meant it to refer to The Clapper.

Ugh, my MIL rubs her big, fat, dry paws together like a stereotypical movie villain right before tying someone to the train tracks. The is supposed to be my cue to hand my daughter over to her. I ignore it.

A million times this.

Next time she does it say "Lights on. Lights off."

I think it's an older generation thing. It burns me up. Treats mom like a dog who responds to commands.

That's weird, I've never seen this before. Is she rich? Does she also have a bell to ring for Jeeves?

Ignore it until she uses her (polite) words. Just turn away when she does it and move to a different part of the room.

I never heard of this before and would HATE it.

Bizarre

Umm I never heard or saw this before.

Huh? Step mom claps her hands twice and you're supposed to know that means she wants the baby? Maybe pretend you have no idea what she's doing.

Dafuq?

I hate the "clap clap" as a way for people to signal they want to hold a baby. It's entitled and rude. Help me not punch my husbands step mother for this shit.
