[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in a similar situation to OP. I love the family, but mom is currently on a leave from work and is home. I often feel like she's shadowing me, and I've told her (politely) "when xx cries, I can handle it. I'll let you know if I need some help" she told me that she knows I can handle it, but it isn't easy for her to sit back and listen to her baby cry without stepping in. The main issue for me, is I set stricter boundaries for the child and mom gives into whines and screams. [/quote] Instead of telling her you can handle it and thereby making it about you it might be more effective if you made it about the child. Eg, it's confusing for xx when you come in and out. I'm not saying you are wrong in saying you can handle it etc but for some parents it might go over better if you present it in terms of what is better for the child, because that's kind of the point anyway, right?[/quote]
