My parents are the type of people who think they know everything. They have never made a mistake in their life. Never had a parenting issue. In all fairness, they did raise 4 extraordinary kids, but that may have been a fluke. Growing up, we were limited to the number of activities we could do b.c. mom didn't want to drive to get us, they warned us about sex, took us to a conservative Christian Church, came occasionally to performances/recitals, etc. Despite feeling a little ignored, they also insisted on family dinner and holidays, which may be why I feel loyalty to them. My mom and I havr grown closer as I've grown older. Now with a new baby, we are back at square one.
I should be supplementing, I should be giving solids, why do I listen to my pediatrician? Why isn't that baby in his own room? He looks uncomfortable in his sling. He isn't satisfied with milk alone. Why cloth diaper, you can do other things to save the environment. For instance, don't buy juice boxes. You overdress him....and on and on.....
My mom says these things to my face, my dad sends passive aggressive emails to my sisters. They both think I should get a life. Thanks, I have one.
