One of my pet peeves is when people say to you when you baby is crying, "Boy, she's not happy!" Do you think I don't realize that my baby is unhappy? Then when I pick her up and she stops crying. I hear, "Oh that baby is spoiled." Come on, she is only 4 months old.
Do you really think you can spoil an infant? My OB nurse told me in the hospital, you can't spoil a baby until they can say the name of the stores (or something along those lines).
My ILs are here and the baby has been her normal self and not sleeping and being fussy from being so tired. She is always happy being held and moving around. My ILs keep commenting on how spoiled she is. Why should I care what they say? Only because I am uncomfortable that I can't soothe my baby or that she doesn't sleep well. It is draining for me. I do let her cry and I am not always holding her. It is more uncomfortable to let her cry when someone is always commenting on how unhappy she is or oh the baby is crying again.
Talk about spoiling. My MIL is the one who wants to take my kids to the store to buy them a toy only one month after she gave them 8 or 9 presents for Christmas. Do they need any more toys that they will forget about in a week?
