undermining you.

do you get other people undermining you in regards to your children. or asking someone else something about them but not you as their parents.

for eg…

my inlaws think its ok to give dougnuts to my 7month old…just a little bite they say…kuch nahi hota. after i have said no, they still give it. i dnt get it.

secondly, i dnt want my kids having nuts. peanuts. my inlaws will ask OTHER PEOPLE is it ok to give her nuts…ive said NO, so why ask the rest of the country, even if its ok for them to eat it. I SAID NO.

but hey who listens to the mother …

and it doesnt help when husbands asks;

does it matter if our 2 yr old eats sweets/chocolate etc, i mean, these are baby teeth they will fall out anyway..:smack:

Re: undermining you.

OK just for the argument says, does the same logic applies (mothers call is the final call) when there is a conflict between what you are expecting from your hubby and what your MIL is expecting from him. She is the mother so her call should be the final one, right?

Tee hee, I am such a bee jamalo

Re: undermining you.

nadz... do you want to write about a day in your life blog or something? seriously I will love to know what goes on there.. must be ahrd for your lil girls to face this drama all day long!

Besides, your husband needs to be on board for your statement to be effective! otehrwise you will be considered that one snob from west and will be greeted with things like.. "ham ney bhi bachay palay hain inhain tu kuch nahin howa"

either let go of some stuff or move out.. seriously, its not healthy for your daughters!

Re: undermining you.

i agee with gtg, you need to sit with your husbznd and come to an agreement. if you are saying apples and he is saying orange, not only rest of the family but the children are also going to take advantage of the situation.

remember grand parents be it maternal or paternal are going to spoil the child, its their grand kid but if you dont want something then make sure your hubby is on board with it. he is the one telling his family not to feed donuts and make sure his family is listening. you got to stop nagging and take the approach....is this good for our family, how xyz would effect our family, etc when talking to your hubby. hopefully you guys will be able to have a constructive discussion over various day to day issues. all the best!
