Hi all.
once again i need to vent... and grap some desparate advice. i went on holiday with hubby and his family (MIL,FIL and sister in law) it was a huge disaster....they had no respect for me as a mother, telling me to feed him this and that even tho i said no 4 or more times. waking him up as i put him down for a nap... even going as far as lifting the cover off the pram and waking him up. They even had the nerve to say that its ok to put a 4 month in a car without a baby seat if you hold him, but thats not all.. while away i asked his folks to watch my son Reilly, so we could go into town . we were gone for half an hour. i came back to see a pram alone on the veranda. my son had his bandana over his eyes, balanket over his mouth and face (all i could see was the tip of his nose) and bunny rugs scrunched up over his ears. he has not been straped into his pram either. i was so scared to see if he was even breathing. (thank god he was alright, hot as could be and very red... but he was okay) i grabed him and stormed off (heres the part i cant believe, my MIL had a bubs who died of sids. she works for sids now for over 15 yrs. my FIL is a doctor, BOTH KNOW BETTER.) in my eyes they failed to take my sons saftey seriously. i tried to talk to them and said in their experience they know better. and insted of understanding or listening, they had ago at me, saying its my fault coz i didnt tell them how i wanted it done (but isnt it just common sence. (more so when you teach sids saftey). i now cant stand to look at them and i dont trust them near my son, (they didnt even ask if he was ok, nor say sorry or reacted in any way besides blaming me) im lost as to what to do, how to re-act or even to get them to show they care....as parents... what would some of you do? any help?
