If your mother in law can't respect *your* parenting decisions, not hers than you shouldn't feel guilty or obligated to leave your baby with her.
Her opinions about food saftey (particularily the honey - It could contain botulism for heaven's sake) are clearly outdated. It was also common in her time for women to engage in their 5 o'clock cocktail with their husbands. This was not a 6oz glass of wine, either. We're talking manhattans, etc...
If you don't want to leave the babe with her, stay home. Thats all there is to it. |
