Thanks for your support and letting me rant guys.

My mum is very closed minded and her way is the only way - the thing is, every time she tries to give me "advice" she follows up with saying "but I had help" (ie her mother and sisters). I am over in Australia alone with no family. I have friends but that isn't the same. Don't get me wrong, this is a choice we have made and I actually wouldn't have it any other way but geez!! I think that we're doing not too badly!

Plus, when I do something with little one, as in parenting etc, I research it to death - the co-sleeping, breastfeeding etc. Mum just thinks that I am this new age hippy parent who is going to have a small child running rings round us doing whatever she wants. That is soooo not the case - what I am doing is trying to bring up a child who is LOVED, well balanced (unlike me who suffers from anxiety....) and confident!!

Hehe, I'm ranting AGAIN! I just emailed DH at work to tell him about the altercation.
Ugh.
