We are only new to melbourne so have no family down here at all. My MIL is here from Scotland at the moment which has been absolutely wonderful but my DS still cries for his Mummy and it breaks my heart to hear him downstairs crying and calling "Mumma" as he knows I'm with Paisley. My MIL will be gone soon and other than allowing our DD to cry I can't seem to see any solution. We made the decision not to allow ou DS to cry himself to sleep and he didn't sleep through till he was 17 months old - eek!! He did however settle really quickly so maybe the craziness will settle down soon. I feel an overwhelming NEED to be with my son, I almost feel like I'm greiving for that special time we had together as I'm a SAHM by choice and now I feel like I've lost my son.
