    thank you all..really I feel so lost atm with the lot of them

    Little up date on my baby niece , the one that was force feed on the cold back verandah

    Sunday night my Inlaw's called the doctor to come to their house as she wouldnt settle down and is now quiet sick if a bad cold I so wonder why.

    It really does break my heart.....I wish I would have said please take her inside out of the cold...why didnt I do it

    FIL rang us J man TUESDAY afternoon to see if we got home alright on sunday and to inform us on the above. Just another thing to upset us again.

    CL - I need to learn from you hon...I really need to speak up more.

    poor baby girl Its not your fault though Maz, I mean think about, they wouldn't have listened even if you did tell them to take her inside.

    Im sorry i have only just seen this thread

    Im glad you spoke up abit on your weekend. They have NO right to judge u as a parent. I have seen you kids (the little 2 atleast) and they are the most gorgeous and relaxed children. Mia was drawn to them straight away (which i was suprised about as she doesnt do that alot to other ppl) which just shows how fantastic they are. Your a great mum and dont ever let people look down on you. I know its easy for me to say.. especially when i dont do it myself. My SIL is preg atm and I have to sit through comments of " The baby WILL feed every 4 hours and stop overnight feeds in the first week". Its heart renching to know that. I havent been able to get it out of my head. I wanted to cry for that poor baby and its not even born yet Same person that says " im not breastfeeding a baby every hour when i can formula feed every 4 hours" wtf... I dont even know what to say to that. I get shut down by DF's family all the time. " why r u doing that?" "why cant she have a tim tam?" "babies get cravings for KFC too" (yes they actually said this!) and when i tell them something about Mia i get the hesitant.. "ahhh ok" grrrrrr. I too need to learn to tell them where to go.

    Ok.. so that kind of turned into a little vent for me... back to topic..

    Your wonderful and your family is wonderful! Dont let them make u think otherwise. mwah xox
