well, parents would just say things to me matter-of-factly because they expected me to take it all on board. so maybe you could write it down and say to her 'look, ive written everything down because i'm really trying to get organised for the new baby and i dont want to be worried that chelsea will feel too put out. we've moved house recently too so thats a lot of change for chels to go through. if you could try and follow this i'd really appreciate it'. dont make out like she hasnt been doing the right thing so far, maybe she just doesnt realise how important it is to you
i admit now that having a baby i realise much more how important things are. not that i didnt before but i didnt really see the big deal if a baby didnt go sleep on time (not that i'd do it on purpose!)
