We all are in the same boat mummy. What works for us is a) both of us are in the same team - so as a couple, we set some ground rules about naps, screen time, and meals. No one is allowed to break them unless we are on holidays. b) We let the grandparents have their way about other things, like taking the kids to the park, dressing them up, brushing the teeth. That way, the grandparents feel involved without disturbing the important routine. You have to understand, it is difficult for anyone to choose between mum and partner. So, best avoid such situations. Explain to your husband how important routines are for a baby, how your 1.5 yo should have zero screen time. At the same time, try your best to be amicable to your mil. So, when your hubby talks to his mum, he can say," listen to her, she is nice to you, isn't she?" hope this helps.
Hi, I believe that your husband say that out of anger please don't get too upset about it. Your husband must be in a very bad position too stuck between the wife and mum. I think he also hope that he can please the 2 women of his life. May be you can have a chat with your husband when both of you cool down. Explain to him your point. Try to take a step back to think that isn't it good to allow your daughter to spent more time with elderly so that when she grow older, she will learn how to respect elderly? Sometimes elder just want to spend more time with the family.
Words spoken in the heat of anger does not help in the conversation. Try to find a time when things are neutral and open up a line of conversation. Share your point of view and find a middle ground solution so you meet each other halfway. Good luck!
he probably is in a lot of stress (torn between the 2 women in his life) and said it out of anger. try to have a heart to heart talk when he's calmed down. it's important to have a open communication.
Dear Mum, Please relax. I think your husband said that in anger and talking your heart out when he is in normal mood should help
Communication is the key. Believe it was in a spite of anger, talk to your hubby about it.
