How to tell people NO
Share with me how you guys tell people off without sounding rude, or hurting their feelings. For example: My SIL loves giving super bright screen time to my 5.5 months old baby girl. My SIL gives my LO washed salad (I don’t know how clean though), just so she can suck on the water. My SIL will pass comments saying my LO doesn’t this and that like the rest of her nieces and nephews. My Mother will bring my LO out while I am working without asking my permission. My MIL will just take my baby and go down to the shop without even asking if I would allow it. My Husband doesn’t bother telling his sister or mother off or say no. My mother would assume she knows everything about how to handle my LO, but it’s just not how I would want to parent or educate my baby. I’ve tried telling my mother nicely not to bring my LO out without me but it became a huge fight and she said I might as well keep my baby in a store room. Yup. And I usually just turn a deaf ear to all the comments made by people but sometimes it frustrates me that these people just don’t understand that ALL BABIES ARE DIFFERENT and every parent have different parenting styles.
