it's a very strange feeling. i've an year old son who is getting more attached to my mother in law. and i think i'm getting possesive about that. am i right on having these feelings? is it normal for a new mom to have such feelings. i'm still breastfeeding, so he needs me when he wants to sleep in the night.
i try not to pick him up all the time whenever he cries, but my mother in law picks him as soon as he cries. she spends quality time with him playing and i can't do much coz i've to run errands.
i talked to my husband. he said i shouldn't behave like this. he'll grow out of it sooner or later.
is that true? i don't know what do i do. i'm trying to talk to myself a lot.
kulu replied. For your satisfaction try to maintain some habits in your child like he will sleep only in your lap somehting like that. Do you work as early as possible. This time of your son will not come again. try to divide your work with others and spend more time with your son. When our baby recognize us really it is a great feeling. Your mother in law even is right on her place,as grandmas are always very much attached to grandsons, but your try to enjoy their moments also. U should laugh and talk with your son and should also sing and make faces for your son. I do so and enjoy my son's childhood. god bless your child. Thnik positive. whatever is happening, is for good only. abc replied. Hello 1234,
dont worry abt this. he will sure outgrow it. I am a full time working woman and so my son is always with his dadi.. and so he is obviously more attached to her.. and in many ways we do not agree in the way she pampers him and lets him do whatever he wants and eat whatever he wants.. but i am not so much worried that he is not so attached to me.. as I am more concerned that he should grow up being a good behaved and healthy child. i guess in every joint family this is a problem.. but dont see it as a problem. try to play and feed him as much as possible.
take care
