Helping a mother with her child also has its negative side.

For the first seven months, while I had to breastfeed my son, I was on maternity leave, then we hired a nanny. She was young and very attentive to our songirl , he really liked her, and we calmly left him with her. But soon she herself became pregnant and left us. And before the child was two years old, we changed five more nannies,the experience was hopelessly unsuccessful. Either the nanny turned out to be too harsh and rude, then untidy, or simply inattentive. I decided to stop experimenting on my son after a neighbor called me and said that she had just seen the nanny screaming at my child and hitting my child hard on the hands.

I fired the nanny and began inviting my mother to babysit our son. Since then, she has been helping us for several years. Leaving the child with her, I am calm. I am absolutely sure that she is extremely attentive to her grandson, because she loves him immensely. She walks with him, feeds him and often even cooks his food herself, and slowly teaches him to read and test-antibiotic.com write.

But there is a downside to all this. Nowmy mother constantly teaches me how I should raise my son correctly and pokes my nose into some completely insignificant and even ridiculous mistakes: either I give him the wrong vitamins, or I bought some wrong pants, I walked less than I should, put away his toys.

It's annoying, of course. I want her to help with the child when I ask her, and the rest of the time she will leave issues related to raising and caring for the child to me. However, she believes that since she babysits five days a week, she has a say and the right to tell me what is best to do.

In addition, I don’t like at all that she often makes her comments to me right in front of my son. I think this lowers my authority in his eyes. However, we have no other choice. It is not yet possible to enroll my son in kindergarten; I also no longer have the strength to experiment with nannies.
