Re: Pam - Grandparents class

[Guest guest]

She is really excited. I am having the first grandchild on my side of

the family. I am so glad she is taking this class. I have heard from

friends how their moms try to tell them what to do w/their babies.

Things have changed in the last 30 years. This class updates them on

all the new stuff.

Pam,

I think updating them is a great idea. All I hear from my mil and

grandmother, etc. is - they didn't do that or have that when I had my

babies. I always say I know. My mil could not understand why my dh

would go to the breastfeeding class with me, I had to explain that he

is my partner, and breastfeeding will only be successful if he

understands, supports and participates.

My grandmother keeps cutting out little newspaper clippings and

articles and giving them to me. I appreciate it, but sometimes others

comments can be so overwhelming.

I like the idea of parents and grandparents taking a class to update

them.

You made me laugh about your grandmother. I already caused an

argument between my mil and my sil. My mil was a surgical nurse. She

retired last year. My sil is a maternity nurse. I had concerns about

having a lot of people touch my newborn. My mil didn't see my point

but my sil totally agreed with me.

Pam,

I can totally understand. I have learned to nod and smile, and then

tell dh when we are alone about how I was feeling or keep it to

myself. It is not worth keep trying to tell them how you feel,

because they only want to understand their point. When I told my mil,

sil and grandmother about wanting a natural birth and only taking the

epidural if I absolutely needed to, they gasped and thought that I

was crazy!

Pam,

Aw, I think that it is so sweet that your Mom is taking a Grandparents class! It's great that it's offered! I wish my MIL would take one! LOL! Oops... did I say that?
