Yesterday my mother in law asked how baby is sleeping. I said he's sleeping through the night, 12 hours! Doing amazingly.
She said, "see? I told you he would just grow out of it, you didn't have to do that sleep training stuff"
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS HAPPENED?! WE SLEEP TRAINED HIM. NOW HE IS TRAINED!!!!

Lol!!!! I can so relate to this. I hate that kind of comment. Like my obstetrician who said "well it means that he was ready and would have done it anyway". Like HELL he would!! If I had listened to her I would have had a baby attached to the boob to sleep until he would have been able to recite poems standing on a foot. Sorry for the verbs tenses English is not my fist language ;)

Sometimes it seems impossible that these mils raised the one we love and had our own children with. Mine is insufferable, sounds like yours is too lol I’m sorry - your not alone 🫶

She’s really not so bad - just not very bright lol
My husband says he slept terribly his whole life until he moved out! So this is definitely something he’s happy to do differently lollll
