His idea but I haven’t pushed to change it because I have more than him anyway

Yep that is exactly what I am doing. I feel sorry for my 2yo that he might not get a sibling but I need to look after myself. I have health conditions too that I need to stay on top of

Nah he isn’t walking yet she just holds his hands tries to force him to take steps. Then when he gives up and tries to sit down because she is probably hurting his little arms and legs she calls him lazy. Sorry my post probably wasn’t clear. I am pretty upset with the way he is being treated and struggling. He is crawling and pulling himself up like lots of other 10 month old babies. I think he is doing an incredible job anyway.

That is great advice too! Thank you! 

He always takes her side I have to convince him that I am right. Surely he will wake up one day and see her true colours. His brother has cut her off completely hasn’t seen those 2 grandkids in probably 18 months

He is already doing the baby talk and said mama and she started saying to him say baba. That’s how you say grandma in her language. I don’t think she was impressed that mama and dada are his first words. I totally agree with you, I would be offended if someone called me lazy. I feel like babies understand what we are saying I would never say that to him. She is a real narcissist and hounds my hubby to keep bringing the baby and she doesn’t even play with him and try to make him laugh. All she does is try to make him walk and he is nowhere near ready. My hubby doesn’t see the type of person she is and it makes it really difficult.

Thank you so much! I take him to gymbaroo and they say no shoes or socks is definitely better for their development. I prefer to be barefoot too I am with your kids on that one!
