If you’re a parent, you know how painful it is to constantly receive unsolicited parenting advice from other people in your life.
One woman had a massive outburst in front of her friends and family after her sister-in-law kept trying to tell her what to do with her 10-month-old baby.
She’s 36-years-old and recently had a bunch of family and friends over to celebrate her 10-month-old son’s christening.
Some of the family members she invited included her twin brother, his wife, and their two children, who live out of state. She paid for their flights as they don’t make much money.
Recently, her son has been teething, and she has been trying to get her baby to self-soothe and use teething toys when he cries instead of giving him a pacifier.
The day before the christening, her baby cried for a long time while her sister-in-law told her she should give him a pacifier. She tried explaining very clearly to her sister-in-law that she didn’t want to use pacifiers.
However, over the next few days, her sister-in-law wouldn’t stop telling her what she didn’t want to hear.
Her son would cry, and her sister-in-law would continue to go off on tangents about how if she used a pacifier, it would soothe him.
When her sister-in-law did it again after the christening, she couldn’t take it anymore and snapped.
