My dad almost always goes against everything I say about how I parent my 10 month old. It seems like he does it on purpose just to piss me off at this point. We (me, my boyfriend, and our son) live with him, so I know I can’t do much since he’s doing us a favor while we find an apartment to move out on our own but it’s driving me crazy at this point. Sometimes when he plays with my son or watches him just to spend time with him, he feeds him a bunch of random table food. I’ve told him repeatedly to please not do that because every time he does, my son has a hard time pooping. What’s his reaction? “I did this to you and your brothers and all of you came out fine.” I understand that I’m a first time parent so I’m still learning as I go and I do appreciate advice, but come on, I know what his regular poops look like, and he has a hard time pooping when he does that. My dad has 4 kids, so I know that he knows about babies, but it’s like he doesn’t respect the fact that I want to raise my child differently. For example, I was talking about how I will be choosing not to spank my child when he gets older and my dad spanked me when I was younger so he thought it was ridiculous and even went as far as to say “if you don’t spank your child that means you don’t love him.” I’m honestly so tired of having everything I say be dismissed and I honestly can’t wait to move out, which should happen by the end of the month. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2yl1MGx
