Family’s perspective on attachment parenting
Last night, we were with family, and I responded to my teething 14 month old’s cries when he woke up in his bed. Apparently, when I left, my step-FIL said to everyone, “if she just stayed out here, he would stop crying.” He was saying I should just ignore my baby and leave him to cry alone and in pain.
It’s so frustrating hearing these kind of unsolicited comments from family members. Especially when he has a very strained relationship with his own children.
Anyone else relate?
