OMG my FIL is driving me insane!
We live with my FIL and so I am home with him all day long since I'm home most of the day right now, Riley is only 3 weeks old.
He keeps telling me what I "should" be doing to care for her...
Meanwhile she isn't even my first child. I have a 6.5 year old DD that turned out GREAT and I also babysit for a 3.5 year old that I've been watching since she was 6 weeks old. I think I know what I am doing.
His latest is that when Riley naps in the bouncer during the day downstairs she is too scrunched up and she is going to stay that way perminantly! 
Seriously??
SO he is telling me that I should just have her sleep in an empty box or a basket so that she can lay flat!
I am so sick of him adding in his 2 cents. If only I told him all of my opinions about him the way that he holds nothing back with me!!

Re: OMG my FIL is driving me insane!
I get the same damn advice from my MIL. Praise God I dont have to live with her. Hang in there I know how annoying the "free"advice can be.

Re: OMG my FIL is driving me insane!
I'm sorry but "sleep in a cardboard box" has me 
Really? That's better then a bouncer or a swing.
I love all the advice we get, righ?

Re: OMG my FIL is driving me insane!
I would just get super-hyperbolic on him.... "OMG!!!! Babies can't lie flat on their backs like that during the day! Their heads get flattened and it causes brain damage!!!! What are you trying to do to her!"
I don't deal well with "overly helpful" people....

Re: OMG my FIL is driving me insane!
Can you lock your door and pretend you are exhausted and sleeping when riley sleeps? Probably hard this week as emily is probably at home too.
I wouldn't be able to bite my tongue with those comments...sometimes you have to bite back or they will never get it.
