I’m a little peeved at my Mother. The other day I left the baby with her while I ran an errand. When I came back, my Mother looked red faced and exhausted. As I was putting my daughter into the car My Mom referred to her as that “defiant little thing.” I was too shocked to respond. I drove away fuming. I know a lot of Mom’s say their kids are perfect, but mine really is…I swear! She’s on a schedule, she eats well, and she sleeps in her own bed. What could have driven my mother to that insane conclusion other than an early onset of dementia? I finally got up the nerve to confront my mother about the grossly inaccurate comments directed toward my little angel. Her response was “she’s stubborn, just like her Mother. She insisted on drinking juice on my couch and when I tried to take it she threw it at me” Then she said I was the same way at two. Could my baby be entering the terrible two’s? God I hope not. I just re did the living room and bought a white sofa!
