We use water from the fridge filter and my DD gulps it right up. But my mom constant tries to get me to warm it up. She's even tried to get our nanny to convince me to warm it up.</p> <p>I should add that my mom is actually an awesome grandma to my DD and a huge help to me. I just think it's funny that she's so hung up on this issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-grandmothers#post-2164398 Fri, 01 May 2015 17:13:18 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2164398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother got very upset that my 4 month old (at the time) was wearing jeans and a button up shirt -- she was adamant that babies should not wear pants! They should preferably just tootle around in diapers and a t-shirt/onesie :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crazy-grandmothers#post-2164393 Fri, 01 May 2015 17:04:36 +0000 babynumber1 2164393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother is so old fashioned some of the things she says are down right ridiculous. </p> <p>Today's gems were:<br /> She is afraid my sisters family is going to have DSS called on them because my niece and nephew eat in front of the tv instead of the kitchen table. Her quote "if they tell there teacher about that she will report them!"</p> <p>She also thinks it's horrible parenting to have a baby sleep in the parents room for the first few months. "Babies need to know their place"</p> <p>And my sister should not have another baby because they live in an apartment. *gasp* they are unfit parents because of this. </p> <p>It is over the top! Please tell me we are not alone with crazy antiquated ideas from 85 year old ladies. </p>
