My MIL told me I had to stop letting the baby run our lives because I was "still" BFing at 5 months and we wouldn't just leave her to cry in her crib one evening when she had a cold and was interrupting dinner. Ridiculous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057346 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:50:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1057346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who says I don't enjoy feeding my LO and taking him in walks? I hate hen these things are made to be "spoiling" kids whn they are just basic needs. So bizarre </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057338 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:46:14 +0000 Bookish 1057338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yeah, I had this conversation with my dad yesterday. He told me I was spoiling my 2 month old by running every time she cried, and that she'd get too used to it and be a brat. I'm pretty sure at 2 months that's not possible :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057310 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:32:11 +0000 Boheme 1057310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband thinks this, and it annoys me so much. As if a 3 month old possesses the mental complexity to manipulate me... If that's the case, lets go ahead and potty train him and teach him to read, because he's a boy genius. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057298 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:26:22 +0000 bisous 1057298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only a few people in my family like this, so I can't even imagine if they were all like this! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057251 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:44:16 +0000 MamaMagpie 1057251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People say this?! Ugh how sad :( Babies don't have the ability to manipulate...and even if they are a bit older and "testing" you, that's just what they're doing -- testing the boundaries so they know what's acceptable behavior and what isn't, not hatching some evil plot! Oy. People. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057244 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:38:24 +0000 MamaMoose 1057244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhhhh I get warned all the time that my nine month old is manipulating me! I feel your pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057239 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:34:05 +0000 immabeetoo 1057239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: that's obnoxious. period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-got-your-number#post-1057102 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:36:02 +0000 lizzywiz 1057102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both sides of the family are old school, babies need discipline early kind of people. So I basically hear, "She's got your number," or "They're smarter than you think" or " She knows exactly what she's doing!" EVERY SINGLE DAMN DAY.</p> <p>That's right. My daughter is an evil genius, plotting the next opportunity to manipulate me to meet her basic needs. Oh, and I am an imbecile, because I keep falling for it and taking care of the little master manipulator! </p>
