My parents and in-laws are actually pretty respectful of my parenting choices, though they'll make comments here or there. But sometimes I feel like my husband and my style of parenting seems too much, or is perceived as ridiculous in the culture at large.
For example, neither of us feels comfortable with the idea of leaving LO (5.5 months old) in someone else's care, he is breastfed completely on demand, he sleeps with us in bed and when he goes to bed I go with him even if it's early. We never let him cry and don't have him on a schedule, really. One of us even sits in the backseat of the car with him whenever possible! A lot of this stems from first-time parent anxiety and our general personalities, but I'm grateful that we mostly agree and that we're able to work on opposite schedules so one of us is always at home with the baby.
Anyone else feel this way?
Alternately,are we insane?
So frustrating.
