Sometimes I get frustrated when I talk to my Mom because everything she remembers about having babies is positive! According to her...my brother and I were good sleepers, eaters, never put anything in our mouths, never got cranky before bed time...the list could go on! I want to believe that I was sooo perfect but come on Mom! 
My MIL is the same way..she raised 3 boys and all of them slept through the night at 3-4 weeks! Uh huh...
Do your parents have a selective memory about your baby days?

My mom says that she can't remember any of the bad things...She only remembers the good stuff!

My mom can't remember LABOR. No, really.
-
Yup, both my mom and MIL are like that. Everything was soooo easy and soooooo good. I think they just like to make me feel incompetent!
-
HAHA my mom says labor almost killed her. She went au naturel all 3 times and gave birth on the floor!
She's 5 feet tall and I was almost 10 pounds! Poor mom!
She says I was a good natured baby though. Ate well, slept well. -
NOPE. My Mom and Dad LOVE to tell us stories about our tantrums and how we wouldn't sleep unless we were being held. Mom definitely remembers it all.
@chopsuey119: Yup. That would almost kill me, too!!

My mom and I have, ahem, disagreements about certain childhood events. Sometimes she says things (like, "Well, you slept 12 hours straight at that age") and I have to remind her that she's a big, fat liar, lol. My dad remembers the nitty gritty details a lot better.

My mom is exactly like that. Childbirth was quick and easy for her. My sister potty trained herself. Breastfeeding is easy peasy. Etc. etc. etc.

I swear my mom must have a selective memory about pregnancy. She said she had NO symptoms other than a missed period until the last month, and then she just had heartburn. I, of course, feel worn ragged, had 7 weeks of pretty horrible morning sickness, randomly break down in tears (My Little Pony made me bawl - it's crazy), had some nasty boob pain (up close to two cup sizes - I can NOT wear button up shirts!), have cravings and aversions (I hate not being able to drink tap water), can smell everything, have an insane digestive system, am now sensitive to the metal in my wedding ring, am starting to get lower back aches... And she tells me all she had with two pregnancies was a little heartburn? Surely, she misremembers....

My mom has a selective memory about almost everything. She was talking about cloth diapers and how she used them with all of her kids. Only I'm old enough to remember that I learned how to change disposables at age 9 on my younger brothers. We use pampers!
