Someone needs to explain to me how it is that babies can be likened to animals in a petting zoo and be passed round like a parcel to all and sundry. Surely there has to exist some element of sense that whispers into the ears of these people that babies need quiet, they need sleep and they need peace to grow. How is interrupting their sleep patterns, feeding patterns and their mother's sanity healthy?
And the problem is further exacerbated when the mother feels helpless and is unable to protect her own offspring against such people.
The good thing is it's awakening in the mother that maternal protectiveness that she wasn't sure was there when the babies were first born.
But in this case, the bad outweighs the good by a fair amount.
Growl.

Hey! Your kids look lovely... :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I also hate it when pple screw up their sleeping schedule. I had one auntie who even insisted on carrying my girl when I was obviously trying to rock her to sleep, and I even told her I was doing that. She don't care one, just *take* away my half-drowsy babe away like that to play with her. Then my poor baby cried lor, and then she promptly returned her to me. Yay.
