Fan Question- Ok, here it is: Hello, I´m a 27 yro single mom of a 2 y/o (and we´re in Germany so please no bashing if my english is bad okay ;-p) I need advice on how to handle a Situation with my aunt. She´s a huge help for me, from time to time she babysitts and once a week she helps me grocery shopping, cause I got no car. So I´m kinda dependeant on her. Thing is, cause she is so involved with my son and me she thinks she got every right to criticise me as a mother, and this behavior just reached the Point where I truly can´t take it anymore. Recent example: How I bed my son. She can´t stand the fact he doesn´t have a pillow and a blanket, "only" a sleeping bag. My son likes it that way, he trows the pillow and blanket out and want his bag. bag and his plush monkey and his binky. nothing wrong, he sleeps well, I never let him scream... kiss him goodnight, do everything, he´s happy, no Problem. But my aunt (who is 53 y/o, never had Kids) thinks she knows better. Told me I was cruel and unloving, rejecting my child, egocentric, and stubborn cause I refuse to discuss this Topic with her or my mother anymore. She called said she wanted to spend the day with ous, she misses him (cause I hadn´t buying grocery with s.o. else this week). Same time she doesn´r respect me and puts me down again for being stubborn (grrrrr). My uncle said in a few years my son would be psychological damaged, every Family member cries at night cause of my poor son not havin a blanket!!! I really think of no contact anymore for the sake of my nerves! Then again what really gets me, her saying "Yes, shut the People out your son loves, right!" I know this is manipulative and so so wrong but now I really feel horrible. How would you handle such a situation? Have you been in such a Situation, too? RPB- --Bri
