The people that change after having a baby

Family, aka the Grandparents

When you were pregnant, it was your big belly that was garnering all the attention. But now that baby is here, you're no longer the center of attention! The moment they push that front door open, they're all over your baby, showering her with kisses, presents and of course, giving you (unwanted) advice. Grandparents seem to revel in giving you tips, as well as little nuggets of (often outdated) wisdom. 'Clearly he's crying because he's hungry, so you should feed him!', says Grandma. 'Why, how come I didn't think of that before?!'. They love to compare your little one to you at the same age and remind you how well, or terribly, you're doing as a parent. Just bear in mind that their comments and advice come from a good place, and their intentions are pure, so why not take advantage and let them babysit for a couple hours while you catch up on some much needed rest?
