    Hi,

    ofcourse you should react to them. Tell your relatives that you do not appreciate your kid being treated like that. As a mother ou have all right to protect your child.

    As for criticism, if you don't like people criticizing you then you need to speak up. Being a saint takes you no where. If you don't like something then speak up.

    When people do that to me I do react. Politely but firmly I tell them their limits and its gonna be same if anyone speaks against my kid.

    Its your life and you get to decide how you will live and how people will react towards you and make sure they better pay you due respect.

    All the best.

    Have a great day ahead.

    regards

    Whenever I get it for my kids I do the following:

    Inform DH that I dint like commnet X, Y for the child and that he should inform the concerned person.
    A. At times he tells me let it go.. big deal.
    B. At times he informs the offending party to avoid those words.

    C. If I know that these comments are just to tease me, I join with them to add a few for my own child... and trust me they never repeat it.
    D. For instances I dont buy logic A and he's not in a mood for B and am too agitated for C, I go ahead and tell them in a polite manner that I shall appreciate if the child is spared of such comments.

    hi
    you defenitely have to speak for your child. if you keep silence people may take advantage and if the child starts understanding what others are saying and your silence over that would send a wrong message to the child that you also approve of what others say.nothing worng in speaking back to such people who unmindfully talk ill of a 2 year old.

    if someone critize u, its upto u how to take it. when soembody speaks bad about me, i get angry and irritated:crazy. but this started disturbing my job:drowning. so now a days i have changed my mind. you know what i do, i keep telling myself that i am a celebrity and they are media person. :cool2:. their job is to talk people.

    but dont tolarate if they critize your child. dont wait for ur DH to help u. do it yourself. we are not saadhus to tolarate all nonsense. that too wn it comes to lil one dont allow a bit.

    Never ever let anyone tease the little one..I personally feel that any parent who does that is impotent of defending for the baby.The kids totally depend on us and they trust us that we will take good care of them.Taking care of them also include protecting their self image.So,go girl!!! talk back if someone tease the cute little one...be bod and strong...we cannot achieve anything by acting like a saint...gone are those days..:idea
