*long sigh* it happened, my husband is taking his mother's side over mine.

My husband's mother is an amazing lady, we in no way have a bad relationship as she has helped us when she could with our daughter. Recently though my husband has taken her side. So LO is 9 months and has been dealing with what seems to be a really really nasty cold, coughing, sneezing and most importantly; very bad congestion. My husband doesn't like using the snot sucker because I think he thinks it's gross, which is fine so most of the time I do it and my baby does not like it at all however it helps her breath and sleep. Well today I slept in for 3hrs and she had a bunch of like snot crusted on her upper lip and a lot in her nose, it looked uncomfortable. I told him that I know he doesn't like it but he'll have to use the snot sucker when I'm not around so she can breath and then he says the dreaded

H: "well my mom said that babies actually don't need snot suckers" I said

M: "yes she does, she isn't able to breath with all that snot and gross stuff in her sinuses"

H: "no my mom said she doesn't need it, she raised 2 babies by herself and never used one. You have what, 9 months experience?"

I didn't say it because we were out in public but I wanted to tell him "that's because your parents lived on a farm hours away from the nearest city, they couldn't have the luxuries that are available for urban parents" and I know that for a fact because his mother has told me that directly, it was too long of a drive to get stuff like that so they had to make do at home such as using cloth diapers instead of going out to buy disposable ones. I always have my daughters best interest in mind, idk why he can't bother thinking for himself and only listening to what kthrt people have to say. Idk sorry for th3 rant, just wanted to get it off my chest.
