Dont you find that when you have a baby, you're forever critising other people in your head? I mean, for example, when someone else holds them, you're flinching inside and thinking...nooo, not like that! Even when someone is changing the smelliest (and i mean super poopiest nappy!) you're still watching how they put the nappy on, have they used enough cream? no, dont wet the vest! :) Of course to the outside world, you're a sane, happy mother, but inside you're screaming...noooo he/she doesn't like that!
Be honest, you know we do!
Aren't we all just crazy mummies!!!

My sister just had her baby,I must admit she critisized others more ofter than ever before since she is crazy about her kid.She is worry about everything that may hurt the little baby.
I think people may think she is kind of crazy now, however, I believe every mother will do the same.

A mother is the best companion of every baby. As they say, there's no one like mom. There is a special bond between mother and child; such an awesome relationship.

Oh yes, I was and still am the same, I thin its just an instinct tho at the end of the day you just want to protect them from anything

Yes having a baby does seem to make us like that! I used to turn into a right bear when mine were born, I hated anyone holding them. No one dared come in and just pick them up they just had to wait until I told them they could!

Yes il honestly admit I was like that when the girls were newborn as they have got older i am more relaxed about it.
The only person I have never felt like that about was their dad, he might not do things how I want them doing BUT he is their dad and as such deserves to have his own ways of doing things I mean he reguarly has them on his own while I have some me time.
Now they are older and can tell others "I do not like that" im more relaxed. The worst person was my mother in law due to physical disabilities the way she held my girls scared the very life out of me, however as she felt it was ok to critisise how I bring the girls up I felt i was more than in my right to tell her when she was doing something wrong too, others like you say I kept my mouth shut glued a smile on and told myself as long as they are happy and not crying the other adult cant be doing anything too awful (despite what my mummy brain might be telling me)
