Although, I have continued to read this thread, I have not commented in quite some time.

Jersey, you should be very, very proud of how your daughter really "stepped up" and is handling this whole situation. I really believe that she will be a success and your grandchild will be raised in a loving, positive environment. It demonstrates that you raised your child well that she is able to be doing so well right now.

Is that his blow-off answer? Or is that how he admits that he knows she's right, but he won't likely heed her advice because he has no control over his parents?

He's a know it all.

Um, when she was pregnant and her feet were swollen and hurting. "I know".
When you talk to him about quantum physics, "I know".

It's a stock answer. I would call it part blow off and part you're right.

Thank you so much. So often we wonder as parents if we have done a good enough job. I have felt that if I did we wouldn't be in this situation but I'd say she is handling it well and we are not enabling either.

She had her responsibilities that she has to keep. There is no deviation from them. She still needs guidance and nudging and sometimes it's just nerve wracking but then it clicks and we see she can handle it.

We just survived the first cold and fever.

Poor little sweetie.

She was running a fever. Nothing horrible for a baby but high nonetheless. Almost 102. It was the day before she was to visit with her father and he was taking her to a relative's home 1 1/2 hours away, my daughter took her to the doctor. My daughter told fob that baby wasn't feeling well and really shouldn't be around others and so far away.

His answer was "well I'll just keep you posted". The fever spiked up again in the evening and my daughter told him she wasn't going and he could have the following day instead as long as the fever stayed down. He agreed to this, thankfully because it just wasn't happening.

It brought back memories of my girls being sick when they were small. How I just hate to see a little one sick.

I'm glad it worked out. Finally...the fob was actually reasonable.

Me too.

I have to be honest. Even if he didn't agree after the fever spiked, she wasn't letting the baby go to be out all day.

I'm just glad they worked it out rationally and there was no conflict around it.

The earlier that your daughter realizes that she doesnt have to dance to his tune, the better things will be for her and the baby. She is complying with the visitation order as much as possible, but she is still the mother, and if the baby is too sick to go, she is right to put her foot down. Btw, even though fever is gone, she is still contagious, and is going to bring them all a little present to share.

How is the colic?

Now that she's more active, it's getting so much better. She is tiring her little self out now. It's duration is less.

She does need to talk to the doctor about reflux though.
