Am I alone in thinking there is a very fine line between these two? I aspire to being a "Hands-on Granny" as I appreciated the help I often had from my mother-in-law when mine were young (although not when they were babies) and missed out on it from my own Mum was not really a "baby person"(!)
However it is hard isn't it to "keep Mum" at times and I vividly remember when my little grandson was crying and my daughter, who unfortunately at the time was subscribing to Gina Ford complained it was too early for his feed. I said "Oh why don't you just feed him" and got the reply "Mum, he's MY baby and I will decide when he gets fed"!!
So Grannies - are you hands on? Do you come up against "Hands off"??
Fruit flies - help needed please.
