Three weeks ago I have just become a granny for the first time. Unfortunately my poor daughter-in-law had a very difficult and long labour finishing in an emergency caesar. They live a long way away and we have flown over to visit them just after our grandson was born. He is a lovely little boy - Both my son and daughter in law are in their late thirties and it has been very difficult for them both particularly my daughter in law who is still recovering. She has confided in us that although our son was very positive to start with he is not coping well with lack of sleep and his son's crying. He has been making some very unpleasant comments about her and the baby. i am in a difficult position - if this is true I am angry at my son's selfish behaviour. I have already spoken to him about the importance of supporting her while she recovers and I believe he has been reasonably helpful with cooking etc. My husband says I should keep out of it and let them sort it out for themselves. Andy advice?
