Ok we have an almost five month old beautiful baby boy who is so awsome. But we me ,boyfriend, & baby live with my mom. My boyfriend and I are fighting all the time because I'm stuck in the middle between him and my mom. It's so hard I try to be happy for my sons sake and I know we need to move out. My man is always spending his money not on our sone either. I am always supporting our son. I don't want us to break up but I don't know what to do anymore. I can't handle this fighting with mom and my boyfriend. I feel trapped in the middle and I love them both. Plus I have one more question. My baby will be fine all day and he cries at night and won't take anything or calm down what could that be? I don't think it's us because we don't fight in front of him and it's not everyday. Just this week it has been. ↓

| You're not alone. My husband and I have been married 16 years. We don't fight in front of our kids but if we're stressed, they're stressed. Kids are emotionally smart...they pick up on our feelings. Can't tell you what to do. Find some quiet time and breathe. Your gut will tell you what to do. All the best!!! ↑ |

| If your man was really into you and the baby and also tired of fighting with your mom,he would be saving every dollar so the 3 of you could get your own place a.s.a.p.! If he's always spending money,then clearly you and his son are NOT a priority to him. Maybe you should reconsider if this guy is really one you want to spend your life with. AS for the baby crying,is he too hot or cold,or is something sticking him,or maybe his tummy hurts or if he quiets when you pick him up, maybe he just wants to be held?My son had crying spells during the day and we would run his pacifier under water and dip it in the sugar bowl and pop it in his mouth and no matter how har he was crying,it would hush him almost instantly. ↑ |

| It is definetly time to get out of your mothers home, I know it was probably the best decision at the time but let your mother enjoy being a grandmother, She maybe getting burnt out and that is what is causing her to argue with your boyfriend, or maybe she can see that he isn't making much of an effort to help out his new family and it is starting to get to her. As far as the crying at night; that is starting to sound real familiar!! I just went through that about 4 months ago and it turned out that he was colic--if thats the case it should end rather soon. Check with your ped doctor and see if you need to change your formula (that tends to help a little bit) and take him for walks ( my son loved to be outside when he was crying) ↑ |

At five months colic should be over with. Is he teething? During the day they get distracted more easily, but at night the pain is more evident. Also, consider an ear infection. Is the crying worse when he is laid down?
It could also be release after a stressful day. The other post is right. Babies pick up very well on the mood of the parent, whether or not anything is said.
Maybe you should sit down with your mother and and boyfriend and suggest putting a budget together. Tell him how hard this is on you and the baby and things need to change. When you talk to him and your mother use phrases like "this makes me feel......." By using me instead of you, you, you it makes the other person less defensive and more likely to listen to you.
Good luck! ↑ |
