DEAR ABBY: I’ve a 16-month-old who has just lately discovered to stroll.

My mother had been watching him sooner or later every week whereas I labored part-time, however she finally determined it was an excessive amount of stress on her again and mentioned she may now not elevate him. Currently, she has been telling me I must “train” him to do sure issues to ensure that her to look at him with out lifting him (e.g., climb into his personal automobile seat).

Abby, he’s too younger to persistently do something like that.

It’s now not attainable for her to place him in his automobile seat, elevate him to place him in his crib, excessive chair, and so forth. She’s being very pushy about me discovering alternative routes to do issues that finally will make extra work for me. I feel it might be safer and simpler to pay an able-bodied caregiver.

Speaking to her about this has develop into anxious as a result of she calls me “crazy” for considering this can be a security concern.

If we’re on the park and he does one thing unsafe, I decide him up and take away him as a result of he isn’t but a dependable listener.

How do I focus on this together with her in a form however agency method, and is my concern legitimate?

— LIFTING HIM UP IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR LIFTING: You aren’t loopy! After all your considerations are legitimate.

Your son is years away from having the ability to do what your mom is suggesting. Finish these discussions.

She must be advised kindly, however firmly, that she loves her grandson, however he wants extra hands-on care than she is ready to give him, which is why you’re hiring somebody to do it.

DEAR ABBY: I’m one among your male readers. My finest pal, “Will,” and his household have been shut buddies of mine for 9 years. I regard them as prolonged household, and we do virtually every part collectively.

Two years in the past, they purchased a home and transformed the storage right into a room for Will’s brother-in-law. A yr in the past, the brother-in-law met a lady I’ll name “Anika,” who stays with them a number of days every week.

She has made her place within the household, doing every part with Will’s spouse and their child. Will and his spouse have now began together with her on journeys and issues they might have usually invited me to do with them — however with out me.

I just lately found that Anika was disgusted to listen to that I used to be occurring a latest journey with them, however she gave in to Will to let me go.

I really feel like I’m being pushed out of the household I do know and love by this new girlfriend. How do I deal with this?

— PUSHED ASIDE IN THE EAST

DEAR PUSHED: Inform Will that over the 9 years you could have been shut buddies with him and his household, you could have grown to treat them as your prolonged household. Then inform him it has come to your consideration that Anika didn’t need you included on that final outing and ask if he is aware of why. Had you offended her not directly?

She could also be jealous of the connection you could have had for thus lengthy with Will and his brother-in-law and be unwilling to share her boyfriend — or his household.
