An Australian mom’s “judgmental” mother-in-law blamed her for her toddler not being able to walk at 1 years old.
At an early scan for their first and only pregnancy, *Serena and husband, *Tim, received a shock they never, ever expected. “When we Googled it, we were hysterical because it meant he could be severely developmentally delayed and disabled.” However, in the first few months of their son, *William’s life, scans thankfully showed his condition was not what doctors had expected.
An Australian mom’s “judgmental” mother-in-law blamed her for her 1-year-old son not being able to walk.“As a first-time mom, knowing that he’s got that diagnosis and when he doesn’t reach a milestone, I think, ‘Oh my goodness, is there something wrong with him?’ And I’m quite sensitive about him ever becoming delayed, which I’m being reassured by doctors won’t happen.”
“Every time we went anywhere where Laura was walking, Helen would say to William, ‘You should be walking. Laura is walking, why aren’t you walking?’” At a dinner one evening, Helen’s persistent criticism of William’s development escalated to the point where Serena could take no more. “My nephew is speech-delayed and she’s awful about it. She would also comment that William wasn’t eating enough when I did baby-led weaning, and that I should have just fed him. He was in the 90th percentile, too. Then she insisted we pat him to sleep even when he was fine self-settling for a very short amount of time.”
