How true! At least I didn't gloat openly over the glory. I recognized that it takes guts to admit one is wrong, and my mother-in-law did admit defeat. I know she just wanted to help because she felt that I was doing something wrong.
Yet she was exasperated by my constant refusal to give my baby a pacifier, because by not doing what *she* did as a mother implied criticism of her choices. Her exasperation and reluctance to acknowledge other ways of doing things aren't necessarily wrong got disappointing after a while, especially since I knew many valid reasons to avoid conditioning babies to use pacifiers instead of suckle their mom's breastmilk for nutrition and comfort.

Oh yes, dj, babies cry, but waking up often to tend to a baby isn't bad, really. At least I got used to it and I *wanted* to help. Plus when you care for a baby you get to experience sunny, happy baby moments, too. Babies aren't howling *constantly*!
For example, since this is the member picture gallery, here are two pictures of Half-Me. Biased as I may be, I still think Half-Me was pretty darn cute! I adored him...tears, smiles, poop and all:

Me and Half-Me:
