Ready to leave

We are visiting family and my son keeps only wanting me no matter if I’m in a different room are not. I’m trying to let them have their time with him but he only stays with them for so long. Maybe like 15 minutes at most. It makes me irritated when they keep saying he’s spoiled or too much of a mama boy. He acts the same way with my mom unless he is waiting on her. Another thing that very irritating they always assume he’s hungry even if he just ate. Some of them keep calling him mean to.

Just remind them that he is a teething baby and his primary bway to investigate stuff is by putting it in his mouth. He's not hungry, he's just exploring or relieving pain by chewing. As for wanting you, also very normal for his age, especially if they are unfamiliar to him. Like a dog, or any other animal, he wants to be near the one that feeds him, where he feels safe and secure. At this age, he should totally be a Mama's boy and be "spoiled ". Whenever they say that stuff, come back with an honest dose of reality.

@Katherine they know he is teething but in my opinion I don’t think a baby can be spoiled babies just need love and comfort and attention ik it’s normal but Im just tryna show its very clear I’m not trynna stop their time tg they even say he’s still spoiled bc I keep him close and still give him attention when I’m doing my class sfuff

I don't believe you can spoil a baby either, what's why I put it in quotes. But if you come at them with 'your wrong you can't spoil a baby', then they feel attacked. Remember previous generations were of the "babies should be seen and not heard", put them down and get things done, cry it out method. So by saying some stuff wrong, they feel attacked that you think they didn't wrong or you know better than they do (respect your elders generation also).

@Katherine every thing I say I make sure to be respectful but I do think with being a first time mom I just don’t know anything at all to them

Your baby is at the separation anxiety stage, which is what it sounds like, or he's over stimulated. He's comfortable with you. You are who he feels safe with. He loves you, he's a baby, and babies act like that. It's not about being spoiled because you can't spoil a baby by holding them and taking care of them. My daughter loves attention, but she will be fussy when she doesn't want certain people, including me. She will also fuss when people over stimulate her. She knows what she wants when she wants it. Her fussy is a way for her to communicate. You're a good mom. Keep on loving your baby!
