I only scratched the surface of my previous question, there are more instances of poor parenting skills being exhibited by my wife. Firstly, I"m 49 years old, my wife is 17 ( and a 2nd cousin..LONG story ), anyways not only does my wife get up in the middle of the night when the little thing cries, she talks to it like it's a person. Like...oooh, who loves the little girl, who is the cutest..that sort of thing. Now when the baby hears that, don't you think it's going to get a swelled head ? I think of the future, when it's in high school, like she'll remember my wife saying, ooooh you're so cute and stuff and she'll have no friends cause they'll think she's concieted. My wife is heavy and if my baby has those genes she'll prolly end up fat like her mom, so I think we better prepare her for a life of misery, not give her false hope of being cute and stuff. I think we should snip it in the bud now, tell her she's got the " fat genes " and if we can stop the over feeding now, w're thebest

I think you're an idiot, and you're wife is even a bigger one for marrying you and having a baby by you. but your wife is doing nothing wrong, by the time your child is in High school, you'll probably be in a mental home anyways, so don't worry about it.

These aren't poor parenting skills. Babies quite often don't sleep through the night until they're older than 4.5 months. Your wife checking on your child is not unusual. Granted, she shouldn't 'hop out of bed' the moment she hears a cry; sometimes the cry may end after a few seconds and your daughter will go back to sleep. But how the hell do you expect to explain to your 4.5 month old baby that she has to think of other people? She's 4.5 months old! I hate to see what sort of expectations you are going to have for your daughter when she is in her teens. I would suggest you start thinking in an age-appropriate manner about your daughter. You cannot spoil a baby either, no matter how hard you try. I would say you're the one with the poor parenting skills, and selfish to boot about being 'woken up in the middle of the night'.

Are you for real? Is this question a joke? If it's genuine, I'm worried. First of all, your wife is a child herself so don't expect her to be supermum, and secondly would you rather she sat there telling your "child" (notice you don't say son or daughter, nice...) that he/she was ugly and useless? When the child is a baby it doesn't matter what you say to it as long as it's said in a happy, positive and loving way. Sounds like she's a much better parent than you.
And if you've made the whole question up "for a laugh"? Then get a life.

Whoa.. I don't even have to read your previous post to tell that you need some serious help. Your wife seems more on top of things and a whole lot wiser than you.
To prepare your daughter for a life of misery just because she may be fat is rediculous and abusive. If you do so then you are dooming the poor girl to a life of misery. Just because she may have fat genes doesn't mean she will be fat....for one. And just because she is fat does't mean she will be misereable.

Maybe you could try giving your daughter a humilliating nick-name like "Porky" or "blubber" something that will bring her down a notch if she starts getting all high and mighty! You just need to nip it in the bud! MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS SHE'S NOTHING SPECIAL!!! (That may work for your wife too.)
Let me know if you need any more advise. I'm always glad to help.

just from what I have read... You have the issue not her.. You have no need to be cruel or hurtful. OUCH so glad you are not my dad... YOUR thinking will make your child feel worthless and be more susceptible to abusive relationships or be an abuser.. you are making her feel less human and that is not right..

Wow, I wonder how long it took you to come up with that story. In the interest of answering the question though, I'd say you were the one with the bad parenting skills.

The rest of us are awake... looks like you are having a nightmare or something... just go back to sleep.

Okay - you need to stop referring to the child as 'it.' Please use baby, child, he or she. "It" is an inaminate object not a human being. Secondly as I read further along - this is just a bunch of garbage from a snit. No more of my time - thanks for the 2 points.

you're absolutely right, maybe if you beat your wife in front of the baby it will see her actions are wrong
