Get your parents to follow your rules
Most new parents often need the help of their own parents when it comes to minding their kids. This dependency could stem from a few reasons such as: limited finances to send you baby to a professional caregiver, the need for you to return to full time work, exhaustion from taking care of your baby single handedly, and illness. Whatever the reason, parents usually have a hard time getting their parents (the grandparents) to understand and follow their rules and child rearing formats.
