My brother and his wife came to town for the Christmas holidays and are staying with my parents who live in the same town as I do. She has three children (who are with their dad for Christmas) and a child together who just turned two. Since this little girl was born, she has screamed at the mere chance someone would hold her besides her mother. This weekend has been no different. On Saturday, my brother and his wife went out for a few hours and left her at Grandma's. No big deal because there were plenty of cousins for her to play with. She was great. She interacted, played, and DIDN'T CRY! As soon as her mother got back, she clung to her mother. No one was allowed to touch her, or smile at her without her crying or throwing a fit. She throws a fit if she can't sit on mommy's lap during dinner, she throws a fit if mommy won't hold her right now. I guess in order to keep her quiet, my sister-in-law holds her non-stop. It almost seems like she is condoning it. I love my brother and its great when he comes to visit, but I almost don't because of his constantly screaming child. Is this wrong?
