I Showed MIL the Denver Developmental Checklist

She was like, "Oh wow, this says rolling over is not a reliable milestone! And did you know it says that some babies skip crawling and are developmentally normal?....Oh gosh, it says that some babies don't walk until 14.5 months!"

Bah, WTF do you think I've been telling you for the past few months?? Obviously I wasn't freaking lying!

At least now it seems like she believes me and might stop driving me crazy with her comments!

Re: I Showed MIL the Denver Developmental Checklist

  • When you gave it to her, did you say out loud "Suck it" as she took it from your hand?  Because that's what I would have wanted to do.  Confused

    All the way up until 18 months is considered in the normal range for walking.

    Lord help you if Lily isn't speaking in full sentences when she's 2.  Confused

  • Ditto Erika!

    That's awesome that you were able to show her in black & white that Lily's progression is completely fine, and I hope for her sake (and your sanity!) that she finally cools off on the whole comaprison nonsense!

    Perfect!
  • That's funny. I hope that keeps her quiet for a while.  Keep a few around the house just in case she brings it up again.

  • OMG she is SO annoying!!!!!!  I'm glad it finally got into her head that what you were saying is true.  Geez.

    Did I ever tell you that I never crawled (just scooted on my bum) and didn't walk until I was 16 months???  It happens more than your MIL may think!

  • Oh, and even though I was on the far end of the spectrum with my gross motor milestones, my older brother hit them SUPER early.  Your MIL loves to say it's parenting that's helping V reach the milestones, but it's just different babies.  My brother and I obviously had the same parents but we were on completely different ends of the spectrum, and it's all normal.  And I agree - a big, huge "suck it" to MIT's MIL!!

  • I think Erika said it best.  It's so frustrating when anyone (especially MIL) think they know everything.  That was smart to give her a list with UPDATED (and not archaic) info.  Nice job!
