I was at my mil sat to drop 2-1/2 yr old dd off for babysitting. We were running late so for the first time I bathed dd there. I towelled her off and redressed her in her street clothes as it was afternoon and I was hoping she'd take a nap.
Well, mil wanted me to blowdry dd hair. I said I never did. I did suggest it once but she freaks at hand dryers and the blow dryer was no exception.
Anyway, I'm cooking dinner tonight and mil calls to check on dd. I say I think she has another cold. MIL says "do you think it might have something to do with letting her have wet hair?" I said NO. This woman claims to be medically "savvy" and is always quoting medical terms and such. oh yeah she told me she tried to wrap her up and hold her to keep her from getting a chill. puleez
Really, I feel like every time I go over there she is just picking my brain collecting stuff to criticize me over. She is always "gentle" about it but it just gets to me.
btw. We are in Georgia. I suppose the temp was 60 at worst.
Oh and when I picked her up she went on and on about how i should wrap her up in a blanket on the way to the car. (20 feet)
so anyway....I'm editing to add sorry I am whining but Should I be drying her hair? She doesn't go to bed with it sopping wet or anything. I never blow dry my hair and I seem to be surviving.
Shoot, I'm old enough to remember when blow dryers were invented. When I was a kid I'd go to bed with wet hair on purpose to keep cool.
oh why can't I just let stuff like this roll off my back???
