Are any of you as stubborn as I am? I don't like being told what to do. I often have a hard time listening to advice. I like to do things my way. However, this past week has been difficult. My back is still sore and baby has been crying a lot. I have been using the techniques from "The Happiest Baby on the Block" Lately, they don't seem to be working for me. Today, I was jiggling baby up and down and loudly shushing him in his ear. My wife said to me, "Do you want some advice?" I hesitantly said, "Yes." She said, "Be more gentle with him. Sush him quietly, and gently sway back and forth." I thought about her comments for a little bit. The stupid stubborn side of me wanted to ignore her comments, but my tired body told me to listen to her. I did. In a short amount of time he stopped crying and went to sleep. I felt wonderful. And I didn't regret listening to my wife. I wish I could just quit being so stubborn. Life would be so much easier. But I know that won't happen quickly. At this point in my life I think I first need to be gently shushed and swayed.
Do any of you have stories about being stubborn?
