You have six paragraphs of complaints about this family (all of which I can't see a problem with) and you chose this as your title.Sounds like you are one of the many people whom I came across tellin me I should stop breastfeeding my son.
I have to admit that this was my thought as well - not quite sure why this was the title of the post?
I have a nearly 3 yr old who is babied by mum and dad and I gently show mum on collection just how capable he is because developmentally her actions are holding him back. Now that she has embraced that he is coming on leaps and bounds, but my communication started from a basis of respect for her as a parent and their relationship.
There do seem to be lots of issues going on and perhaps a few single issues are making you over analyse other issues and blowing them up where as before you may have not worried. Work out whats important to you and then try and tackle one thing at a time. Try to keep personal feelings out of the equation and be objective.
As an advocate of breastfeeding - I will simply say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a breastfeeding relationship lasting until 3yrs and beyond - and whilst some people think its icky - professionally its best to keep that thought tucked away at the back of our minds.
