WHAT makes you think I did NOT notice my stepson wandering around with the baby? I have told him REPEATEDLY to NOT pick the baby up himself and NOT walk around with the baby.
My infant was NOT left unsupervised. He was sleeping in his bassinet on the main floor or on a play blanket while I prepared lunches, or dinner, or flipped over a load of laundry LESS than 15 feet away.
My problem is not only that the 10 year old is 1) picking the baby up without asking, 2) walking around with the baby, 3) NOT listening to his stepmother (me) when I TELL him to NOT pick the baby up and NOT walk around with the baby but most importantly 4) his FATHER thinks it is ok and will not support me in my requests that the 10 year old stop picking MY baby up and walking around the house with him.
I don't know why I am defending myself to you or where you got the idea my baby was in any way unsupervised.

wow...it was an pretty obvious question actually given the fact that you complaint was the 10 yo was walking around with the infant. I would also question how that could happen without being notice, no need to jump down her throat...maybe the child isn't listening to you and your husband isn't supporting you because of the way you handle the situation. If you treat him like you just treated Xero it's no wonder he doesn't respect what you say...just my two cents though, good luck to you
