When we first got here, Myles had a hard time with the transition. He was constantly screaming. It lasted two days and it was not fun for anyone. And then he cut three molars. So the screaming was followed by a lot of crying.
A few days into our stay Myles and I went outside to play. A neighbor came up to us to introduce herself. I was excited to practice some Spanish. She asked me our names, followed by, "El esta enfermo?" -Is he sick? I told her no, he was teething. She shook her head and walked back into her house.
A week later she came back out when Morgan and I were outside with Myles and handed us this:
Please discuss.

The food looks yummy - especially the plantains. Myles looks great and cute like his Mommy.
You can't hide from the "Word" ha ha.
Oh dear, that is funny -- and rude? I can't tell. Haha.
Hmmm is right. I'm not sure how anyone can make parental judgements based on a few nights/days of crying due to international travel and teething. Seriously. Did her kids never cry? Does she think Myles needs more love or a harder discipline hand. Whatever the case she sounds a bit nosy. Maybe she has a good heart and is trying to help in her own way? Why don't you let her babysit for a night or two and see if the flyer is helpful for her?
I wouldn't let it bother you too much. You have to remember that you are in a different country and they have different customs than we do. So where we want to hold, love, and cuddle our little ones when they are hurt or uncomfortable, they may believe that you need to be firm and teach them to work things out on their own. Every coutry has their own parenting styles. It doesn't make it wrong, just different. Stay true to what you think is right. Myles will love you no matter what and that is all that counts.
