This query is : Resolved
my wife pinched our 1 year old child because she is always moving here and there, never sit at a place or sleep. Because of this I got angry with her and spoke harshly with her. She then went to her mother's house with our 1 year old child. Two days later, as she preferred to continue her stay for a few more days, I went to her mother's house to give some food items for the baby. The child has become very thin and her eyes were puffed, and I could immediately understand she has cried for a very long time and not properly fed. My wife's mother is a very cruel lady and she should be the main reason for this. I cannot give any evidence because I cannot see what happens in my wife's mother's house. If this continues, what steps can I take to ensure the safety for our child? Please give advice.

convince your wife to come back . hire a maid to help your wife to look after the child . because of young baby who keeps on crying incessantly your wife must be over stressed . she needs your ehlp and support at this juncture not words of rebuke

If your MIL is cruel why do you let your wife live with her along with the baby. At least for the sake of the baby convice your wife to come back.

the baby cries only if it is hungry and not fed or it is taken by an unfamiliar person, otherwise it won't cry. My wife prefers to listen to her mother more than any one else, so she is unlikely to come atleast for two days even if I call her.

your mother cannot handle the baby alone . she needs her mother help to take care of child . you must have been staying in a nuclear family and your wife did not have any one else to help her . be a supportive husband at this juncture
