Munchausen by proxy is when you make something you love (child/pet) very ill on purpose for other people's sympathy. For example, feeding your child a poison that makes him lose all his hair and feel ill all the time and tell people he has cancer, for their sympathy and gifts. Hopefully she's not hurting the poor innocent baby...
