In-laws. 🙄

Oh mine makes me so annoyed! Not only does she do that, but likes to talk to him when I’m trying to get him to sleep, or tells me how I should wean him because she did it this way! Couldn’t give a shit how she did it, I want to do it the way I am

I just feel like saying you’ve had your child she’s only got 1 son my partner. She’s so intense it’s becoming weird.

Is your relationship shop with her good enough to tell her to rein it in abit? Or could your partner have a word? Nothing worse than trying to figure this all out with someone interfering

Mine is the same. Always questions everything I say about my LO. If I go she needs a nap ‘no she doesn’t’. And makes me feel like an over bearing mother. And I HATE when she grabs my daughter off me

@Livvy when people do that to me I just don’t let go and they take the hint before it gets too awkward lol

She shouldn’t be taking your daughter off you.

I'm not the only one feeling this then. I thought I'm weird 😕 and my friends cannot relate because they dont have kids. I'm in the same situation. My mother in law so nice and I like her as a person we do get a long but when it comes with my baby girl she's 6 months I just have this feeling she's annoying her instead of letting her do her own thing. Yesterday my baby sat on the mat on the floor and I was sat there supporting her and she's playing and watching then all of a sudden my MIL lay down on the matt and try to play with her? 😳My baby girl moaned and I can tell she wants to be left alone. Oh!! it drives me crazy and we live with my in laws as well. If its my mum I can tell her off etc. I feel so annoyed when she holds her and I don't know why 😭.like I'm feel tip toeing when she hold my baby that she might do something to my baby that will annoy me. 😒I make an excuses sometimes that we are going out and ill stay in the park for 2 hours with my baby just sat there so the time will passed by

YES this is the exactly the same for me!

I hope we can go through this ❤️ we live my in laws so when I go back to work full time we can move out and get our own place I'm dying here. I'm so moody all the time because I want my own space and don't want to see anyone . They are quite a big of family too.

I understand and I get the small thing and it's annoy you. Did you tell her not to do that? I mean it's difficult to tell them you dont like it. Its get political. Can you talk to your husband and explained to him to tell his mum that she shouldn't do that while your baby is feeding.

Mine annoys me too… she’s so nice & we get along but when it comes to the baby she does I don’t like. I’ve asked her not to kiss the baby & she does when I’m not looking (but I’ve caught it) she always ask him to smile for her? (He’s 3 months old)It took me awhile to warm up to her holding him but in the beginning it literally killed me to watch her hold him. It’s hard because it definitely caused a divide in my husband & our relationship because he didn’t understand that I didn’t want his mom over all the time or for help I only wanted my mom.

The same issue as well kissing the baby. She was kissing mine all the time. Thats drive me crazy so much and its covid time. You just don't know what's going on their mouth. Told my husband and she stopped thats why I'm like an Eagle watching her when she carry my baby and I follow her if she stands up. I never left my baby with her. But of course my husband isn't around all the time so if she do it infront me. I'm frozen if I tell her not to do that, she might get offended. I know they are the grandparents etc etc but 😭 it's so annoying thou 😂 . I feel bad for my husband because that's his mum but at the end of the day I don't think he'll understand how I feel even a small thing his mum does annoy me. We are definitely feeling the same ❤️I'm glad I'm not the only one I thought I'm going crazy. 😅

Girl I FEEL you. It’s always tough! Also I don’t want to freak you out but look up whitlow! Why I don’t let people kiss my baby. If you would go around kissing adults & kids don’t kiss my baby! 😅

Oh me too. Mine last night told my three year old that she could take bath in her kiddy pool. And than said my 8 month old should join her. I told her no it didn’t matter. And than I asked if she sent home a pair of Pjs she said she had them but I needed them back for Friday night because they are spending the night and if I took them she would have nothing. Ummm… I will bring them clothes. Have I ever had them spend the night and not have clothes for them. Oh she drives me nuts. Than tells my three year old that if she doesn’t eat she can’t play with grandpa.

Yes!! My mother in law questions everything i do with my little one. Recently we have moved from formula to actual milk. So my son is now drinking 2 bottles a day one at night and one at night and she went of saying that is not how she used to do it with my husband and that my son needs more milk. We continue to tell her no that we've done our research and that is enough milk especially because he eats enough during the day he usually eats 3 meals and sometimes snacks during the day... she is always telling us crap about what we do with our son so annoying

It seems we’re all in the same boat. It’s so hard I feel like if I say anything to her she gets in a mood and you can’t realm to her. We have famailt members from all over the country so I have asked that we call things by there real name. She keeps calling his head a ridiculous name even though I’ve asked her not too

Mine annoys me so much!! She always wants us to go off track from our routine “just this once” just so she can be more involved, she gets really annoyed when we have to leave gatherings at a certain time to get back for our daughter’s dinner and bed time! The latest one was when we were at theirs for lunch last weekend, I gave my daughter a bottle and she didn’t finish it cause she was too distracted, then she started reaching out for our food (we were having sweet treats at that point) and my MIL kept saying aww look she’s starving let me give her a little snack and tried giving her ice cream! To a 7 month old! I had to keep saying no if she’s hungry she can finish her bottle, I don’t give her snacks during the day she just has breakfast and dinner atm. Of course she kept trying to convince me my daughter was starving until my partner stepped in and said when I was younger would you have given me dessert if I refused my main? Dumb bitch😂

Yep. I’ve got a planned c section Thursday and she’s asked me twice in the space of x2 days “what time” I’m having the baby 🤦🏼‍♀️

Mine was changed so even though we gave a date and time it didn't go according to plan... Just remind everyone it's never that predictable and to please not add any of their stress to you!

Not my mother in law but my own mother does..

Yes!! She grabs whatever she has and keeps dangling things in her face! Doesn’t speak a word of any real words to help her develop language. It annoys me to no end. She tries to grab the baby from me when the baby wants to sit on my lap. She’s also over 75 so we are careful since she’s a strong baby and can wiggle out of your arms so we ask that she sits on the floor to play with her. She is very prideful and thinks she can handle anything because my husband was a big baby too (39 years ago!). My husband has to step in to correct her constantly.

Yes so much at times my son is 2 and she will lift him up when asleep to lie on her like a baby 😡 he’s not a baby. Comes every Sunday and moans I need out house but wants us to stay in for her all day on a Sunday wants to stay from 12pm and go home at 7pm. Keeps just walking into our bedroom for whatever reason. Then 2 weeks ago she brought down an old letter my hubby wrote for his ex he wrote the letter 20 years ago but he had it hidden in an old record so she must of been going through all his old stuff.

Mine frustrates me so much. She takes my baby off me and gives her to other people without asking. She always has dirty hands and touches my babies face without washing her hands (she lives on a farm with livestock). When we announced we were pregnant she said to my face she wasn’t happy for us and never even asked to see a scan photo or ask how I was getting on. Now the baby is born she is all over her and makes me feel like I’m not even her mum and it really frustrates me.

My baby was being held by an aunt, mil standing next to them. He was looking at me across the room, smiling at me. Mil was saying his name and trying to get his attention, he wouldnt look away from me. She got the toy she bought him, put it in his face so he couldn't see me, and made him play with it and pay attention to her😂

Honestly so annoying. That is something my mil would do

Mine does that too! Hates if my daughters attention is in me

I live with mine and while at the beginning it was nice, I hate it now. She “playfully” calls me a bad mother or a mean mother for the most annoying shit. My baby was born underweight, I was told to feed her every 2 hrs and to wake her, apparently this makes me the worst mom alive. I don’t put a winter hat on her when it’s 20 degrees outside, mean mom. She’s not always wearing socks in the house, negligent mom. Don’t warm all of her bottles, careless mom. She says this shit to me with a smile and acts like she’s joking but clearly she has to feel some truth in it. Mad I won’t let my baby “cry it out”, that I don’t bathe her every day, and that she usually wears a bib. (The one time she doesn’t I’m a “mean mommy”. Super contridicting and condescending) Also complains that I don’t baby her son when he’s tired lol. And doesn’t expect him to lift a finger or help me w anything since he works and hasn’t ever dealt with a baby before. Annoying to say the least. I’m losing my damn mind.
