This looks like the group for me

I don’t even know where to start with my in-laws but I figure at least people in here can relate. Here’s a list of a few of the fucked things they’ve done since my son arrived. -called him a bastard -refused a playpen we bought for their house cos apparently it’s offensive to them -get angry that bub doesn’t like them/cries when they take him but don’t make any effort to see him to build a relationship. His dad even bragged saying I bet he cries when I take him -bitch about me to my partner when I’m not there -say I’m overreacting not letting my son play with THE ONLY TOY at their house as it’s tiny wooden balls which he almost choked on -went to visit some random long lost Aunty ON HIS FIRST BDAY -told my partner we need a new house as our 3bed 2 bathroom house is apparently way to small with a baby (no offer of help, just judgment. -had a go about my baby wanting me and not My partner when upset -didn’t come to baby’s baptism cos they didn’t like the date we chose -ignored my family (FIL turned his back and ignored my dad for no reason, my dad was trying to say hi) This isn’t even the worst or the half of the stuff they’ve done. They’re just awful, controlling people who don’t like me because I make choices that are informed and are in the best interests of my son. They just want toControl my partner and obviously me being around has naturally meant he makes his own decisions or we make them as a family. For some reason they don’t like my family, likely because they have been SO MUCH support to me since having baby. My Mum spends 2 days a week with us, and so naturally she has become the one who looks after him when I have apps or need to work. They get angry at that, but they are both retired and have had every opportunity to be involved but choose not to as they’d rather hang out with their friends. Soz for the long post. I’m sure I’ll have plenty to add into the future cos these ppl are FUCKED haha!

I’m toxic so don’t listen to me but CUT THEM OFF! They obv don’t actually care about having a relationship with your child and they don’t respect you. It’s a no for me

@Jillian oh I totally agree. I have limited any interaction possible. My partner seems to be under some kind of spell and worships them, it’s our biggest issue in our relationship. He wanted to take our son to their house without me and I refused, I went with as I don’t want to be the reason he doesn’t see them, but partner said oh they haven’t seen him in x weeks and I was like well they know where we live. They don’t work and only live 15 mins drive. If they wanted to see him they know where we are

They only want to see the baby so they can take a few pics and brag about it to their friends. They also got angry at me for asking them not to share photos with ‘family’ who they’ve met once or twice who live overseas

the first thing i read my jaw dropped.. um. that’s very disturbing.

babe cut them off.. that’s so bad oh my gosh.

I would almost feel like my kid was in serious danger anytime he went around them.. i’m so sorry. that’s just insane

I’m so sorry you and your husband aren’t on the same page ☹️ it took a really long time for me to get my husband to see that his mom has narcissistic tendencies and is really hard to be around. I don’t know what finally made the lightbulb go off but it did. Try to have tenderness and grace, criticizing her to others in front of him and to him will only make him more defensive. That is honestly so sick that any adult would use a child like that. Maybe someone else in your husband’s life that doesn’t know his mom can’t get him to see the reality? Good luck girl.
