Anyone else's MIL jealous of your mom?

Yes! It's so frustrating!
I had that but backswords my mom was jealous of my mother in law
She's clearly very insecure. Also, since when do babies 'prefer dad's side' đ
Exactly this situation however my MIL doesnât make the effort to come and visit my child
That would piss me right off!
My MIL tried to tell me not to see my mom anymore too đ she also tried to make her family think my mom was a monster, until I reminded her that she had 1 kid taken away and kicked another kid out at 12 just to pamper her youngest. Shut her up real quick. My favourite line to use with MILs is âwell good thing thats my kid not yoursâ đ
Lmao oh I know it all too well. Mine says itâs natural for babies to prefer momâs mom, but for me growing up I preferred my dadâs mom because she was more active with me đ if that says anything.
Yes and it's so annoying because she's barley involved with my child so of course that's what it feels like .đ it got to the point where I stopped inviting her to our family functions because sheâs such a jealous person
Thatâs ridiculous. Babies prefer who they feel the most comfortable with, not one side or the other. She should just be glad her grandchild has all the love from everyone around her.
Any time I mention my mom babysitting, my MIL will literally go wahh what about me?? And I have to say âyouâre retired and see him every week for hours, my mom can watch him once and awhile too.â Itâs very annoying! I took a trip to the mountains with my mom and baby and she was super jealous about that too, but Iâm friends with my mom so I like going on trips with her, I wouldnât do that with my mil
Tell her to do one as nively as possible and go give this advise to her daughters kids and see how they feel
My dad had started to describe the situation as âgrandma warsâ because of how my MIL acts. She HAS to be the favourite and the best. If she had her way my parents wouldnât see my girls. If my eldest daughter starts to go over to my mum my MIL will call her name to get her to go over to her or start playing with a toy to get her attention so she will go to her instead. She will take the baby from other peopleâs hands if theyâre not careful and make snide comments if she canât hold her. She didnât like it cos my mum got the pram for our firstborn , she got the high chair for our 2nd back in November even though she wouldnât be 6m til end of January blatantly so no-one else would - think she was miffed I got the double myself and her sister paid for the cot when the eldest outgrew her mini cot. Sheâll come to stay every 2 or 3 weekends, prioritise spending time with the eldest and then whinge when she leaves about not getting to spend time with the baby when itâs her choice not to!
That would annoy me so much x
