Dreaded MIL

Could you just highlight what a 'strange thing to say' it is? Just casually maybe? And see what her explanation is? Something like 'you say that a lot don't you? Is there something concerning you??' it might shed some light or it might just let her know her shady comments are being noted. It is super odd but then these MILS do not suprise me anymore!

@Eppie thankyou next time I'll make that comment. I've never known how to go about it. I honestly can't do with her & she doesn't help herself. Yesterday when she said it my baby screamed at her so she shut up😂 but it does need to stop she will say "that mummy been hurting you" alot too. which when my child can talk could end badly if she goes repeating words 😳

I would definitely say something set those boundaries

My mum does this drives me nuts and I've noticed my granny does it. My mum either gets laughed at or glared at by me depending on my mood that day but it just seems to be something older generations say for some reason and they're just copying what they know. Cause it's my mum I do tell her when I'm not in the mood for her nonsense but I would say depends on what your relationship with MIL is like. If it's ok I wouldnt bother with something like this as shes probably just talking without thinking and it's not a hill to die on if shes always being a dick then do bring it up.
Or try and say "tell granny what we did today" or "tell Granny about all the colours" just something random and maybe she'll get the hint

I'd probably respond for the baby saying "mommy and daddy are doing a wonderful job, why don't you tell grandma how our day was or we did instead"

@Rach I've spoken to my partner about it numerous times he just says she doesn't mean it like that & i take her the wrong way. It is everytime we see her though without fail it's wierd. I don't get why anyone would say that to a baby ..

thankyou I will do x

@Sarah it's so strange, isn't it 😕 why would they even say that to a baby. I find it rude and hurtful especially when it's everytime she sees her and gets hold of her. I try my best to keep her at arms length but it's making me resent her so bad. All fun and games to them until baby starts repeating words

@Marisa I guess I need to put my foot down with her as it really bugs me! I find myself snapping at my partner about it a lot but apparently I'm taking her the wrong way.

My MIL always makes the comment of ‘is that mummy starving you.’ Every single time my lo gets ready for a bottle and sometimes gets grizzly. And ‘oh those horrid mummy and daddy making you starve.’
It makes me so angry I have said to my partner about it as he seems to be oblivious to it and now he will say to her ‘no not at all’ but she thinks he is jokin!!
