Mil extra rude today

So my mil always thinks she knows better in every single subject and matter in this life. Usually I let go when she comments on the way she thinks I should feed, put to sleep, breastfeed my baby, and the list goes on. She always says what’s on her mind in a way to show me that I’m such a child who knows nothing and has no access to the internet or any information out there and all the knowledge is exclusively with her. I’m 32 btw. I always try to be the bigger person and show her that you can say whatever you want I’m going to still do what I see best for my child. BUTTTTT Today she pushed my buttons so much that I can’t even begin to understand how someone could be that rudeee. She knows that my husband and I have debts (loans we’re paying off) and that I can’t work because I need to be with my 9 month old baby at home and she takes my whole time. She also knows that my family is in a different continent so I have zero support. The support my mil gives us is only related to food. She cooks sometimes and send the food over. Anw, today she looked at me and asked me if I found an online job. NOT IF I’m LOOKING BUT IF I FOUND. I told her simply I don’t have time for that and she started mocking me saying that I’m not the only one who had a baby and all moms work. No sympathy no consideration no respect. I’m so over mils and their craziness I swear!!!

She's right but she's wrong about being right. You do work. Childcare is work. Unfortunately it's unpaid if you're the parent. It's the best job ever imo. Suggest you give your little one some extra cuddles to soothe your soul. You're right to have gotten angry. You just don't deserve to have to carry that anger longer than absolutely necessary.

The thing that bothered me is not the idea of work. I’m not a lazy person I worked so many years and put all my savings with my husband’s to but the house. The issue is that why talk in a demeaning way when you don’t have a clue about how my day goes. My child is very active and needs lots of attention, she doesn’t stay that much in the play fence before she starts crying to get out, and when she does she’s crawling and standing on all surfaces. In addition I pour my heart out in everything related to her, I could take the easy way out and give her ready meals from the store but I’m always doing searches on what’s best for her and cooking her 3 meals a day. So for me yeah this is my full time job I’m not gna let someone else raise my daughter no one will care for her as much as I do. Plus sheee raised her grandkids so her daughter could work.
