Mother in law that's constantly calling everyday so annoying

Does anyone else have a mother in law who calls everyday lol? 🤣🤣
It's so annoying like everyday.

Always wanting to ask if we're okay about 100 times like she wants us not to be okay lol.
Constantly asking where I am if I haven't spoke to her in a week and makes me feel too much pressure to constantly be in contact with her.

She's single so maybe that's why she's like that
I like her but she's too much in our buisness and I've been avoiding her for a whole two weeks lol.

I don't speak to my own mum everyday so why would I speak to her.

It’s honestly probably just a difference in family communication patterns. Same with my MIL but she is so helpful I have learned that she means well. Maybe try telling her that the frequency of contact is too much

I send pictures of our baby every day and that makes her happy 😊

Send her photos. Videos of your baby. She wants to be involved she wants to hear that you guys are okay, she probably wants to see her Gchild. Send her pics every day and maybe a video and maybe she’ll stop asking. Update her on something new that’s happened, a milestone, something cute. To have people that wants to know how our babies are doing, we’re blessed. Coz some mums have no one that cares

Yes I understand however, my mil is too sensitive lol she won't take that well whether I say it in a good or bad way. I am currently pregnant with my second and it's a girl as my first is a boy. She kept constantly calling telling me to put her name or her mums names as the middle names lol. I was like okay but I have a mum too and I want to put my mums name as the middle name periodt! She wasn't happy about that

yes I did that with my first baby. I'll try again and see how that goes. I just feel like I don't have to always talk to her as she gets toi much in our buisness I like privacy and quiet time within my own family. My mum is the opposite she doesn't do that atall maybe I'm used to that rather than someone always in my face I suppose.

Is this normal parent child bonding to you?

Overheard my husband and his brother discussing their next trip to forbidden planet… and he tells him he plans on bringing our 1 year old along. Now I don’t know a whole lot about it but from what he’s explained before it’s a fiction/ fantasy comic/ book/ toy store. He’s always said it’s packed and he is in there for ages. Not sure why they’d think that’s a fun thing for a 1 year old to be dragged to, as well as the fact that our child has never been exposed to any cartoons, screens, fiction books etc and won’t be any time soon. She would have no clue what she’s doing there and will get bored quick.
I’ve spoken to him before about pushing his interests onto our children, understandable when it’s sharing a toy or short book or pictures that seems normal, however I’ve had to address him in the past regarding purchasing silly items to only take a quick picture or video of child with it and share it with his family making out that our child is interested in or even sometimes obsessed with them just because she’s holding them and looking at it (what kid wouldn’t 🙄). He’s been doing this kinda thing since she was a baby, she’ll crawl and he’d record her crawling to one of his toys and plaster it on his family group about how much she likes the toy now… as if she had a choice in the matter when it’s purposely put in front of her while all other toys removed, y know? I know he thinks I’m being extra but I’m an educator, I value teaching children and babies to explore appropriately, fostering their interests and following their lead. I feel my husband just wants her to be dragged into such places or ideas so he can be performative, and from my observation he only bonds with his siblings over avengers, Pokémon etc etc because they were glued to the TV and YouTube as kids and still are. I feel strongly about exposing her to these things at such an early age but I don’t think he understands. I totally get wanting to share your interests with your child but I mean just because I love makeup, I’m not about to show my child tutorials and get her a kit. I want him to notice what she loves doing, and work with that. Not just what brings him pleasure. His style does not feel natural or appropriate to me.

Is this insanely overpriced? I posted on my local support group for parents of kids with disabilities asking about summer camps....

I got a message about a daycare that will be holding 3 different summer programs that run for 3 days in the last week of July for 450 dollars per child. 450 dollars for 3 days of "camp" seems like a rip off to me especially being for kids with disabilities???

Would this make you worried gym daycare.

I was showing my 3 year old how to use the toilet at the daycare at my gym. We go in and I notice there’s also a door inside the single restroom on the other side. I figured it was a utility closet. As I’m walking around the gym I realize the daycares restroom is double acess. It’s also the toilet for employees that work the front desk on the other side.
Like wtf? How would they know if a small child walked out the the other door. And how do they prevent random weirdos from coming in the restroom when a small kid is in there because you know half those kids don’t use the locks. Absolutely insane design. So now I make both my kids go when I get there and showed them how to use the locks every time.
