Don’t know what to do
We are living with my husband’s family cause his dad had strokes for his alcoholism and his mother promised that she was going to help me with the baby if we move with them to make her husband happy. Sadly is not working, she doesn’t have any boundaries with my privacy, she always says that this is her house and she is going to do whatever she wants. I cried all day cause my family lives in another country and I don’t feel any support. She makes drama every day cause I don’t want to go downstairs any more and my husband is not happy around me anymore. I don’t know if the best decision is to move or just stay to avoid all the drama with her side of the family ( aunts and grand grandma). I need to fix my marriage for my daughter and she is not helping me with my postpartum.

I lived with my baby daddy’s mom and our baby for a while and I’ll tell you it’s not fun, but my situation was slightly different, she loved to criticize how I took care of my baby like I haven’t helped raise 3 baby siblings of mine compared to her getting hers taken, it was very toxic, all 3 of us were yelling at each other while the baby was also upset, to the point where I left completely, moved back in with my mom, she wants us back there with her but I refuse, that was one of the worst times for us
Move out. You deserve peace and she is not giving you any.

Maybe have a sit down with her and say that you appreciate the help that she has been giving and direct her into helping in different areas. I was in a similar situation and I just sat down with her (after a big blow out) and said I appreciate you helping with xyz but I would appreciate so much more with abc as these are the areas I am struggling with. For example I have mine watch my LO whilst I run the bath, get pjs ect ready after dinner for bed
