Evil MIL 😞

I just need to vent because it’s upsetting me so much.
I have a 3 year old daughter who is SO obsessed with her grandad, they are two best friends and it’s literally so lovely to see.
However my MIL is insanely jealous of this. She always has a go at grandad for “being too soft” and playful with her.. we don’t see any issue as her parents but I know my MIL does.
My daughter was really poorly last weekend so on Monday, grandad popped by on his way home from work to check up on her. This caused a huge argument because my MIL didn’t want him too.
Then last night we went round for dinner and she forgot her password to something and the hint was “grandchild” - so she made a comment about the other 2 grandchildren and just blanked my daughter .. i was like .. she’s your grandchild too?
Am I just being overly sensitive?
I know my daughter isn’t the favourite, she never has been but it’s starting to get to a point where you can tell that my MIL just doesn’t like her at all and doesn’t like the fact she’s closer to her granddad

Partner/Husband Support

So many women seem to have the same problem of their partner thinking being a sahm means they do not contribute to the home or kids. So many women, even the ones who work, seem to be carrying the load of running the family with men who although supportive have to be given instructions on what they are to do. It’s quite interesting.
Do your partners do pretty well with helping? Are any of you in a relationship where now u feel u want to end things because you see your partner has a unrealistic expectation of rearing children and maintaining a home? Is it how you thought things would go? Did you and partner overcome this challenge?

Don’t know what to do. CPS

What do you do when you get a call at work saying your husband was arrested and your kids are being taken away from you.
House is empty. No laughing no crying. Don’t even remember the laugh or the coos from your baby before leaving to go work at 10. All because my step daughter said that she got hit by daddy with a baseball bat while sleeping. And my son who is 2 fell down a flight of stairs in a walker while I was away at work. Police, homeless shelter managers and my sister in law and mother in law came thank god I called them.

Everything is finalized till next week Wednesday. What do you do?

I can only hope and pray and go to work and pray my babies get back to me…

MIL coming to our bedroom

Mamas I’d love your thoughts on something. My husband wants more privacy after the baby, but my mother in law is offering a lot of help and coming into our room often to check on me and baby or put the baby in her cot when she falls asleep downstairs and all which I don’t mind as she trying to help?! Husband is not happy at all seeing her coming inside our room saying there should be boundaries as it strictly for us not even family must be allowed inside …. I totally understand what he’s saying but at the same I’ve just given birth nd I’ve got MIL offering to help or knocking to come in am I supposed to say pls don’t come in?! I feel stuck in the middle, not sure how to move forward with this as she’s still with us … pls any advice or suggestion? or do u agree on what am saying ? If I’m wrong fair enough but I feel like I’ve done nothing wrong ? Plus I guess he can speak to his mum? Or? & if anything should the MIL not know this ? if u get what I mean .. also he’s saying when she offered I can say “ let me get my husband” most of the times he’s asleep during the day ? Like okay ….

Step son eating everything

My step son is 13 and for the last few months he's been raiding the cupboards all the time and eating everything. If we buy cookies or anything sweet it will be gone within a day or two and we just find wrappers in his room.
I know its normal for teenage boys but my partner doesn't say anything to him. This morning I found a box of chocolates that I was given for Mother's Day ripped open in his room with half of them gone, I sent a pic to my partner and his response was "already seen that this morning" (but didn't say anything to SS)

Question about irrationality

Hello, so my husband had a long stressful day at work. I’m a stay at home mom to our 1 yr old while being 38.5 weeks pregnant. So I do all the house work, cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. He comes home around 530and we go to the grocery store and get back home around 7. He helps me to clean up the mess the baby made and he gave her a bath while I cleaned the kitchen up from dinner and to shut it down for the night. He falls asleep from 8-1130 and comes and sits next to me on the couch. He the. States that he is going to take a shower literally five mins after he wakes up. And I did have a look of irritation bc I had the baby all day with no break. So, he asks why I look like that and i didn’t state what was actually wrong with me and said hey just don’t use all the hot water bc I shower everyday whereas he likes to take days to shower(gross) which today he just now told me he does that to save on the water bill. Never told me that before. But I shower everyday to get the bleach and household chemicals off me from cleaning throughout the day and bc being pregnant I feel yucky if I don’t. So he gets and an attitude stating that I said that to him like he showers everyday and I merely explained I only needed a couple mins to clean myself from the long day. So he ultimately decides he is not going to shower at all . When I proceeded to talk to him about it he stated that he didn’t care and i shouldn’t have made that face at him. Can someone please tell me exactly what it is I did wrong?
