Gma know it all

My mother-in-law seems like she knows everything. I was trying to get baby to sleep and she fought so hard. MIL said "Here let me do it." And of course she couldn't get her to sleep. I really can't stand her and my hub says I'm overreacting.

One day we were over and baby was fighting her sleep. MIL went outside and gave her a paci so I wouldn't see. I was P'ed because I don't want her to have one. My family is 2 states away so we only have his. I really want a break with my husband but I don't think I can trust his parents to watch her. Also, we moved to his parents because I thought they would be better for her. And now they are getting a divorce and aren't a stable relationship so it is acquired being around them. Ugh.

  • Im on the same boat. My mother in law gets on my nerves she always has something to say

  • I know how you feel. My own fam pisses me off. My mom has been getting on my case about me leaving him so she can babysit. She just doesn't understand why I don't want to leave him to drive 1 1/2 hours to go to a hockey game and drive another 1 1/2 back. I'm a stay at home mom and My LO is ebf so he doesn't get bottles hardly ever so he's not good at taking them. She keeps giving me shit for still breastfeeding all the time. Like I should stop just so they can babysit. I didn't have a child so other people can watch him. They think he's going to be socially wierd cause we stay home with him all day or something. Oh and my parents bout had a cow when I told them we wernt going to let our LO eat McDonald's cause we think it's gross They argued with me and said what I didn't know won't hurt me. That pissed me off. And they think I'm going to leave him alone with them.
  • I agree with the McDonalds. I hate it for many gross reasons.

    My DD is a horrible sleeper. She will fight for so long. She started getting better after we started sleep training at night, but it didn't last long. She is back fighting especially with all the schedule changes from the holiday. My DH and I just bought a house and the other day and we had them baby sit so we sign papers. She was so tired from fighting and waking up early that she passed out for a short nap with them. This made gma feel special and blah. Which is why she said "let me do it". I'm really needing a break but I don't think they can handle her screaming without shoving a paci in her mouth.
  • I wanted to buy this onesie for DS that said My mother doesn't need your f*cking advice lol DH pointed it out to me when we were at the mall Xmas shopping and goes this is a perfect shirt for you but if DS worn his mother better not see it bc it would pissed her off lol He knows how his mother can be towards me about DS and I never listen to her I don't need to I'm doing just fine DH and I are doing just fine. If we wanted her advice or help we would ask lol
  • Lol. Love it. I would love that shirt for her. DH would get mad though and say I need to be nice. What fun is being nice?
  • I dont have that problem with my mother or MIL but my sister..... She has 4 kid (all of whom she could care less about) so she is Mommy Genius and questions everything I do, like asking why I use a bib and makes comments about everything. While I love my nephews, they run around like wild children & my son will not end up anything like hers. Mostly because she cares more about her many BF's and phone games but I irritates me SOOOO much when she makes comments. 

    I would love that onesie for strangers, i still bite my tongue when people hear him fuss and say oh he's hungry ( I just fed him, he's not hungry) He's my kid, how on earth would some random person know what he needs more than me?
