Success after IF
WTF
DH's family is not always fond of me. I am "stuck up, and uptight" Whatever.... Maybe I am.
DH's Grandma stopped by this AM and told me she was "taking the boys for the day" Um......No. She told me that we keep them from them (a running theme with them) and that I needed a break. Just hand over the "boosters for the car" and She would call me later. I can begin to list the reasons why she may not take them, but really it doesn't matter my reasoning. I said no, plain and simple.
The woman is nuts. My actual MIL is not terribly involved, but his g-ma could rival any scary-asssss MIL you can throw at me. She fed Nolan a peanubutter cookie at 6 months, and told me I was being controlling when I stopped her. She tries to shovel things in Lincoln's Mouth when we are not looking despite the warnings and pleas for his food intolerances.
TOXIC. She left in a huff, and I am sure I will hear about it from DH's Dad.

Re: WTF
YIKES!!!!!!!!! I am sorry. NO ONE can tell me they are taking my kids...NO ONE
Good for you for standing up to her
who the fluck does she think she is?
:::shaking head:::
How'd the casted arm fair overnight? I remember Ava had a hard time getting comfy those 1st couple nights...
Are her fingers broken? Could she not call first? There are all sorts of wrongs going on here.
Heck, Nolan just had a cast put on yesterday. He needs to be at home.
As for Lincoln's food concerns--I bet she thinks that you are making it up.
I'm sorry that you've had to deal with this. I hope that your DH has your back and that his family gets a clue.
She is too cheap to use her phone! She does think we are making it up. She thought so too when Nolan did not tolerate lactose. Whatever! DH backs me up to me, but HATES confrontation. They kind of worship him, and never confront him with anything. He NEVER can do wrong to them, except for marrying me!
MIL tried that once when Izzy was like 2 months old. It didn't happen and I heard all about how I don't trust them blah blah blah.
Now she gets to watch her 3x week while I am at work. Thats plenty!
She sounds like my MIL! I totally feel your pain...I think I have made her cry now a total of 3x and we have gotten into a fight with her every time they come and visit.(abt 3x a year)...It really sucks and I dread it every time they come. She has/knows "NO bounderies" and is just seriously controlling over her grown adult children..and tries to be a mother to me (mine passed away) when I don't really need one. I have delt with my mothers death she can't deal with it..
DH used to be non confrentational..just let his mom do/dictate whatever to us..FINALLY with this child on the way he is telling her no and it is driving her crazy! She litterly crys on the phone everytime they talk and the latest has been throwing some really terrible things in his face. ..Then tries to be nice by buying us things so she can get her way..its really sick..
I am not sure how you handle someone like that but I know for me I am NOT backing down..I am going to keep telling her how I feel and she is just going to have to deal with changes. THis is why DH says..I moved to FLa to get away from my parents and I am starting to agree..
Wow. I am so sorry that you have to deal with that. Unbelievable!
Oh hell no...hell no...
That's ridiculous....people don't just show up and tell you that they are taking your kids without permission and prior planning...hell no...
