I'm going to blame this on still being hormonal as I'm only 4 week PP, as I FULLY understand how silly this is going to sound to a lot of people...

But if I hear my FIL say one more time how much DS looks like him, I'm going to have a serious meltdown. On facebook, he has pictures of him and my DS and the captions read "My twin", then when I post pictures he comments "just as cute as grandpa", then when I ask if anyone thinks DS will get my eyes, "He's going to look like grandpa".... All this on top of listening to him constantly tell everyone of DH's side of the family (huge Spanish family, so it's a lot) that DS looks just like him. Did he carry DS for ten months? Did he push DS out through his very small hole?! Does he change 10+ diapers a day and wake up every three hours like clockwork!? NO! Than you don't get to take credit for his looks!!!!!!!! Not to mention.. I really hope he doesn't look like my FIL.

I know how petty this is, but it is the most annoying thing and no matter what little comment I make back , he doesn't stop and I can't make him see that it's bothering me...

If you made it to the end and have any advice as to how to get him to stop trying to take credit for our baby that'd be great.. otherwise.. please don't bash me on how immature or stupid you think it is, I know, but that doesn't make it bother me less

First, I don't think this is immature at all, especially if he's constantly saying it.  Maybe try saying, "Know who I think he looks like?  Himself {maybe say baby's name instead to be more direct}."

I don?t have any advice, but I wanted to let you know that you're not alone. DS has red hair just like DH. But it seems that whenever I tell one of my family members how happy I am that DS got his daddy 's hair, they try to tell me all of the relatives with red hair. Even though I'm sure I passed along a red hair gene, i'm pretty dang sure that my son's red hair came from his father and not his great great aunt. And I wish people would realize this and stop making their comments.

I don't have any advice, but it makes me just a little sad that Ben look just like DH.  There isn't much about him that looks like him although I think he might end up with curly hair, at least for a little while.
