helicopter grandmothers?

in March 2013 Moms

so let me preface this post by saying that i absolutely love my mother..

last night we went to dinner at my parents house for easter (it was a long day...) and my mom started nagging about every little thing: go heat the car up, put the baby's hat on, etc...

my husband finally turned around and said "you were a first time parent once - please let us have the same chance".  this is the first time they have ever had words in the five years we have been together. the thing is - my mom has been hovering and nagging since the baby was born almost 3 weeks ago. she thinks we are "too laid back" and "don't worry enough"

is anyone else going through the same thing? now today my mom hasnt called or texted me. this is the first day we havent spoken since my little girl was  born. i know she is upset but i am actually thrilled my husband stood up to her.  

sorry for the long post but if anyone has any experience with this, I would love your insight. TIA!!

    I am glad to h

    My most recent experience with this was when MIL came to "help out" for the day (I apparently don't get a say in whether she's coming or not), and told me I needed to feed my child NOW. Um, I know when she's hungry, back off or there are going to be WO

    Since I went through this with my first dd I now  just look at whoever is saying whatever it maybe to me and say something like yes thank you, and then do whatever the hell I want to do. Not only am I my childrens mother, but I am also well
