SO MIL just walked in..

I mean just rang the doorbell and walked in.  I don't what it is, but after the baby I just feel like I don't want her anywhere near me.  I used to have an awesome relationship with MIL but now it's just different.  Has anyone else have this feeling after LO was born?

    Yes!  I think it's because I know the second I see her she is going to steal my child away from me and not give her back until she leaves.  It sucks.  The worst thing is when DD starts crying or something and she won't give her to me because she wants to be the one to soothe her and calm her down.  When my child cries or fusses I want her back, I want to soothe her, I'm her freakin mom!

    Yes my feelings have changed too.  I still love her but man I am really sensitive to what she says and that mama bear feeling is super intense when I am around her..

    I was thinking about writing the same thing...my mil is driving me nuts!  before the lo, i really enjoyed her and felt lucky to have a great relationship with my in-laws...now, i find myself going out of my away to avoid her.  when i walk into a room with my lo and she is there, she is always saying, "he wants to be held by his grandmom..." or "can i hold him, can i hold him??" 

     

    my lo also has reflux and has to be upright a lot...my mil forgets this all the time and i find her lying him down flat just after i nursed him...i am always telling her to keep him up and she says "oh, yeah, he has reflux...i forgot."  

     

    ARG!

    Me! My MIL was at least semi-normal until she became a grandma when J was born. Now she is just plain crazy, obsessed with J, and has little or no regard for my feelings or preferences.

    This.  She's obsessed.  Constantly holding him and taking pictures.  Cute, but annoying.  He's her baby...not mine.  She thinks that's funny.  I know I should be happy she cares, and I do.  It's just overbearing.  She pretends to care what my thoughts are, but she is so over protective and thinks she knows more.  I have more experience with kids than her (there's always been someone in diapers in my family, and I've been changing them since I was capable).  She hasn't been around a baby since the 80's, and you should see her hold him.  You'd think she thought he was glass.  I can't do anything with him..."he's too fragile."  Ugh. 

    If she didn't come over everyday and think she knew better, I would still like her like I used to.  Now I cringe when the phone rings and I ignore her calls/texts.
