So today MIL and FIL came over for a visit, they live 5 houses down mind you, because they wanted to see the baby's room. For some odd reason whenever MIL mentions our baby, it really annoys me. Shes always saying that the baby is hers and that its her little Jeff (DHs name is Jeff), but heres the kicker...today she informed that DHs niece keeps calling the baby her little brother, which sickens me. I corrected her, which should have been MILs job, then I was made to feel stupid because MIL says yes that is your little brother. UGH! Then I am told that his niece will be spending lots of time with the baby, which I will never let happen. I hate that people are making plans for my child without even consulting me, as little as the plans are.
Please forgive me, but for some reason I go 9 months without so much as one crazy hormonal outburst and then this week I have 50! Its insane!
Re: I am just pure hateful here lately...
Both my mom and MIL say "my baby". I usually correct them nicely with a "no, your grandbaby". They always look at me and then correct themselves. I'm hoping if I say it enough they will finally clue it in.
As for the niece, she should grow up knowing the difference and that is wrong of MIL. You should have DH have a sit down talk with them. It really sucks they are putting your little niece in the middle of something like that. Try not to blame your niece she is merely mocking the adults.
