My FFFC regarding DS's birth.

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

I resent my MIL for staying with us for 2 weeks after his birth (uninvited). We got along fine before & could talk about anything but now I cringe at the thought of her coming to town :P

Also, she lives 19 hrs away & has been thinking about moving to my hometown (where DH & I are now) and I WILL tell her NO! She isn't welcome.

Vent over! Whew... feels good to get that off my chest!

    My MIL doesn't offer advice/opinions at all.... BUT she tries to get us to leave so she can have DS alone ( I think to "play house" and pretend he's DH!!!) She begs us to let him stay in her room at night & for us to go out to eat so she can babysit him... UMMM NO... and you're being creepy about it so DOUBLE NO!

    This is me exactly!  My MIL keeps telling me things I need to do and how DS is going to be behind on everything because he's too big.  Thank God he finally turned over I thought she was going to drive me insane about it!  She kept saying how she knew a couple with a baby one month younger than DS and he was already turning over and that I needed to teach him how.  How the hell do you teach an infant anything?! He will do it on his own time and don't compare my kid to other babies! At least DH would gripe at her when she was going too far and he knew how bad is irritated me.

    OH my gosh my MIL and I were doing fairly well before DS was born, but now she's SUCH a drama queen. Had this huge tantrum all because we missed a few weekends visiting her. DH had to work, it wasn't like we were avoiding her. She could very easily drive in. But she's been super cold and btchy lately- basically saying that her feelings as grandmother supercede my right as a new mother to want to go out with my friends now and then, or stay at home and mourn when I lost a family member and was unable to go to the funeral.

    It's getting where neither DH or I want to go visit her, because she was acting so ridiculous. I'm dreading our next visit out- likely this sunday.

    How sweet of her to tell you your baby is behind. That's just what every mother wants to hear! my goodness. some people need to keep their mouths shut!
