  She sounds a little bit nuts. Or she just wants to AW the fact that she bought him some expensive toy so all your other FB friends see it.

  Glad to hear LO is about to crawl! My LO is no where near crawling!

  LOL what a weirdo!

  My weekly contribution is this- last week while she was watching DS, I came downstairs taking a break from my work & so I took him from her since he was fussing & just sat by a window talking quietly to him about what he saw outside.  He quieted down immediately & we were having a really nice, quiet mommy & baby moment.

  MIL comes over after like 1 whole minute of us being alone & all up in our faces, grabbing his feet, making noises trying to play with him. Then she goes on this random tangent about how we should have a housewarming party & register at home depot. LOL WTF, lady? I said, no, we're not having a housewarming party about 8 times & she was just insistent that we ARE having one.

  She is just so oblivious! First off, I came downstairs b/c I had a break from work & would like to have a moment with my son. Obviously I wanted to be alone b/c I took him from you & walked away into another room. It was just rude of you to come & interrupt considering you watch him all day & have all that time alone with him, why can't you "allow" me a few friggin minutes!!!

  And second, just shut up about a housewarming party! We've been here since October & don't need to have a party just so people can buy us things! So just drop it!
  

  It was so annoying on so many levels.

  So, I posted on Facebook that B got up on his hands and knees, right?  Most of the comments are innocuous - "Wow, he's so strong!" "It goes by so fast!" "And so begins the gradual raising of the "safe zone" in the house...", etc.

  My MIL posts "Wait until you get the Discovery Toy Caterpillar going. He'll really start moving..."

  This is the second comment she's made about that damn toy.  I posted a video a couple weeks ago of him rolling over, talking and scooting forward half an inch and she replied with "Pretty soon he'll be crawling after the caterpillar toy..."

  The Discovery Toy Caterpillar is this toy she got him.  It's on wheels and jointed and when you push down on the joint it scoots forward like 3 feet.  It's cute but, eh, you know, nothing extraordinary.
  

  She is so damn WEIRD and obsessed.  Like the only thing he will want to crawl after is the toy that she got him.  It's more likely he'll want to crawl after the dogs or a shiny tin can or something than this toy.  KWIM?
  

  That is so strange. You should take a picture of DS "playing" with the caterpillar toy just to placate her.

  Glad I'm not the only one with a batty MIL.  Friday we were at a wedding, MIL comes up and hands me LO, says he's super fussy, that he needs a bottle.  She says, "do you have a bottle for him?" I said, "yeah but I'll feed him, I'm hurting (she knows I BF when LO and I are together).  she looks at me cross-eyed like I had a third eye or something.  I had to repeat that I would feed him 3 times before she would walk away. ..uh yeah, not pulling my boobie out in front of you!

  My weekly contribution:  So DH took LO to MIL's yesterday to see her (I suspect she called him and asked him to bring LO over because it was so out of the blue when DH told me he was going), and he comes back with stuff for LO for easter.  Included was a race track and a package of 6 Hot Wheels cars. WTF??!  He's not even 4 months old yet!

  @ OP: LOL! That is obnoxious, but funny. The more she talks about it, the more he'll love that toy - it's flawless logic. Duhh.
  @ Bosha: Talk about oblivious! It stinks when those precious moments get ruined for no good reason.

  Here's my Crazy MIL story:
    This morning both SIL and I were at MIL's and she was running to the store for something to make everyone for breakfast, so she left her LO (2 1/2 months old) under MIL's charge while she was gone. 
    In about five minutes he started crying. MIL got up and went into the other room with him, I assumed she was getting a bottle ready. After about 20 seconds I got up and went into the kitchen, no MIL, I still hear my nephew crying. I turn the corner and see MIL sitting at the computer desk, talking on her cell phone. She says "Will you go check on [nephew]? The dogs just went in there," gesturing toward her bedroom. I go in and that little boy is laying in the middle of her big, poofy, queen-size bed, he is screaming, and two of the five dogs in the house are also ON the bed!!! There are SO MANY things wrong with this I don't even know where to begin. I yell at the American Bulldog to get off the bed as I try to pick up my nephew, still crying, while still holding my son and MIL hangs up the phone and starts to walk over. The cell phone rings again and she turns around, sits back down, and chats with FIL for a few more minutes (I knew it was him from the ringtone).

    I no longer need to justify why I won't allow them to babysit. I, personally, dont answer the phone when the baby is crying. Especially if it's just my husband. A lawyer, maybe I could understand. I have been waiting for SIL to call me when she leaves MIL's house so I can tell her about it. I just keep thinking thank goodness I was there. So many things could have gone wrong while he was all alone in that room.

  Here's mine! She offered to take care of M for us for the weekend in the next two weeks when we go to the east coast for a friend's ordination. She hasn't even watched her for 2 hours by herself, let alone 2 whole days! She is out of her damn mind if she thinks we're leaving our daughter for the first time overnight with someone who hasn't taken care of her, ever, by herself. PS - reason she doesn't get to babysit is that her house is a disaster and basically unsafe for a baby, and she doesn't want to come over here because it's "too far"...a whole 10 minute drive.
