Oh I don't know what to do

Omg, its been a stressful few days. I just have no where else to vent right now. I've felt crappy the past few days after being in the ER Christmas Eve. My DH seems to revert to a child when his parents are around. He complains about everything and acts like a brat to me. He acts like a little kid around his "mommy" I swear! Then when I want to talk to him about it its MY fault and I'm bipolar! My in-laws have been imposing themselves on everything in my house. Its stupid but I'm so upset that I bought this special book for my son for Christmas so that I could read it to him, and they grab the thing up and start reading it to him. I know he won't even remember it, but seriously I bought the darn book, I wanted to read it to him the first time! I feel like I can't go anywhere without someone acting hateful towards me whether its here on The Bump, at home, or from someone at work because I'm not standing in the right place or doing someone's job for them. I feel like the only person that even likes me is my little boy and I can't even have him because his grandparents are hogging him right now, telling me I shouldn't even hold him or feed him my milk because I'm sick because there's "no need to cause him problems"(actual text message from my MIL). He's my freaking son woman and you can leave my house if you don't want to hand him over! I am just so close to over the edge.

    Take take a deep breath. That's about all you can do at the moment by the sounds of it. HUGS

    Lol, I can try to take a deep breath, but I have pneumonia. My luck! Thanks, I needed a hug for real!

    I'm sorry. :(  I thought pneumonia wasn't contagious? Personally, I would nurse right now, even though it would take more strength/energy, it will give him the extra antibodies and he will be healthier, imo.

    When do your IL's go home?  Can you go out with your LO for some fresh air or are you on restrictions? 

    I hope things get better for you soon, and I hope you get to feeling better.   

    I did get info from the pediatrician that its not, but the in-laws don't believe me. And I am definitely still giving him my milk, it would be stupid not to. I think its important for him to get fresh milk from me since my body is probably producing the antibodies to whatever it is that I have that caused the pneumonia. I'm not supposed to be out in the cold air, and I tried going out shopping and thought I was going to pass out by the time we were done. Tomorrow is their last day here. Sometimes I appreciate the extra help being sick, but sometimes they go too far. I know that's probably a common problem with any grandparent. I'm just afraid they will offer to stay longer since I'm sick, lol. Thanks for the well wishes, I so need them.

    I'm sorry things aren't going well for you.  I had a near blow-up at my MIL over the holidays for similar reasons.  Luckily she lives 2 hours away and I was at her house, not the other way around.  I hope you're feeling better soon!

    I'm sorry that you have to go through all of that stress on top of being sick. You are for sure doing right by you LO by still giving him your milk. Other family can be so overbearing, especially when they have an old school way of thinking (thinking you shouldn't nurse when you're sick). If they offer to stay just tell them that you will feel more relaxed when you can get back toba normal routine, even if the help is nice, being stressed will keep you sick longer. Feel better soon!

    So sorry to hear you have to deal with all this on top of being sick.  Thankfully they'll be gone soon, just try to accept the help you can right now and focus on getting better.  Big hugs!

    i feel your pain. My ILs can be pretty awful too. I would not be able to stand having them stay with us. MIL rearranged my house while babysitting DS one day.
