"I hate being a Grandma. I want to be a Mom."

Yeah. My MIL is so not right in the head that this is what she said today. 

Other things/topics she mentioned - in the span of 2 hours?

- About WHEN she gets to babysit. (Yeah.........no.) 

- How apparently LO only needs to be good for DADDY so DADDY can sleep. (And now I understand why it seems that whenever she's over, she tries not to disturb DH but if I'm trying to rest or sleep -b/c you know, I'm the one who gave birth to LO & all- then all is out the window.)

- And she acts like she doesn't get to see LO very much. (Yeah - about every other day isn't very much at all.....) 

Almost can't wait for DH to go back to work Friday, Then I'll get to make sure the door is shut & locked & 'pretend' to not hear anyone knock or ring the doorbell. :D

    Wow!! My mom tells me all the time the reason to have kids is so they can give you perfect grandchildren.  She LOVES being a grandma so much.

    Yowza...GL with her. Most older women I know say tht in retrospect, being a mom stinks and they love being a gradmom so much more. They get to enjoy all the cuteness while the parents do all the work.

    Yeah. She gives the phrase 'something else' a whole new meaning.

    My mom calls my daughter "her baby" but I'm okay with it because she's her baby granddaughter. She waited a long time to have grandkids (my brother was 42 when he had my nephew and I am 39 with her granddaughter). Luckily, my mom is NOT a crazy lady. Good luck with your MIL. Maybe since she wants to be the mommy so bad, she can pay for all the diapers.

    It made me LOL when you said you will pretend not to hear the door. Hope she doesn't have a key to your house she may use it if you don't come to the door.

    Good luck with that, my MIL liked to show up all the time with DS1, DH finally had to tell her to call first and then had to tell her to plan visits on evenings and weekends when he was home... she had no respect for nap time!

    That would require her to have a job first. Which she doesn't have....or a car.....or her own place. She says she wants to set a good example for her grandkids. Yeah......

    I think I would shoot my husband if he gave his mother a key to our house. 

    She does call. Pretty much if she's not at our house then she's calling our house. Literally. Which most of the time we don't answer our phone. We have it on silent a lot b/c most phone calls aren't for us (they're either telemarketers or calls for our roommates). But apparently if we don't answer that means to come on over.
