DH MIL Vent

Since I am probably being an immature baby right now and I am hiding in my bedroom because I flaming mad, I've decided to right out my vent.  Maybe I will feel better and join the rest of my family...

DH and I had a talk the other day about DS and his whining.  DS goes to my IL's house on average twice a week while I work.  Since it is free daycare, I am trying not to get too upset but I often get annoyed with them.

If DS whines or cries, MIL asks him what he wants and always proceeds to give him something to eat. BTW, I make DS his lunch, snack, etc. each day.  We agreed that DH would help when we are over there to make it a point to steer her from doing such things.  I have made enough comments but its not working.  

So today, I bought DH some sour licorice as a treat for him.  I told him to make sure not to eat it in front of DS so he won't want any.  Well my FIL is over and here comes DS with a piece of licorice in his hand. DH gave it to him!! FIL says, "oh he can have candy now?"  I was fuming! The thing that pisses me off the most, is that I look like the b!tch for being upset.  

To make matters worse, MIL comes in and DS starts saying "momma," to her.  Everyone else laughs but I storm off in my room to cool off.  I swear its her fault.  She always thinks his mama sounds like grandma.  ITS NOT GRANDMA, HE IS SAYING MAMA. STOP ENCOURAGING IT!

Being pregnant doesn't help either!  So if you've read this far, thank you.  I don't feel better yet, but I don't know how long I can stay locked in my room.

    I'm sorry. It sounds like it's one of those days where you feel like are working your butt off to be a good mom, but everyone is out to sabatoge your work. I hope the rest of your weekend turns out better.

    Yeah days like that are seriously the worst.
    I can kind of relate

    I'm sorry. I've been there (a million times) with my MIL as well, and there are some days that I can just ignore it, and some days where I let my anger about it get the best of me. When DD was younger, she'd have her hands near her face, and MIL would always try to encourage DD to suck her thumb because she thought it was cute... One day I flat out said to MIL "Would you like to pay the dentist bills when she grows up? No? I didn't think so, so stop encouraging her to suck her thumb." lol... It was b!tchy of me, but MIL did all kinds of stupid things like that and she drove me crazy.

    I'm sorry, I can't offer much advice, but I can commiserate. lol I had to hold back A LOT on my MIL. I made a lot of comments to her before, but now I just tell her flat out what my problem is when she does something. Unfortunately it hasn't made for the greatest relationship with her... but the stuff she does is so stupid sometimes.

    I would have been upset, too. The licorice situation is a health risk because 1) babies can choke on it and 2) it's not good for them anyways and gets stuck in their teeth. Your DH was being stupid.

    Hearing your baby call someone else mama? It's heartbreaking :(
