Sh*t my MIL says/Rant

I consider myself lucky when it comes to MILs. She is by no means a witch. But she annoys the crap out of me and I feel horrible for saying it. She is kind enough to babysit LO 12ish hours a week so I can sleep for work. And it kills me every time I leave my LO with her, even though I am only going upstairs to the bedroom.
Anyways, as soon as she got here I ran to make lunch because I was starving and she says "I'll eat lunch with you!" That was the whole point of me waiting for her to get here, so she could watch LO while I ate. Anyways, I am making pb&j sandwiches and MIL said she used to "get away with" eating pb&j when she was "skinny" like me. As she is heating up Chinese takeout in the microwave. Yeah, because pb&j is so much unhealthier. She goes on to say "when you get older, your metabolism goes to sh*t." Yes, it does slow down a little but maybe your weight problem has something to do with the fact that you never exercise and eat crap like those donuts you were trying to tempt me with.
Now its time for me to cram some sleep in before I start hearing LO cry and feel more horrible. I wish I could be a SAHM so much.
Thanks for letting me rant. I needed that.

Mine wants to fix everything and is determined that I should be giving my LO water. Holy crap lady enough with the WATER!
OP I hope you are getting some good sleep.
As for smoking it is so hard to quit. I want to start again so badly but have not.
Last time she was here she was holding LO and LO kept looking over at me. MIL told me she was only interested in me bc I'm her food source. Gee, thanks.
OP, I don't know what I would do if my MIL was around frequently like yours. It is so hard to ignore comments!
Then this afternoon she decided to work in the yard. She pulled out all of the plants/flowers in one corner of our front yard b/c it was over grown. Other than being over grown it looked nice. We had talked about taking out some plants/flowers, but not before we had another plan. She pulled them out of the green waste bin, but its not the same. DH is really irritated bc now he's going to have to really water that area and weed to keep it alive.
I appreciate that she wants to help; I just can't believe she didn't ask first.
She also discovered on her recent visit how much LO hates to sit around when awake. She said " your h was like that, oh god was it so annoying. Good luck with that." You know what? I'm glad my kid is curious. I'm glad she is active. If I have to walk around my house a million times, so be it. She comes to visit and all she does is bitch. She just wants to sit on her ass, eat my food, and drink my wine. Haha lady, LO doesn't like to do that and if you are so hell bent on holding her, get up!
