FFFC - holiday edition

I'm sooooo late! Sorry ladies, but here's your spot for flame free holiday confessions!
Re: FFFC - holiday edition
I want to smother my SIL's boyfriend with a pillow. And I would smile while doing it. I. Can't. Even. I'm sure you guys understand. I love when god awful boyfriends join us for Christmas 3 weeks into their dating relationship. I love when those said asshole boyfriends think that after 3 weeks they are now your nephew's father and that gives them the right to offer all sorts of parenting advice, and reprimand your own child. Sorry dude, 3 weeks of helping to watching a 12 month old does not make you an expert and if you freaking yell at my child again I will punch you in the face. I will take my 6 months pregnant self and knock you to your ass. You have no rights in this family. You are a guest who we allow here because we are nice. You do not make the rules. You don't even get to comment on the rules. You shut up, take a seat and feel out of place. He feels the need to stand up for my SIL and nephew or something and tells DD to "cover your mouth", "no pushing", "don't throw nephew's toy". Honestly, I don't need your help. If SIL told DD to not push or something than I am totally ok with that. She is family, she knows my daughter and she knows me. When a perfect stranger picks on my kid all day it isn't f***ing ok.

I am still fuming from last night at my parents'. It was time to go, around 6:15pm. DD goes to bed at 6:30...and she skipped her nap yesterday so she was done. Done with everything and everyone but still holding it together quite nicely. My mom comes over and says "give me a hug before you go." DD tries to squirm away and says no. My mom proceeds to keep trying to grab her. I say "If she doesn't want to hug, she doesn't have to."
My mom says "I know" then picks her up anyways and hugs her.
It's a really big boundary for us as parents. I felt like I did a good job stating clearly what my mom should do and then she ignored. So now I feel like I need to pull her aside today and tell her that can't happen again. Ever.
I'm just really mad. Why do people think they have a right to do whatever they want to children?!
