mil pp insanity
I just want to come complain for a minute so excuse my rant.
My mil is driving me nuts. Unfortunately my husband lost his job and we’ve temporarily had to move in with his parents. He’s now employed again but with the abrupt change we have fallen on hard times. I’m grateful for the shelter and the help don’t get me wrong but the woman is insufferable. She’s always made snide remarks to me that’s nothing new. Ive just learned over the years to bite my tongue and not let it bother me.
I’m now in my 30s and 9 mo pp with my youngest and I just can’t stand her anymore. She’s a control freak and just can’t help herself. I decided to exclusively bf and that’s a problem. “Your milks not enough for that baby” “that baby is spoiled to you because it’s attached to the breast” “you need to wean the baby off now” “give baby regular milk they’re already 9 mo” I carry my baby and that’s a problem “put babe down that’s why they’re so spoiled” “let them crawl around they need to be out of everyone’s hands all the time” mind you babe is 9mo and very smart and finds the smallest things to put into their mouth ie:dog hair, pills my inconsiderate fil could drop, dog food, bread ties plus babe is almost to walking and mil has hard stone floors in her whole home which could be dangerous for my baby to fall. on.
That only scratches the surface as those are just some of the more recent comments that have riled me up but I just don’t know how to deal with it any longer. My husband is on my side with my feelings but attempting to converse or explain to the woman is literally impossible seeing as she is the most controlling person I’ve ever met and nothing she says/does is wrong. I’m at my wits end to the point where I’ve considered leaving my husband and older child just to get away from her. I get no support and isolated from my own family because she will start ww3 every time I go for a visit.
It’s much more to the point of where I can’t even discipline my older child or parent the way I want to but that’s a whole other rant.
