MIL
I just need to see if i’m going crazy with my MIL. My LO is about to be 3 months. Don’t get me wrong, my in laws have been great to us and I do love them. My mil just seems a little overbearing and my husband thinks I hate her or i’m overreacting and it’s starting to make me feel crazy. In the beginning, I didn’t really think anything of it when my LO was a newborn. I was very overwhelmed and for the most part she did let me hold him and bond with him. But now as soon as she walks through the door of our house she’s expecting him in her arms. The holds him the entirety of her visit. She also says over and over “you just wanted to see mamaw and you miss your mamaw so much” like no, he’s only 3mo old. I don’t know why it frustrates me so much but it does. My husband just thinks she wants to give me a break but I don’t think he understands, I don’t care for her to hold him but the whole time is way too much. Like the other day we went out to eat and literally before we even sat down she yells over and over if he starts crying in the car seat and wakes up I’M getting him. Like she’s “calling him” like he’s a damn toy. She also picked him up and took him over to a table leaving me behind and went and talked to her church friends just showing him off like he’s hers! I really am just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt because she for the most part is really good to me. But my husband almost hates me for saying anything and threatens to tell her everything I say. Also he says she just misses him and wants to hold him because she doesn’t see him. Mind you this woman comes over at least 2-3 times weekly and holds him the entire time. She also goes on about if he’s crying she says you just wanna go spend the night with mamaw don’t you. Like he needs to get away from his parents. Side note my husband is an only child and he calls her like 5 times a day to talk to her, I feel like she still controls him in his life. I just feel like I may be overreacting and i’m not sure what to do. Also another crazy thing, she knows my no kissing rule and for the most part in the beginning she followed that rule but now she has in her head that kissing him on the head is still okay as long as it’s not the face. Also mind she regularly gets cold sores! I told my husband I don’t know how to go about saying something to her. She also had no idea cold sores are herpes. I just feel like i’m going crazy!
