AIBU?

My MIL never asks me how I’m doing in pregnancy, she never asks my partner how I am but just constantly texts my partner saying ‘how is my princess doing’ referring to her granddaughter It offends me that she doesn’t bother to ask how I’m doing despite knowing I’ve had a really difficult pregnancy, and I hate her constantly referring to my daughter as HER princess. It just really gets under my skin Am I being unreasonable?

Nope! My MIL does the same thing. We’ve approached her about and she sees nothing wrong with it. It hurts

She calls my son her baby. Like uhhh no ma’am…that’s MY baby

MILs are weird. Mine lives with me and we hardly interact. The times we do, she’s only talking about the baby. Sometimes she’ll walk past me, to the baby, talk to the baby for 2 minutes and not say anything to me. So I’d say NBU 🤷

Aw sweetie, you're still reeling from the rough pregnancy and birth physically, emotionally and mentally. It can be traumatic and thats why PPD and PTSD are serious conditions. I urge you to seek counseling. As for your MIL, She may be timid about asking b/c she doesn't want to be accused of being nosey and up in your business. Or maybe she's one of those people who think that moms are the toughest people on earth and if they need something, they will ask for themselves. As for her calling your daughter her princess, well grandparents are known for spoiling the grand babies... Honestly my own dad calls my daughters his babies, and I let him, B/c he has wanted grandchildren for so long and out of 5 children of his own, I am the only one who has been able to give him grandchildren and yes he spoils them, but to me, that is just him reliving having us 5 young again. He rarely asks about me, heck he will call and ask me how his son is...my husband, lol I don't get Jealous, anymore.

My MIL did the same. When I went into the hospital with PP Pre e, she could care less to ask how I was doing. She even told me two months pp that I don’t look like myself and haven’t since the birth. I don’t go around her or my FIL,because they are emotionally immature. She tends to put up subliminal posts on FB to get a reaction out of me.

My MIL told me that without me she would have her son and her grandchild. I don’t go around anymore since she said that. The last time she will see me until my child turns one will be Sunday. My husband and daughter see his parents but I don’t anymore.
