I’m sorry you are going through all of this and I pray things get better. I am actually in the same boat with my mother n law and I can relate to your frustration and pain. We can be friends. I never understood mother n laws like this
Aww, my mother in the law is the same way. I keep my distance!
Girl I am soo sorry.. but if your husband isn’t addressing it you should before the baby is there and you receive more jibes and unsolicited parenting advice. It may suck to do but nipping it in the butt now is my best advice
Give back the cold shoulder they will get it eventually I’m sorry you are going through this older people have no respect for others feelings
I am sorry you are going through this. I agree you need to set some boundaries because it will only get worse once the baby arrives and they try to put all of their unsolicited advice on you. You should have a conversation with your husband about how you are feeling. He should address it immediately and if nothing changes sorry but you can’t be in my child’s life. Grandparents want to be mean to the parents and then act like a super grandparent to the child. It is not okay I hope it all gets better for you.
I agree that only your hubby should say something to them, in private. As a therapist I deal with this a lot and can say that expecting that they won’t change is one step …keep your emotional boundaries where you don’t let their dysfunction to be polite get to you. It’s unfortunate, yes!
Hi Karis! First of all, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. No one deserves to be treated that way. In my opinion, your husband needs to step in and tell his family their behavior is unacceptable and cannot go on. He should’ve done this a long time ago. If their bullying continues, together you guys should cut them off. My husband’s sister tried to do something crappy to me years ago when we were just dating and I told him he had to stick up for me and shut it down or we couldn’t continue dating. It’s you, your husband and baby against the world now. Hopefully that made sense and helped
