Your feelings are valid and that’s such a big hug red flag that she let her kids cry to sleep and feed them once in a while I would not feel comfortable with my kids being around a woman like that
Not overreacting I would have told husband if you want to host you clean I’m taking a nap I’m sorry you had to deal with especially on Christmas Tell your MIL that you are not her and that she raised her kids how she wanted to now it’s your Turn basically a polite way of telling her where she can shove it
You are totally okay to feel this way. Also, never ever listen to others when you get to raise your baby your way she had her chance, and now it's yours. It's okay to say no this 1st year it's assertive communication. You got this!! Also, congrats on the new addition. may your new year be filled with lots of baby giggles.
Both valid and overreacting. Who cares what your MIL says? You're tired because you have a 6mo. You're exhausted because you're hosting a family event with no help. Her questions are basic and obvious. She can hold Christmas at her house if she thinks she can do better. If she wants an invite for next year she can have some pie and shut her mouth.
Thank you ladies for your reassurance, support and insight!! 🫶🫶🫶 definitely will need to be more assertive in this new role of being a mom! Lots of adjustment being a ftm in family dynamics, been interesting to see —it’s like my eyes are open now with new perspective because of the role change!
Your feelings are absolutely VALID
