Changed since pregnancy

Does anyone else feel like they’ve changed since before they pregnant in ways they never expected? Before I was pregnant, I had a great relationship with my in laws. However, during pregnancy and since our son was born, I find myself becoming so irritated around them. I really hate it and feel like I’m being irrational. I tell myself each time not to be before I see them but I get triggered soon as we get there. I hate when my MIL calls my son “MY beautiful baby boy” and constantly tells me things I know as a 30 year old woman such as not flushing baby wipes down the toilet 😅 When they come to in our house they constantly micromanage every thing like we don’t know what we’re doing. In my heart I know they trying to help but I just can’t help getting annoyed. Anyways please tell me this is hormones and I’ll get my patience back with them!

I'm with you, I have this weird rage/annoyance with mine too. I feel like they didn't help me and only wanted to see the baby, every time they come I wait for the "how are you/can we do anything" and when it doesn't I get worked up and annoyed. I don't want help with the baby, I want help with the mundane life tasks. I finally told my husband the other night that it has annoyed me & I'm hoping that's helped not keeping it bottled up....we'll see when they next come though..

My father in law done my head in before I got pregnant. During and need he really irritates me, I can’t stand it when he’s holding my little girl. The way he talks to her, all he says it’s what repeatedly x

@Amy lol I could have wrote the same message. Facebook posts such as ‘my little girl’ ‘my princess’ some other posts which have upset me too in process - all whilst he screenshots the photos I’ve taken and uploaded whilst on a public account which has annoyed me x

Omg same.. before pregnancy I got on great with my in-laws.. but all through pregnancy mil kept referring to baby as her little peanut 🥜 I know it's the name of the app but if someone called me a nut I'd be insulted! 😂 She said she was only going to call her by her middle name too. Now she's born, she basically tried to take over, even set up her own nursery in her home.. as if I was letting her have the baby for nights on end!! It didn't take long for me to say something and now we barely speak. And I'm not mad about that haha.
