Mother in law
Looking for Godly advise and successful mother in law stories. I feel so ungrateful for having a village (friends, mom, sister and mother in law) that help me but my mother in law living with us and my baby being the first grandson she knows no boundaries. I have been praying to God for peace, love, and compassion for her. She is also Christian and so loving and caring but she gets upset if she doesn’t carry the baby or she just comes in my room and wants to hang out but I’m tired. I just want to vent I guess. I talked to my pastor about this because I do feel so ungrateful for having something a lot of moms want which is help 😪 how I do deal with this.. I want Godly advise, not advise that’s going to put more stress or negativity into my relationship with her.
It’s so understandable to feel this way, and it doesnt make you ungrateful, it just makes you human and in need of healthy boundaries. It s a blessing to have support, but even blessings require balance. You are navigating a tender season of motherhood, and its okay to protect your rest and space while still honoring your mother-in-law’s love for your baby. Perhaps gentle, loving communication can help. expressing appreciation for her presence while setting small boundaries that give you the breathing room you need. Prayerfully ask God for wisdom (James 1:5) in handling these moments with grace, and trust that He will guide you. You’re doing a wonderful job, and your feelings are valid! Praying for peace in your home and heart
