MIL

Anyone elses MIL feel like she knows it all? My daughter was struggling to sleep last night and my fiancé and I needed a break so my MIL came over and we told her she was tired but my MIL proceeds to try to watch cartoons with my 3 month old and play with her 😐. My daughter started crying so much and when I said she was tired and overstimulated my MIL insisted she was just teething and that loudly singing a lullaby to her would help 😭😭. We didn’t even get proper break just an hour of my MIL ignoring her cries while she was overtired and it broke my heart so we ended up taking her back and nicely sending my MIL home

Yes. My mom is the same

I have that issue with my own mom

That’s when you or your husband have to tell her you aren’t parenting your child that way and that you know better. There’s more research now on babies and what worked for her when she was raising kids isn’t what works now. That would’ve made me so mad seeing my baby crying.

That would of made me mad, I would not let her baby sit now

I am the biggest b**tch to people who have tried to take over and not listen to me about my daughter!

My own mother has her things about babies (she loved to play with babies) but she is very relaxed about the crying/soothing stuff. She complained when my sil wouldnt bring toys for her infants but I told her to keep it to herself 😅 my mil however will roll her eyes at me and is passive aggressive about my choices

@Samantha yeah I’m trying my best to encourage him to be slightly more confrontational when it comes to others trying to discard our input about OUR child because it’s just disrespectful

We ended up at the police and she got a certain Meter rule to stay away from me and my baby. She depressed me so much after birth She aint allowed near me and i have never been happier

@Irene Dang it must’ve taken a lot to get to that point. I’m hoping it doesn’t with my MIL but she does sometimes act possessive of my baby and tries to practically push me out the room when I check on them. I’m understanding if her just missing having a baby around but she just needs to stop crossing boundaries and brushing off our advice when it’s our child
