Obsessed MIL

How do I get my partner to feel the same way I do? His mother had wiped my daughters butt raw twice now and he always gets mad because I will snatch my child from her. Another thing that bothers me is her taking pictures with my baby and posting them saying “her baby.” Everyone but me sees no problem with it but she loves to try and tell me what to do with my child while also telling me my child belongs to her. I get he loves his mom and all but it’s disrespectful and weird to a certain degree. He got mad at me because i snatched my baby from her and now doesn’t wanna do what he’s supposed to do. It’s getting old and he won’t listen to my reasons of why.

Girl wth! Are u saying she whipped ur daughter?? That’s insane I would be throwing hands fasho. Your MIL is over stepping her boundaries if u don’t live with her then definitely see her less. Honestly if it were me I would just make a scene every time I know some people don’t have the energy for that but to protect my baby I do! Ur husband is just not getting it I’m sure if a family member of yours was doing this he would be heated.

Yeah no I’d be pissed to, especially with the pictures and how she sees herself as superior to you probably due to “age and experience”. You’re definitely not in the wrong but your s/o needs to grow a backbone before you lose your filter. I’m about at it with my MIL as well and my s/o has no backbone whatsoever with his family, so I feel you.

@Justine no she’s never hit her. my spelling probably off. she changed her diaper and when i got her back. my babys butt was really red and when i would go to clean her i had to just tap it a little. i think in his eyes his family can do no wrong. they will tell me to do things their way but her doctor said no. i always hear “you have to do this and that.” but its my child. he will say “they are just trying to help.” but will call me stupid because im not listening to them.

@Kloey anytime i say anything to him he will brush it off and say “they are just trying to help.” or “it’s getting old. that happened a while ago.” when it happened this month and last month. all i want is her to apologize to my child for hurting her and she cant even do that. not to mention she’s always trying to kiss her. my grandma doesn’t even kiss her and shes way older than his mom. my family doesn’t even tell me how to be a parent like his mom does. they will correct certain things but they dont try to tell me that everything im doing is wrong. it’s so tiring and frustrating with him not listening to my feelings or concerns about our child. its starting to make me question a whole bunch of things.

@KeKe oh okay yeah I see. He shouldn’t be saying all that his family aren’t medical professionals

@Justine my words exactly but im tired of trying to talk about it and he thinks its an argument. i just wont speak about it.

@KeKe it sounds like she’s trying to raise your kid like it’s hers. Kind of giving off the weird vibes you get from those TikTok ‘boy moms’ (if you know what I mean). His family sounds like they have entitlement issues and a stick up their rears…

@Kloey i don’t see why. she raised two boys. i get she’s excited to have a granddaughter but she will tell other people my child is like her child. its weird. in the same conversation shes the mom and grandma.

@KeKe yeah that’s not normal. I don’t know why some people are like that either. I’d say something now and set some boundaries and let them know what will happen if they don’t listen. If not it’ll only cause more stress and irritation, it’s not only weird but it’s also disrespectful, then again when it comes to that stuff I don’t really have a filter either.

@Kloey yeah i have but sometimes she will get drunk and try to snatch my baby from me or demand me to hand over my kid. ive told him how i feel about it and he will say im in the wrong for not listening. as if its her and his baby. if they thinking like that, them two could have had a baby together. no one is stopping them.

@KeKe 😀😬ew, you have me feeling irritated for you. He needs to pick a side of the fence he wants to defend. So far he’s defending the wrong one, the fact that y’alls kid and you don’t mean more in the sense that it’s a new branch of the family that’s a major issue
