anyone else hate their MIL since they gave birth?!

Question

So my MIL and I usually get along well... But since my little guy arrived I don't want her anywhere near my house! I'm assuming it's just the hormones, but every little bit of "advice" she has I tend to take offensively, although logically I know she doesn't mean it!  I've tried explaining it to my husband, but he just doesn't understand... And tends to get defensive of her. When she comes over I just want to take my little man and go to our bedroom to hide out!!!! 😒 anyone on their 2nd or more baby who can tell me when his feeling goes away?!?!

Answer

i feel the same about everyone: my mom, my dad, my in-laws, my husband. 🙄 i hate them all.

Answer

That's so weird. I thought I was the only one who has felt this way...

Answer

So glad I'm not the only one. I was starting to think I was going crazy. Lol

Answer

Same!!  My MIL wouldn't hand my baby back over to me yesterday when I knew he was hungry. She just kept saying (to him), "Grandma is going to sooth you."  She bought a crib for her house and a car seat base for her car on her own. I'm like, ummmm no need for that. He's not going to be at your house often enough to need his own crib....ugh. GO AWAY.

Answer

Me too I love my mother-in-law loved dearly but she totally made me cry for at least an hour and to think I was not producing enough milk and I'm starving my baby made me feel like less of a woman who can't feed my child.

Answer

I'm feeling the exact same way....my MIL always makes me feel like I'm doing enough for my baby. Telling me that I'm not producing enough milk and I'm starving my baby and has even gone as far as taking the baby from while I was trying to breast feed (first time mom) it was my first night home and told me I didn't know what I was doing. Both times she made me feel so crampy about myself and my ability to parent that I was in tears and didn't want to even hold my baby. My husband has been supportive of me at least and always talks me back up which I appreciate.

Answer

My favorite is when every time she holds our baby she thinks she's hungry.  I mean...I breastfeed, this is my third child, and I can pick up on when she ate last and decide that she needs comforted rather than fed.

Answer

I actually like my MIL just hate her perfume stays all over baby lol 😒

Answer

This is exactly what happened to me when my son was born!! Although my in-laws showed up at the hospital when I was in labor and waited in the waiting room (I think my MIL wanted to be in the delivery room, luckily my mom told her that it should just be my husband and I).

They also kept showing up unannounced at the hospital and I just felt like I had to entertain them while they were there. And when I would say that my son was hungry, hinting that they should leave so I could feed him and do skin to skin, they wouldn't leave!! I'm not about to go topless in front of my FIL.

They went back home when I left the hospital (they live out of state) and it was such a relief. My husband understands that they drain energy from me, and that I was extremely hormonal. I'm 2 weeks pp and feel much better about them again.

Answer

My mother in law hasn't seen my first son in 4 years and has never met my new baby who I had in August. And she lives 30 min away
