i feel the same about everyone: my mom, my dad, my in-laws, my husband. 🙄 i hate them all.
anyone else hate their MIL since they gave birth?!
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?!?!

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.
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.

that's what I told her I told her I'm feeding her and she's gaining weight but she's like oh you can barely pump an ounce when you pump

As long as your baby is gaining weight I wouldn't worry what anyone thinks! When I pump the milk separates and there is a think layer of fat on top so I know baby boy is getting some nutrients plus he's becoming a little chunky monkey lol
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.

I couldn't even imagine that! You shouldn't have to deal with that and I know my boyfriend would tell his mum off if she said that to me 😰
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.

Seriously- every time she hold him and he gets fussy she's like you want Chee chees- u hungry? I'm like nope he's not he just wants me not you 😂

Oh geez!! 😳😳😳😳

Mine told me I probably need to add cereal because he was going thru a growth spurt and was feeding more frequently lately. Umm nope! He's 5 weeks old and gaining weight just fine and is satisfied with what he's getting from momma
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.
