MIL trouble, anyone else? (LONG RANT)
Does anyone else have just a terrible mother in law? Like every single thing you say/do is wrong and they just won't accept you into the family? I'm eleven days from giving birth. ELEVEN. I'm stressed, I'm hormonal, I'm trying to make everything perfect for when our sweet girl gets here so of course one thing I had to prepare was making sure family and friends knew when we wanted visitors. We decided on a 24 hour period. This allows me and my husband to get to spend time with our baby alone, it lets me kind of get the hang of breastfeeding and honestly who wants a bunch of visitors after just pushing a baby out of their vag? My husband also CANT take off work. He gets one night. So that 24 hours is seriously precious to us. Well, we told ALL our family and friends this and the only person who threw a fit (and I mean a serious fit) was his mother. Saying we can't keep her granddaughter away from her and how f-info selfish I am for wanting to when she can literally just come the next day like everyone else. I called her to calm everything out and she ended up apologizing and saying she agreed with me. Wellllll after that we went to his grandparents house and his grandma just happened to slip up and call me chubby. I didn't say anything or act rude towards her, but I am hormonal and cried when we got home. I knew she probably didn't mean anything by it, most grandmas don't think. Well we went by there again today and while I was in the next room my husband asked her not to comment on how I looked or my body because he HATES seeing me sad (I didn't ask him to say anything) and his grandma called his mom later on and told her which shouldn't be a big deal but of course it was. She texted my husband and said I was a f-ing baby and it's stupid that they all have to watch what they say around me and that I offended her on the phone the other day and she was mad he didn't stand up for her. Let me also add that my mother in law didn't raise my husband. She kept his child support check while he lived with his grandparents. I've had issues with her since day 1 and I've been with my husband for 5 years. I've tried bonding with her, hanging around their family more often, trying to find things we both like, why am I still treated this way? So I've officially given up. DOES ANYONE WANT TO TRADE MOTHER IN LAWS???
