anxious

Lol I know this is kind of silly but my grandmother in law makes me anxious. lately my anxiety has been through the roof and my son is 11 months old he is well versed with finger foods never choked I know exactly what to give him how big or how small. I live with my grandmother in law and I know she thinks she's helping she means so well and I love her to pieces but it drives me nuts and gives me slight anxiety when I'm feeding my son. she hovers in the kitchen my guess is to keep an eye on what I feed him because me and her don't exactly agree on parenting styles lol. anyway the moment I love my feet to get him soemthing else to eat she swoops in the seat and sits there stares at him in the eyes and says chew after every single bite and when he goes to pick up another piece she takes it away quickly to make sure every little crumb was swallowed and when I put food on his tray I know how big of pieces to put down she immediately sees it and rips them up even smaller. I'm pretty sure my son doesn't know what chew means because when she says it she doesn't show him how to chew even though he is a pro at chewing lol. my grandmother in law is someone who firmly believes he shouldnt have finger foods until hes 2 thats what she did with her kids she mushed everything up so i understand why she does it and shes not nessarly wrong for thiinking the way she does but i dont agree with it and he is my son. shes such a kind hearted woman she will literally give up everything for someone she loves or is close to but she is so stubborn and has sevear selective hearing lol my husband and i tried talking to her about it so many times but it literally goes in one ear and out the othet. so I don't know why but I get anxious when I feed him because the hovering and every time I hear chew come out if her mouth while he's eating I almost have a panic attack lol I know it sounds silly like why is something so small as that getting to you so much but my nerves are so shot lately and I honestly have no clue why it gets to me so much.
