Okay so I LOVE my mother in law. Seriously love! We are like mother and daughter. We've even been mistaken for mother and daughter because we have similar features. Anyway ever since my son was born I've felt a little possessive over my son. She is a first time grandma so she's very much obsessed with him..as she should be. But it's made me almost feel the need to mark my territory ( not literally lol 😂) so I guess mama bear is coming out. Like for example I want to hold him all the time, and don't really want to leave him and let her or anyone babysit. My logic is that I fear him loving another maternal figure more than mom. I know that's silly and at the same time probably a common ftm worry. Although she has shared multiple things on Facebook that are like "if mom says no nana will say yes", " grandchildren get their awesomeness from grandma" and things of that nature, so i just feel a little intentionally threatened. Now I do of course share him with her and I have let her babysit once already but I just feel like I have to tighten the reigns sometimes as not to lose my bond with him, especially since he's still a newborn technically--this is crucial bonding time. Also lately I've been a little bothered with remarks that he looks just like dad...and ONLY bothered by that because grandma seems to only acknowledge that comment, not the remarks that he looks just like me! (He's an even mix so far, so it's really a toss up.) Well to add to THAT frustration twice now people have said that he looks just like HER, grandma. (Keep in mind I told you we kinda look alike so maybe that's where it comes from..and then again I think these people are just brown nosing---he doesn't look like her at all--nothing obvious anyway) That's where I was like "oooookay, no" that's enough and I just left a response (it was on Facebook) that said " I think he looks half like me, half like his dad" I didn't wanna be mean but needed to stand up for my feelings finally. Has anyone gone through this???? Did it pass? Did you have to talk to them about it? Maybe postpartum hormones are playing a huge role, but I'm so sad about feeling all these emotions.
