I wanted help, my Mil's thoughts are stressing me out.

She is a different person in front of my husband and once he has left for office she is so cunning and very cruel. She will be so happy caring in front of him. But otherwise in his absence won't even talk to me, if she does she will only find ways to point out my mistakes.

When I ask her if she needs help or if there are any chores I can do she says no, once I get on with my own activities she will start cooking (only so that she can be praised) or she starts doing certain chores and will brag about it to my husband when he is back. This makes me look irresponsible, unhelpful and negligent.

Even with the baby in his presence she will be so nice and praising her but in his absence will tell me all things wrong about her. I mean Cmon baby is so innocent.

Also to top it off, when my sister in law leaves the niece at our home, she speaks so highly of both of them only to make me mad as she never does that for us. How discriminating.

She pretends to take care of her but when my husband is gone to work she won't even look at her.

It scares me to wonder, when I go back to work, she won't look after my child well coz she gets mad and has no patience these days with the baby.

I can't tell this to my husband as he thinks I am the bad guy, complaining and then his mother has this nice image for his entire life, it's unbelievable for him.

I am caught up in very negative thoughts. No matter how much I try I am not able to stop giving a damn and be optimistic
