Coping with other ideas..

So my MIL is very open about her opinions. Like all. The. Time! I love her dearly and value her opinions when I ask for them. However.. she has been making side comments about how i bought too many baby outfits (in total i have gotten 2 sleepers. 4 new born onsies, 6 0-3mo onsies, and 3 pairs of 0-3 leggings) saying things like stop wasting your money cause other people will buy you clothes too. Which I get that, but I'm still mom and I can get things if I want to..

I also showed her that I got this fabric to sew a blanket. She rolled her eyes and said you dont need to do that you will be getting blankets left and right. I understand that too, but I wanted something special that I made for my baby.

I am just having such a hard time because I've brought up in conversation items I would like/dislike after my experience working with infants at a daycare for 6 years.. and she could care less what I have suggested as a 'please dont do!' She keeps saying things along the lines of how her children survived and they are fine.

I'm not asking her to spend any money on any of the items I've talked to her about. My husband and I have so far provided her with basic baby furniture that she would need. We have told her we would do this and it was because we wanted the items to be safe if she would babysit. I just dont know how to cope with these feelings when I feel like she is putting me down..

I should add, this is the first grandbaby.
