I just need to vent here as I can’t really talk to someone right now. My newborn is a month old and she likes to sleep on my hands, and every time I have her on me, my MIL keeps saying that I shouldn’t let her get used to it. It’s frustrating me to hear her trying to teach me how to be the “perfect” mother. I have tried to explain her that I can’t just put the baby in the bassinet and walk away because she cries her lungs out and newborns do not know how to sooth themselves at that age and they need a little help with soothing. My MIL does not even know how to use a debit card, can’t drive anywhere else except her work, doesn’t know how to use a phone, doesn’t know the difference of coins and the list goes on... but she is trying to teach me how to mother my child. I am not able to do cleaning and cooking at home, and last night she told me that she would cook, clean, even do her make up and still take care of the baby, and I told her that she had a servant at home who would help you with that, and she told me that she is my servant too because I don’t do anything and she does. This 45 years old woman who has a brain of 5 years old, and she loves her dog more than her grandchild is always finding a reason to tell me about my “wrong” doings and teach me how to be a mother..me and my husband will buy a house in 2 months and move out, but honestly it has been the worst year of my life living with her..
