My mom takes the cake...again!!!
This may sound like a spoiled brat post , so let me try to explain. My mom is very controlling. Very manipulative, but the worst part is she can also be very nice as long as she's getting her way! I am having the first girl in the family, she has five grandsons two of which are my kids. She's not a good grandma, More into herself and her own life than my kids. She almost never helps with them.
Now that I'm having a girl, she mentioned she wanted to get the baby's dedication dress for church handmade. I specifically told her to please show me pictures before she did anything because I wanted to make sure I liked it. This was over 2 weeks ago. Keep in mind yes this is special for her but this is my baby! So today she calls me and says she has the ball rolling and has some family in South America crocheting a white dress and hat for the baby. I reminded her that I asked her to show me a picture because I don't want to disappoint her if I don't like it and don't put it on my baby! She doesn't care, she does what she wants. But I put it out there and I told her I didn't want my baby wearing a crocheted outfit or a hat.. I already had envisioned in my mind what I wanted for her and that if she got it, it probably wouldn't be used but I would take a few pictures of the baby in it for her sake. For me the kicker is that she used my dead grandma against me. My grandma just died and she and I were very close. My mom said I know this is what grandma would have wanted and what she would have had made for the baby! That is where I got super pissed. I think that's what has me not even wanting the stupid outfit because it's her way of manipulating me. Or at least trying.
How would you guys handle it? I know I'm probably overreacting, but if you knew her you would know I was so upset.
