⚠️ Rant Ahead
So I have a helicopter grandmother. When I say helicopter, I mean, grilling me every single day about what my son ate, what time he went to bed, how long he napped for, etc. I get annoyed but I give her vague responses just because she leaves me alone afterwards. Lately, my boy has been teething again, so his shirt or bib gets wet. I try to change his shirt when it gets too bad... but you guys, I’m not perfect. He’s having dinner in his high chair and I’m making mine.. she comes in (my husband and I live in a duplex together with her and it’s hell. We are moving soon though so I guess I’ll grin and bear it till then) anyways, she comes it, and without saying a word to me, she says to my son, “Oh my god you are sopping wet, you are going to get a nasty cold and your mama is going to feel very bad that she let you wear a wet shirt. Tell your mama to get you in a nice dry shirt and maybe pick up the house a little bit.”

Listen, I have much respect for my elders (to a point) and I try to let it slide, but I feel like I’m going to end up on Snapped if she keeps coming at me like this. My mother said that she used to do it to her when I was a baby and I’m about to lose my friggen mind. I’ve had sit down conversations about it with my grandma, but she refuses to listen because “she’s been a mother longer” 🙄🙄🙄
Yes, I’m aware.
The point of this post is to ask you all if anyone has ever talked to your children, completely ignored you, but talked THROUGH your children to you.

Like, I’M RIGHT HERE!! You can take your issues up with me, not my 1 year old that has no idea what you’re talking about.
I’ve decided not to talk about it with my husband, because I don’t want to start unnecessary drama.
Anyone else with this issue? Anyone know what I can do? Or am I just going to have to face the facts and deal with it until I move in some odd months? Should I involve my husband? She makes me feel like a crappy mother.
