In law trouble

Carrie

I have a mother in law that is quite frankly getting on my nerves. I know she means well and loves her grand daughter but I’m getting to the point that when my husband suggests we go visit or tell them to visit I want to scream “fuck no”.

She gets very crabby to the point that she won’t talk if she’s not holding the baby. She gets mad even if her own husband is holding my daughter. And will become happy once she’s holding her again.

She’s talking non-stop baby talk. Shortening every possible word. Gas bubble-gas bubby. Diaper-didey. Hungry- hungy.

She will keep her away from me when my daughter is clearly hungry. She will walk around the house saying “what’s wrong lovey, oh my gosh you are so hungry”. I’m breast feeding and she didn’t so I feel like she absolutely hates this.

She has to take my daughter to change her diaper every time she comes over even though I just changed it.

She doesn’t wash her hands when she arrives but swears her hands are clean after she sticks her fingers in her mouth or kisses her on the lips. She’s also a smoker. I’m

Afraid to ask her to wash her hands in case she’s freaks out.

She thinks we want to keep our child in a bubble because we asked her why she wouldn’t get her flu shot to protect her granddaughter who is not old enough to get it. Ideally she would be the person who would watch her the most.

On Facebook everything is “that’s Grammys girl”, “nana loves you”. As if everyone didn’t know you were her grandmother.

I feel like she would prefer to be raising my daughter than me. Not because I’m doing a terrible job but because then she could do what she wants with her. She has clothes at her house that no longer fit her because I won’t let her spend the night. My daughter is 3 months old and I don’t feel comfortable leaving her yet. But all she wants to do is dress her up and do a fashion show. She even purchased an outfit for her but she wants to put it on at her house, she wont give it to me to do that at my home.

We had plans to have her come over and babysit at the end of the month so we could attend a concert but she accused us today of hating her and storming out of our house. I was already worried about what she would do once we left and I told her we had started sleep training and not to go in and pick her up without her crying (which meant she couldn’t hold her all bight) think I’ll just stay home and let the husband go. I can’t handle this Jealous grandma anymore
