Who’s the crazy one: ME or my MIL?

So my MILs aunt, who lives overseas, bought us a bedding set for the crib off my registry and had it shipped to my MILs house. With the baby shower cancelled, the aunt told the MIL to give me the set now. It’s practically the last thing needed for the nursery to be done.

Well...I sent a progress pic of the nursery to my MIL today and she asked when I wanted to pick up the bedding set. I wrote her back and literally told her her son was on his way to their house anyway so to just send it back with him. You know what she said?!

She said: No, you come get it. You need to get out of the house. We don’t have Covid.

🤯🤬

I reacted with the “haha” to her message. Truth is, my anxiety kicked in today and it’s been on my mind since it happened. Btw, this is the same woman who forced herself on me after I refused to hug her due to the current pandemic. Her response? She’s extra “cautious” and I have nothing to worry about.

I’ve talked to my husband and he agrees that she crossed the line, but doesn’t want me taking it personally. Anyway, just looking for some reassurance that I’m not overreacting and that it’s not my hormones.

For anyone wondering, she never did send the bedding set with hubs. 🤦‍♀️ I’m thinking about buying one myself and posting nursery update pics on social media. Yup, petty. Idc 🤷‍♀️

She’s a miserable bitch. The bedding set is for BABY not for you. It’s not even a gift from her to decide what should or should not be done with it.

Tell your husband to go get the damn bedset lol... which he should have done in the first place. She doesn't know if she has it or not unless she has been tested, but even then its not 100%, there are people with NO SYMPTOMS... that is why this is such a problem!!🤦‍♀️😳

That's the sort of person that'll kiss your baby and complain when you ask her to wash her hands before holding baby 😷 I'd be keeping a close eye on that woman with my child.

If your husband is going over there and then coming home, you’re already exposed to getting it if she does. But she shouldn’t be so petty about it.

That's exactly what id do! Just get your own bedding set and forget about that one I'm sorry but just because they're careful doesnt mean they have a right to force you to do any thing. This is a pandemic and EVERYONE needs to be as cautious as possible and not make uncesseary contact. Especially high risk groups which includes pregnant women

She’s definitely crossing lines and I personally wouldn’t accept anything from her

It's silly of her to hold linen hostage. If he's already going to be there, it only makes sense he bring it home with him.If she's worried your anxiety is preventing you from leaving the house, she could equally suggest you and your husband go on a pretty ride in the car for fresh air and sunshine.
