Does this sound rude /mean to MIL?
The first texts, we just recently started weaning our son from his pacifier and to this point, whenever I talked about weaning the pacifier previously she would tell me how she let her kids have theirs until they were almost 2yrs old.
She also constantly tries to get my daughter to nap, she naps maybe 2-3 times a day(20-60mins), if any of her naps are under an hour she will try to make my daughter nap again.
So my MIL watched our kids yesterday because my husband and I both worked. We appreciate her.
When she visits us she constantly jokes about giving my twin babies junk food, like fries, and she even held a peanut to my sons mouth saying she was just letting him smell it. She makes comments about me feeding them veggies/fruit (about how nasty they are), I find it very disrespectful. When she is visiting and eating she keeps her snacks JUST out of reach from the kids , almost like she wants them to “accidentally” get her food. My husband insists that she is joking about the veggie stuff and would never feed our kids anything. These are the texts I sent her yesterday. My husband said she got very upset and said “what does she think I’m just gonna feed them anything?!”. My husband explained that I’m just a little insecure because she jokes about feeding them all the time.
The other reason I don’t want her feeding them yet, is because she isnt CPR certified and I want her to be before she feeds them.
Also, I can be a little straightforward/blunt it’s just my personality, so This is me being straightforward but trying to be nice. Am I wrong? Would you be the same way?
