She called my 2 month old a gremlin
My best friend of 9 years came over for the weekend to meet my 2 month old daughter leah. It was exciting until she made comments and tried to be in control of my daughter. I live with my parents at the moment i have a full basement with my own room for me and my daughter. I sleep upstairs in my nieces room with my daughter because its easier. Well when she came over she wanted me to sleep in my room with her. I was debating it but after a while i got upset because my baby kept crying and she seemed annoyed like rolling her eyes. It was to the point where i didnt want her alone with my daughter. I ended up sleeping upstairs with my baby because it was just easier. Some of the comments she said to my baby was "who are you getting loud with i know it aint me you can get crazy with your mom but not me." I kept telling her you realize she is a baby. She stayed in the basement most of saturday on her phone and i was with my baby by myself just chilling. Saturday morning i was holding my daughter and she was like "you look like a gremlin & so what i said it" she said this very firm and i was fuming i blacked out and seen red. After i wanted her to go home so badly so the following morning i took her home. I have not responded to her text and i just kind of distanced myself. I dont even want to be her friend anymore. She seems like she is going to try and be controlling to my child & i will be dammed. I was orignially going to have her be her god mother but seeing how she was with her last weekend makes me feel she will think she will overstep her bounderies. She will always treat me like i dont know what im doing and i got so fed up because when i first had my daughter i sent her a photo and my daughter happen to be in the background on the bed sleeping and she said "uh uh do not be sleeping with her in the bed" but she said it very rudely well as if she was my elder, i finally stood my ground and said i know you mean well but do not tell me how to parent. The thing was i was letting my daughter sleep while i was looking at her while eating a sandwhich.
I know she has been wanting a baby herself. Could it be a sign of jealousy? Or is it because she knows i hate to stand up for myself? Im trying to understand but either way i dont want her around my child anymore. I feel there is no need to be friends with her if i cant trust her around my child. I feel like one day i will end up snapping if she tries to disciplin her.
