Needy MIL
So my boyfriends mother is a really great person. She's sweet and old fashioned and giving. She wants to give our daughter the world.
But she's handicapped (cerebral palsy, diabetes, and she's blind). She can walk but basically refuses unless someone makes her in order to get exercise. The hospital basically says she's cutting her life drastically by not being active.
She wants us to bring the baby over all the time. I understand she loves her but I'm not even two weeks pp and we've been over there at least six times. She calls everyday asking for us to bring Kaia over.
She has 7 dogs which she keeps off of the baby (for now). BUT they jump all over me. She's super religious and says how she's going to bring the baby to church (which I'm against because we're different religions so either my daughter goes with us, or not at all until she's old enough to decide on her own). She's against some of my parenting choices (no cereal, baby led weaning, etc). And she just tends to make things uncomfortable for me. I've always been a very private person and there's very few people I want to talk to openly about my nipples and my vagina. Lol
I'm not sure how to bring all this up to my boyfriend but I want to make sure I'm not being an over sensitive bitch. Am I being too harsh? Is it selfish of me to want to be home some days (especially since I'm still not able to go to the bathroom without my squirt bottle and I'm still using pads and such)? I also want to use what little energy I have to catch up on the mound of laundry I have and the dishes that I need to do.
