Anyone else have Mother-in-law issues since the baby arrived? I dread every phone call and every time she asks to come…

So good to know I'm not alone! @wes.nation I'm right there with you. I hate it when she holds him and calls him hers. But it doesn't bother me with my mom at all. But my mother in law has always been convinced that I took her son from her and she's super jealous that my husband is focused on me and his son rather than always checking up on her.

I do that to my baby brother. I constantly am like "my little man" and my mom doesn't seem to notice. Although it is biologically my mother and brother. But I think it probably bothers you more because like you said you don't like her. My mom does it to my daughter and she isn't here yet. "My baby" constantly. I don't mind. Although this is the first grandbaby for both of our families so I understand everyone is excited. His family hasn't said "my" yet but I assume they will. His grandma has me call her mima. So they are also very close-knit. I would be upset if I was being told I was doing everything wrong though and baby was being snatched away. That is disrespectful. But just remember it is her grandbaby so in a way it is also her angel:) try not to stress. My mom is extremely judgy so I'm sure she will tell me how wrong I am about everything as well. But if it really is getting to you definitely sit down and talk:)

My MIL is the same way and my son isn't even born yet... she's constantly saying "he's her shining star" "he's her everything", yet she planned to go to a casino the day after he's due for a concert and I could still be in labor the next day depending on when I go in.

Is it weird that I don't like my mil calling my baby hers or even touching her but love when my mom calls her her baby. My mil was a bitch to me since day one maybe that's why.

Dang.. I'm sorry your in that kind of situation. Thats pretty tough

ugh biggest pet peeve my mil always calls my daughter hers she's not even here yet and I'm so annoyed it's always oh my Natalie is getting so big ugh it's annoying!! to the point I won't respond to any of her messages cuz it annoys me so much ! she lives in Mexico now and supposedly is coming after my daughter is born and I really hope hot because I know she'll act like she's hers and she knows everything and everything will have to be her way

@izzysmommy1003, My husband and I talk about it and are on the same page, but the situation with his parents is different than what I'm used to so its hard to know what to do but let him handle it (which he doesn't do well). She's a "recovering" alcoholic who's very emotional immature and basically pitches fits when anyone says or does things she doesn't agree with or doesn't like. And my husband really wants her in his life, so he has to be the adult and basically just ignore the issue so that she doesn't do something stupid, like a get a 3rd DWI.

You need to talk to your SO about it and all talk. I'd be pretty irritated too. I even get mad when my dad asks "how's my baby doing" I say you mean MY son? Yeah he's doing great.

he is your baby not hers. good luck
