Okay I'm ranting again about my MIL....I'm seriously to the end of my rope...
Okay I'm ranting again about my MIL....I'm seriously to the end of my rope...
So my whole family hunts, and come Labor Day weekend we are going camping. Well my husband's step dad just got into hunting so my family invited him and my MIL to come out and go camping. Now my MIL doesn't like that her son hunts, or that her grandchildren will be raised to hunt. (Note: She thinks I force my husband to hunt and that I changed him and so forth). Well Ryan (husband's step dad) already had that weekend off and is planning on coming out whether or not Kim (MIL) can get the time off. Well that pissed Kim off and now she's trying to get us to fly out to Vegas that weekend and Shawn (husband) has told her no. So now Kim is saying we don't want her in Ivy's life and that Ivy is going to be a monster like her mother. (Note: so she wouldn't be hunting. She'd be at the camper watching Ivy and pretty much spending all day with Ivy.)
Anyways she expects us to try really hard to get time off every month and go out to Vegas, but yet she won't lift a finger to try and come out to Colorado. I mean both shawn and I have full time jobs we can't just be taking time off every month.
Oh and then the last week of August my mom, dad, Ivy, and I are going to take my sister to college in Utah. Well that same weekend Shawn's cousin is getting married so Kim is coming out for that. Well she is calling me selfish and lazy because I 'won't' pump so I can leave Ivy with her father. Okay it's not that I don't want to pump, it's that first off Ivy eats way to much and so even if I did pump there wouldn't be enough for me to leave her for the 4 days we are leaving. Now it doesn't help the shawn told her that I have a stash of 3 milk storage bags that I'm saving for hunting season. (Note: it took my a month to fill all three bags)
I guess I'm asking for advice because I'm about to blow up and that's not going to help anything. Plus shawn won't grow a pair and stand up to his mother.

You need to blow up on him and force him to set his mom straight all the names she's calling you is uncalled for! He needs to demand that his mother respect you and your position as a mother who wants to leave a fully breastfed baby for four days milk stash or not who wants to leave their new baby for that long smh.

Exactly!!! I've told him multiple times and he's like i don't want to hurt her feelings and blah blah blah. Okay well when I snap and blow up on her, your going to wish you'd stood up for me. Also I don't want to leave her that long.
