Does anyone else get a little irked when family members don't take what you say about your children seriously?
My mother in law came by our home yesterday evening to stay with the babies so my husband & I could visit other family for a few hours (and not have our oldest up way past her bedtime!).
She asked me if the newborn needed a bath - I told her no, he had one this morning & he should be fine until I get home.
She jumped on me, saying 'He's been outside, and around other people all day - I'm giving him one!' Like oookkay, chill out there. A) I said no he didn't need one, so why did you even bother to ask if you had your own answer already? And b) It's not as though I was leaving him dirty for weeks on end. I was just trying to save her the trouble of having to give him one while I was gone.
It's not the first time she's commented on things that I've tried to brush off, so maybe I am just getting too sensitive to it 🙄🙄 just needed to vent!
@caitv123 the father of my daughter family don't even try it I let them know from the beginning what it is
@jasminemoody1386, exactly! I love the extended family to death - but it's hard to keep being respectful when you usurp my authority in my own house 😪 lord have mercy.
It's ur mother in law, enough said
