I hate complaining but I hate when Im out with my MIL and any time Emilia fusses she says she’s spoiled. Not only that but she wants to hold Emilia when she’s clearly reaching out to me thus making her cry even more.
If I were you as soon as she starts saying any comments like that I would calmly say she's not spoiled EVERY baby fusses and continue to pick her up and if she tries to hold your daughter say she clearly wants mama right now. Once she calms down then I would let her hold her. I hope you are able to set your foot down with her! I know it may be hard and awkward even but she's YOUR baby not hers, she needs to remember that!

@mariagtorresr2710, girl you dont even have to explain yourself. You do you and if she happens to ask then give it to her. Some MILs have serious boundary and respect issues
@mariagtorresr2710 @babeylarissa exactly you dont want your children to feel like they can get away with it at grandma's house. They will become ungrateful. My hubby's nephew is like that. Super duper ungrateful all he wants to play is video games. And tries to weasel video games from grandma when others tell him no
@lovefaithkindness, exactly!! @mariagtorresr2710, & dont listen to people that say "its the grandparents u have to let them see the kids" or "let them do what they want their the grandparents thats what their for to spoil them" NO u can cut off anybody from seeing ur kids!
@babeylarissa exactly she's the grandparent not the parent. And the parent over rules the grandparent. Like what discipline i force at home is what i expect to be forced at her home. (Which is time out). I hate being undermined with my kids. It is probably one of the things that will make me explode
@lovefaithkindness, yeah see thats good! but with my mil we've tried talking & arguing she just doesnt get it she says ok & then does it anyways so if shes not gonna listen shes not gonna see us or my daughter
@babeylarissa me and my mil are super close now but she knows how I feel and she knows if she over steps that I won't be taking my kids over there anymore. But weve been good after I snapped at her for overstepping
She obviously needs boundaries. And put in her place. She is your daughter. She isn't your mil daughter. She needs to take a step back I had to do the same thing with my mil
