Good afternoon ladies & Happy Valentine’s Day 🥰

This is my first post so I’m new to this whole thing and it’s kind of just to vent but also looking for advice on how to handle this as well...

My boyfriend and I just had our first baby.. she will be 3 weeks old on Sunday and we’re both absolutely in love and blessed. But his mother just seems to be so overbearing at times... she used to be a NICU nurse so she’s got the mentality that she knows everything about babies which can come in handy but she’s also super annoying about it and feels the need to remind us all the time. When my daughter was in the hospital she always had a comment to make about the way the nurses did things. Even before my daughter was born she always wants to be in our business which my boyfriend has told her numerous times to stay out but she doesn’t listen. I feel like she’s always telling me what to do with my baby and how to do things and I can’t stand it because she’s my daughter, not hers. I breastfeed my daughter and when people are around I will feed her a bottle that I have already pumped and his mother will always tell me to put her on my breast and she refused to leave the delivery room when I was having my daughter (which she was never suppose to be in there in the first place... she said she just came in to say hi and see how I was doing and when it was time to push and my boyfriend was telling her to leave she didn’t want to). She doesn’t understand that it makes me feel uncomfortable for her to around when I would be at doctors appointments and they are doing a vaginal exam, or in the delivery room, and even pulling my breast out to feed my daughter around people (although i know it’s normal I’m just new to all of this) she thinks because she is a nurse that it doesn’t matter but I’m not comfortable with my boyfriends mother seeing me in situations like that. My own mother doesn’t even do this to me. I know it’s her first grandchild so she’s excited and I understand that but she texted me yesterday asking to babysit this weekend so my boyfriend and I could do something. Don’t get me wrong I totally appreciate the offer but it’s not like we had plans to do something and I don’t really want to leave my daughter alone with anyone yet anyway, but she keeps mentioning it making me feel like I have to do something saying she’s “the best babysitter there is.” I told her she’s more then welcome to come see the baby this weekend but that I was not going out anywhere and would be home. I guess I’m just looking for some way for her to understand how overbearing she is and how frustrating and uncomfortable it is for me. My boyfriend and I have both told her before my daughter was born that she needs to back off (she tracks my boyfriends location on his phone), so it’s not like she doesn’t know she’s doing it but now that my daughter is born she acts like this even more.

Any advice would be appreciated 💕

I have a very overbearing MIL. So I know how you feel and all I can say is this is your baby, not hers. Do not let her influence your decisions or make you feel like you have to let her have her way. She doesn’t need to be babysitting your newborn. My MIL was making plans to babysit and have a room at her house for my baby when I was only a month pregnant. And she’s not babysitting and never has. You are the mom, not her. She sounds controlling and entitled. If you have any more kids you need to tell the nurses who you want in the delivery room and who is not allowed. That’s so wrong she ruined your birthing experience. I’m sorry you have to go through all this but stand your ground and you will be fine. Tell her what’s what and always communicate with your boyfriend about how you feel about all this. Good luck!

Honestly you almost have a stalker right there. I would recommend you to talk with your bf about it and let him know how uncomfortable you are. Then if he doesn't talk with his mom about it, sit down with her and have a talk because she has to understand you need your space not only as a woman but as a new mom also. At the end of the day that's your child and you need to learn on your own how to take care of her.... Wish you luck and welcome to the app 😊

Girl tell her to back off or kick rocks.... that’s your baby don’t let anyone make u feel that way.. if she feel some type of way oh well she had her chance raising her own kid so now she needs to let you raise yours how ever the he’ll you please it’s that simple...

You need to have a heart to heart with your boyfriend to have a serious conversation with her. You just brought home baby, and your learning how to live with baby. He needs to tell her you guys appreciate the help, but you guys will call her when you guys need something. If you don’t say something now, it will only get worse as time goes on.

I’ve posted about my defiant toddler many times before but I’m really at a loss now. She deliberately disobeys. Like, she knows what “no” means and if she’s doing something she knows she’s not supposed to I can ask “do you want to go in timeout?” And she’ll answer “no” and SOMETIMES stop.. I can’t take her anywhere cause she refuses to listen. She runs wild, screams, throws tantrums etc. At home she’s just as bad and absolutely nothing I do or say helps. Timeout doesn’t work, hand poppings don’t work, a pop on the butt doesn’t work, I’ve tried getting down to her level and calmly explaining things or trying to make sure she knows that I understand her emotions and things like that but I’m not even kidding when I say nothing works with her. I’m constantly telling her no and even though she knows she’s going to get into trouble she will do it anyways and then cream this blood curdling scream when she does get in trouble. I’ve raided Pinterest for days, write everything down, tried everything I found... idk what else to do. Everyone keeps telling me it’s “terrible twos” or “she’s just strong willed” or that it’s normal for her age and all of that might be true but there’s gotta be some kind of something that will help me teach her to listen to me and such.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

Is anyone else in the stage where they’re kid likes to hit?? Today at the doctors my daughter smacked my face!! I grabbed her hand and said no! And she hit me with the other one!! 🤦🏻 ♀ 🤦🏻 ♀ I have no clue what else to do! She’s with my mom on the days I work and I think that’s the problem! My s.o tells me not to raise my voice. All I can do is cry!! I feel like she doesn’t want to listen. She knows the word” NO” sometimes she’ll even look at me while doing something. As soon as I say no. She’ll do it! I don’t hit her so that’s not a option and I don’t spank her! At her age I don’t think that’ll teach her much. And she doesn’t witness people hitting others in my home. Advice anyone ??
