I need advice on how to deal with father in law.... iv been keeping my LO home and at my mothers who babysits while I work. I havent taken her out anywhere else. Well my mom post pictures of my daughter with my brother who still lives at home and with my father.. my father in law then messages my husband saying it's not fair that they get to see her and he has to miss her growing up. I'm so angry and frustrated I'm not sure how to handle the situation

Interesting. Maybe he's tired of just getting photos. People like interaction. I would try Skype or maybe have her make him something for grandparents day or father's day. If you don't want to do it personally have your husband do it. If he's asking habitually he clearly wants a relationship...most men wouldn't go out of their way if they didn't care

@massgirl photos are all I can do. I'm am a healthcare worker my daughter is basically living with my mother at this point , I dont even get to see her but just a few times a week. Its absolutely ridiculous that he is demanding more from me when I'm not even getting full time with my daughter. In my opinion he is acting like a selfish child

@farahcrawley idk I see you're point but he's probably frustrated because he's either used to seeing your daughter more or this is the breaking point because he doesn't see your daughter enough pre pandemic. I'm going to guess from your defensiveness that it's been going on a while so at this point block him or just kill him with kindness and go out of your way to make him feel like a grandparent too...or have your husband keep up with the relationship

Can you Skype with them regularly. I understand your point of view because of the pandemic but maybe make up for it by video chatting and sending him pictures regularly. My daughter usually sees my mom regularly and hasn't seen her in weeks but we Skype and I send plenty of pictures to make up for it. My daughter even drew some pictures and sent them in the mail and my mother was beyond thrilled.

I'm not understanding why you're angry and frustrated with him being upset about not being able to see his grandchild while the other grandparents get to. He's allowed his feelings.

It takes a simple text "They babysit while we work" there's nothing to handle.

@farahcrawley and there we go. You finally admit what he's saying is true.
Be mad at yourself if anything. Can't get upset when people call you out in what's clearly true.

@farahcrawley then deal with him being upset. You're the one causing the issues. Can't be upset over it when you're the whole cause of the issue.
