@icebergahead, yes, when I first met mine I was literally already thinking yeah she don’t like me because everything that I told her not to do when my daughter was a baby she would try to do it anyway to the point where she would even try to convince her son to do it behind my back and I’m sitting here like wtf ! Then called him disrespectful claiming this generation think when they are grown and have their own kids they don’t have to listen to their old school parents like WHUUUT
@teresha_h, ohhh. There is nothing wrong with hearing out opinions and advise from parents but if they force and demand you on how to parent, that is out of line.
@icebergahead, Exactly what I said. The issue was the milk my daughter was getting 😒 and now that she’s almost 4 she’s just now realizing why my daughter can’t have dairy after sending videos to her of what happens when she eats the stuff she gives her knowing they have cows milk in it. It’s crazy it really is
How old are you both? How long have you been together? Every marriage has its hardships and every Mil has her time for shenanigans before she either A. Gets put in her place by her son B. All heck breaks lose because Dil goes off like a bomb. C. Dil walks Way bc she is done.
I hope for you A. will be the path taken. But for that to happen you and DH have to come to an understanding of what you mean to one another, what you have to lose by having her interfere, why her dislike for you crosses the line to disrespect and what you are both willing to compromise on. He has to be the one to stand up or it will just cause bigger problems. Some families, especially depending on culture, birth order, age, etc take longer than others to get to where the marriage comes first and not the mother. Been there and still dealing with mil issues but for us, we know we come first and we set the boundaries, stick together no matter what. Sometimes we still have upsets but that's life. We walk together not against one another. Hope you get to that place of peace soon.
That's a real ahole thing to say. :( Like she doesn't want to have a relationship with her grandchild, just going through the motions out of respect for her son. I can't stand people who take things out on kids.
