My mother-in-law told me that my 5 mo. old DD kissed her cheek. She also said that she rubbed a soft blanket on her face. She has said that she was sitting in the floor in front of my DD when she was in her Jenny Jump Up. Mil reached out, and said "come to Gamma" and that DD giggled and took a few steps into her arms. She also said that DD reached out, stroked her face and said "awww".
Im a SAHM and i know my DD doesnt do any of that stuff. I just dont know why MIL would want me to think she does? I think she just wants to make me feel bad. She has already said that DD looks and acts more like her and me.
What does your MIL do that bugs you?
my MIL says that DH never watched tv as a kid. but DH remembers more cartoons than me....hmmm

My mil drives me nuts too....same deal but yet she sucked as a mom to her sons, tv was the babysitter and loves to play the hard life card, please we all have had our struggles, part of life...

My MIL was like that for a while too. It's kinda like they want to step into the Mom role and take over. VERY annoying.
Died ! I miss her and my sons never got to meet her. I wish so many days she was here to share with and enjoy.
She calls my son a "bastard child" & won't except him into that side of the family because she doesn't believe that it is dhs. Which she's completely wrong on both.
She makes remarks about me and my parenting.
She tells me my son is never going to be excepted by any of that family (which is true most likely because im not even).
Shall i continue? Or do you feel better about yours? Lol.
Quoting Anonymous:yes, yes i do, make me feel better about mine!

They were in town for DS's first bday party, and he had set a timer on our microwave for a pizza that was in the oven. DS was hungry, so I put a bottle of water in the microwave to warm and then use with his formula (I can't BF). As soon as I closed the door and moved to press buttons, he grabbed my wrist and snapped that I needed to wait until he was finished with the microwave. I wrenched my arm away from him and said "no, actually, I don't. Your timer can stay on at the same time.". He got all embarassed & didn't say anything.
When I was telling DH about it, I got to the part when he grabbed my wrist and he instantly said "did you hit him!?" He knows how I am lol

When my in-laws come to visit, they TAKE OVER our house! They stay with us for a few days at a time, and they'll invite people over, disrespect my husband, criticize every tiny detail of everything we own, and generally act like we're kids that couldn't POSSibly get by without them.
MIL tells me I'm "silly" for cloth diapering, FIL is constantly telling DH that nothing he does is good enough, and both nitpick our parenting, but not in a constructive or helpful way. Just scoffing at us and being judgmental.
My MIL says stuff like that. She would say my son gets his looks, brains, humor from her and so on. I now however just tell her what's on my mind. She didn't like it at first but now she admires it.
That's what your MIL thinks she's seeing because she loves her and is proud of your sweet little baby. Indulge her and just say aww how sweet she loves you so much. You're her momma and you know better but almost all MILs are annoying like that.
omg! thats crazy! i would hit my fil if he ever touched me like that. i kinda wish my mil would touch me like that so i could hit her!
