I know I am being totally unreasonable but my bloody MIL
I just can't help getting more and more irritated by my MIL. I know that she does not mean any harm but she really does get on my t*ts!!
She keeps refering to our son as her baby boy. I have to bite my tongue to stop myself from say "he is MY baby not yours". She constantly says things like "what are they (us) doing to you" and "come to nanna, i can stop you from crying" (when she blatently can't. She buys totally unsuitable toys for him and keeps turning up with second hand stuff from the charity shop! Now, I have nothing against charity shops or second havd things so long as I know where they have come from, probably totally unreasonable, but I can't help it, I have a bit of cleanliness OCD.
She tells me that my son looks nothing like me and only like his dad. She passes him round like a parcel to anyone and everyone. Even my OH is getting fed up of it!
I could go on but don't want to sound like a total lunatic.
No need to reply just wanted to vent my woes!!

We have the "give me my baby" as we walk in the door.
"what has she dressed you in today"
"you can leave her here next week" !!! like bloody hell.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"give me my baby" your son is right behind us.
"what has she dressed you in today" clothes
"you can leave her here next week" great. your boobs are producing milk though right?
"Don't let him get fat" !!!??? Okay I'll put my perfectly healthy 4 month old baby on a diet
"He needs a drink give him water" - this she repeats every 2 minutes.
"Babies should be sleeping through the night by 1 month old, you are spoiling him."
"Don't pick him up all the time when he cries else he will get whiny, I hate whiny babies"
Oh there's so many more but I won't bore you all! Sorry to change from MIL's ...
'Don't leave the baby in the car when you go into Mothercare, you shouold take her in with you'
What the f**k!?!? You are actually telling me this as if I would otherwise have done just that???
I also think you need to have it out with her (I am with mine this weekend!) and tell her how you feel about certain things.
