[quote=Anonymous]MIL has met DD once for a 3 day visit yet thinks she is an authority on my baby.

She goes out of her way to say crap that is laced with judgement and just rude. I felt bad they haven't been able to spend more time with DD so I send photos all of time to the family chat. They have said they appreciate it and it helps them feel involved but now they just nitpick every damn thing. I have stopped sending photos and told DH he can send his parents photos from now on. Knowing well he just won't unless asked.

Sent a photo of baby contact napping and MIL response was oh finally she gets some freedom. She has made it clear she thinks swaddling is evil and inhumane.

DH mentioned once he plays metal music and it calms dd instantly. Now anytime she calls she says crap like I know you only play that awful music but you really should be singing to her and playing classical music.

She's obsessed with this dumb phonics song and is convinced we don't read to DD and keeps saying things like well the least you could do is sing this song. How else will she learn to read. The newborn. Nevermind our home is filled with books ours and hers and we read to her multiple times a day. Meanwhile you can't find a book at mil's home..

It's constant well I think she would like this or you should do this instead and I'm just over it. You've met my kid once. You aren't involved in our lives and you don't know my baby. Give it a rest.

I know it's petty to not engage in the family chat anymore. But I just can't stand it and they just don't listen. Ex above about the swaddle. I responded with she gets plenty of freedom. Didn't feel the need to explain she's only swaddled at night. But then they just dig in. With well I never did all that. So I'm out. No more photos or updates just so it can be used against me later.
