[quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I were visiting  mil with our 3 month old for the first time over weekend. She lives in another state and we only see her once or twice a year. She has a history of saying inappropriate or insensitive things. After being at her house for an hour she tells my 3 month old daughter to hush. She was not crying but was babbling while I was holding and playing with her. I made an audible gasp and aww like sound.  She sees my expression, laughs and says I guess your momma didn't like that. I was not sure what to think or say to her. An hour later on the way to our hotel I speak to my husband  about what happened. He says he only heard her comment about my reaction and not the actual hush . He tells me that she must have been playing. We have discussed in the past about being deliberate in wanting to have a different experience in raising our daughter as compared to our parents who used beatings and being verbally harsh at time. I later told my husband that in the future we need to respond if this occurs again. I'm sure my spouse will not bring this up to his mom but I'm wondering if I should bring it up and discuss with her. I'm also wondering if I'm being too sensitive as a first time mom. Also every day of our three day visit she complained about schedule. That we visited her ex husband and his wife too long. Now that we have a daughter we want her to have the ability to spend time and get to know him as well. When we would arrive she would comment about her jealousy and that they were waiting for us although we would let her know our plans each day. We would also provide updates when she would call us to see what we were doing. Wondering if I should explain this as well or just let it all go til the next time.[/quote]
