[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to your DH about stepping in and trying to resolve the situation, somehow. I guess FIL is out of the picture? If so, is there an aunt or uncle or close friend of MIL's who can assist in person or from afar? She should not have come to visit in this position as yes, she is an additional person to care for and right now your newborn is #1. She should have stayed close to her doctors/hospital. Sounds like she's nearly catatonic and needs help asap.[/quote] +1 Your DH needs to take care of his mother so that you don't have extra work to do. She sounds like she needs help. If she was depressed before she got there, she could have canceled the trip. If seeing the baby triggered the depression, then she should go see a dr ASAP. If they don't address these problems, they need to grow up, or remind them it's not going to be YOUR problem! [/quote]
