[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like your MIL was willing to help and let you guys get some sleep. You responded by being a jerk.  I'd be pissed at you too. You seem rude and ungrateful. [/quote]

This.  Maybe she wanted to help.  She can't nurse but some things my mom did for me during those frequent newborn wakings was rock the baby back to sleep or sit up with me and chat or watch TV so I could have some company and DH could get some sleep.  [/quote]

...DH did go back to sleep. While OP breastfed. Sounds like OP didn't want or need "company" during breastfeeding, as evidenced by her saying for several nights in a row that she didn't want help.[/quote]

Why are you speaking for OP?[/quote]

LOL, I think it's pretty clear from OP's description of events that she didn't want her MIL's company.[/quote]

The white knighting for OP is weird. There is a reflexive pro DIL and anti-MIL in all of these types of posts. Even when the DIL is obviously being rude.[/quote]

NP. Do you get that OP didn't start out rude? When someone tells you the same thing over and over and you don't listen and keep on persisting with "helping," THAT is rude. There's a limit.[/quote]

This.

If OP acted the way she did on the first night, I would probably agree that she was being rude. By the 4th night, her reaction was warranted. There’s only so much one can take. [/quote]
