[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]

I'm going with the facts. You're writing fiction that what really would have been helpful is...watching TV? Why are you writing fiction?[/quote]

The facts are DIL and son were thundering around the in-laws house in the middle of the night with a screaming baby and woke everyone up. Sounds like a shitty situation for all, no?[/quote]

“Thundering?” Are you extremely obese or something? When I quietly walk down a hallway in the middle of the night, I don’t “thunder.” I guess you do…[/quote]

Are you obese? If they woke the MIL up they weren't being quiet. How else do you explain it? [/quote]
