[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was in the EXACT situation with a local MIL.   First and only grandchild.

Most PPs aren't getting it.  There is love, and then there are narcissistic women with boundary issues.   Does she have other problems with boundaries, by any chance?

Even if not, what she's doing is not normal.  It's OK to "spoil" a grandchild with an extra cookie or tix to Mary Poppins.  It's NOT OK to overtly and unapologetically try to be divisive, insult a mother, and pretend a baby is yours when its not.

I am sad to say, OP, that this unhealthy mental thing will likely persist if your MIL does indeed have narcissistic boundary issues.    Tried to plan a 1st birthday party yet?  Look out!   Or buy a 1st Halloween costume, or pick a preschool, or, well, you get the idea.

Here's a thread I started years ago.  You know the ONLY think that's helped?  The child growing older and less adorable, not always "sweet," and with a mind of its own:
