[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband is out of his mind.  No f-ing way would anyone sane EVER let a six week old baby spend the night, much less the weekend, with a grandmother unless it were an emergency.  That is absolutely and utterly absurd.  Aren't you nursing him in the middle of the night anyway?  He is an infant for God's sake.

I agree with the 6 years old actually.  Your MIL can babysit if you go out to dinner or for an afternoon but, until he is comfortable sleeping away from mommy and daddy, she does not get to demand anything.

As for you MIL saying you are "hogging" the baby - he is YOUR BABY!  You can't hog your own baby.  She sounds like a controlling interfering bitch quite honestly.

I am sure you an tell I am outraged by your MIL's attitude and even more so by how stupid and unsupportive our husband is.  Sounds like you are in for some huge boundary issues OP. mi wish you luck and the best thing to do now is stand firm.  [/quote]

Thanks!  I'm going to stand firm.  I just hate that this is causing conflict between DH and I. [/quote]

PP here.  Sorry for my typos in that last paragraph. I just can see what is coming down the path for your OP and it is unpleasant to say the least.  My MIL is like this in many ways.  Clearly that accounts for my outrage to some extent.  However, your husband has to, has to, support YOU.  You are his wife, the mother of his child, and the only person whose opinion he should give weight to here.  The fact that he is siding with his own mother, over you, is very troubling.  He needs to realize that you are the mother now and you know best.  If you do not make this very very clear to him, and him to his own mother, NOW, it will just escalate and become an enormous struggle for you and your marriage.

Thank God for me, my husband figured out very early where his loyalties should lay, with his wife.  My MIL still lIkes to try and get her way but I know that DH supports me.  [/quote]
