[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy selfish OP-you need to get over yourself and realize that you aren't the only person to ever have a child and deal with invasive in laws.
They love your husband and will love his child, poor you, a child that has TOO MUCH LOVE? They want to feel part of his/her life.
Get over yourself and realize you married into this family and stop being such a bitch.[/quote]

There is a big difference between genuine love and power plays/control disguised as love.

There is also something to be said for recognizing that IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, GRANDPARENTS, it's also about giving a new little family time and space to adjust to this new life and to enjoy little and big moments as a new family.

Older people are adjusting to lives that are less busy and full, I get that, but they need to recognize that it's not up to their children/grandchildren to fill their time and provide their sense of usefulness/purpose/joy. You still have to build your own life, and make sure that children/grandchildren are a PART of it, not ALL of it.
