[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's time to become "too busy" for the family chat. Dropping the rope seems like a good idea. If they are going to be negative in response to you sending photos, their son can be the one to send them -- or not.

My MIL attacks me routinely yet claims she loves me and has me in her will. In person, I ignore it. It's not hard since she doesn't stop talking and none of us is sure she cares if people are listening. She's been driving everyone crazy for years (not just me) but she attacks me the most.

Congrats on your baby! Take good care of yourself, and ignore the blathering grandparents. My guess is you have a passive FIL with a self-centered, always talking, always-has-an-opinion MIL.

Yes! FIL is passive and kind of goofy just wants to spend time with the kids. He was actually so nice during the visit. Always asked if he could hold DD and wasn't pushy and would just be silly trying to get her to smile. MIL tried once to remove her from my arms without asking or warning and I had to say please stop. And whenever she was holding DD she would say weird crap like [b]you're my baby girl, grandma loves you the most, you're my special girl[/b]..it made me so uncomfortable..

Ugh same MIL says family is everything but I know she hates me .not one single photo of me in their home. Married for 10 years together for 13. [/quote]

This is normal [/quote]

No, it’s not.  The grandmother is trying to displace the mother.  Why else would the grandmother say she loves the baby more than the woman who carried her and birthed her?[/quote]

She didn’t say any of that though this crazy mom might interpret it that way though. [/quote]

How else do you interpret “grandma loves you the most”?[/quote]

Grandma loves you more than she loves anyone else. You’re grandma’s favorite person. [/quote]
