[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with a lot of what you said in your original post, but your example of his mom asking about how he is tired when you aren’t around?  You are 100 percent over reacting.  I imagine it’s your hormones and stress.  There is absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, wrong with a mother asking her son how it’s going, is he tired, etc etc and yes, that includes asking when you aren’t around.  Given the tone of your posts, I really do get the feeling she couldn’t win either way and I suspect she is on eggshells around you and that’s why she didn’t ask about your rough pregnancy.  Maybe you could try resetting the tone of your relationship by letting go of your animosity and focusing on the joy of this baby.  Open up to your MIL, be friendly and warm, and ask questions about her day - I.e., treat her the way you would want to be treated.  See if the dynamic between the two of you changes over time.[/quote]

I guess I felt like she was with us all day then all of a sudden when I’m out of the room she decides to ask her son if he is tired etc..like she only wanted to hear from her son instead of asking how both moth and dad were adjusting to everything. Like she wanted to ask him separate from his wife. Like does she think he would tell his mother something he wouldn’t tell his own wife?[/quote]

You feel, you feel, you feel…

Keep letting your feelings jerk you around, OP.  You’ll ruin your relationship with your MIL first, then your marriage.
