[quote=Anonymous]As someone with teen I'd like to think I could have been irritated, stepped outside with the baby, and said "here she is, I have to run back in, doctor said no visits for a month, love you bye, thanks mom!" or stepped outside myself and left DH inside and said "baby is sleeping, but thanks for giving mom a ride, thanks mom!" but as a former mom of a newborn, I am pretty I would have done what you did.

Your mom was mean. I don't know if she's a mean person, but her message to you is self-centered, out of tough with the duties and nurturing attitudes of a new grandma, and straight up unkind. I'm not saying she's a bad person, but I am saying you can fully condemn this. I'd probably delegate it to DH if he were willing to send her a message thanking her for coming, and letting her know you need space and are hurt by her tone and words and actions.  If she's always like this...umm...maybe you'll see that once you have kids some boundaries need to be redrawn.

I'm so sorry, OP. Feel no guilt or embarrassment, feel free to say whatever you want to your uncle to smooth it over (again, can your DH do this?), and take care![/quote]
