[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, look in your beautiful baby’s eyes and imagine yourself as the grandmother of her kids.  Wouldn’t you want to be included?  Letting a grandparent help with basic things, also makes future relationships so much closer.  God willing, you will be older one day.  I hope your kids/spouses show you more grace.[/quote]
Found the clueless MIL.[/quote]

Please….you guys are so tiring.   :roll: [/quote]

Nah, they are spot on. Having a baby is a lot of work and stressful at times. When they ask you to STOP, then you stop. You're the grandparent, not the parent. Piss off the parent? Then things will not go as you would want. Grandparents need to know their place and it is not to second-guess, oversee, nitpick. OPs MIL should have stayed in bed after the first night. Or not inserted herself. Period.

Personally, if it was my mother doing this, I would have pulled her aside after day 2 and told her she was being annoying AF (but more nicely) and knock it off. If she couldn't we'd go to a hotel so as not to wake her.[/quote]
