[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother always woke up and prowled around when we were  similarly situated, but she WANTED TO, and never gave us grief for it. What exactly is yours pissed about? The wake-ups or that you seemed annoyed at her presence?[/quote]

OP here. What bothers me is that we explained everything to her, even before the visit, and after the first night, that yes sorry about the noise, but we've got it under control. We also asked her to lower her voice the first, second and third nights, and she continued to speak very loudly, which of course will just keep the baby awake. What bothers me is she totally ignored us, night after night, even though we very specifically said please lower your voice and please let us do what we need to do, please go back to bed.

It's like she wanted attention, and wouldn't take "we don't need your help right now" for an answer. She also doesn't like that we are choosing to breastfeed, which may have something to do with it.[/quote]

Op, your comment totally resonates with me. I live with my MIL and she constantly ignores res what we ask of her. I don’t think it’s malicious. I think sue just has a block and completely forgets everything we have asked her to do wrt the baby. It’s hard but I’d just try to move on. Next time you see her the baby will be completely different. I’m sorry and I totally understand your frustration. I live it daily![/quote]
