[quote=Anonymous]My FIL does this! Not the nasty comments, but the trying to separate, feed, take over baby! It drives me crazy. He will literally take the spoon out of my hand to feed my son his yogurt. Or he will run off with DS in the stroller while I'm in the public bathroom (I'll come out and be like, where did they go? Wtf).

I tried to be understanding about it, but unfortunately as my son has aged (he's now 2), FIL has gotten totally out of line. He deliberately ignores my rules. He plans things for DS to do when we visit that I wouldn't approve of (riding on a giant tractor) and then he tries to sneak the activities in when I'm in the shower or something. FIL is also antiquated about certain things, for example he gets aggravated that I want a carseat installed correctly before putting DS in it.

As a result I can't trust that my rules will be respected, so DH and I won't leave DS with the inlaws at their house.

My issue now is that DS is at an age where he can understand FIL. I'm overhearing conversations between them where FIL is programming DS to ask me for things that aren't allowed.

OP, if I were you, I'd nip this behavior now before it gets worse.[/quote]
