[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems unfair to not give both sets of grandparents equal time with the grandchild. Once a week doesn't seem a lot. And of course they'd rather see the baby than you. Surely them holding the baby, bathing it or rocking it is a huge help?[/quote]

Did you read the thread?  It's not a huge help to guilt trip a new mom who is trying to find her footing.  To demand time on your schedule, not on her's.  To pile on guilt about time spent with someone who IS supportive and helpful. These are not helpful things at ALL.  They are the opposite of helpful.[/quote]

Yes, but none of that has been really established. The OP thinks her MIL wants to replace her, to be the baby's mom. I don't think th eOP Is responding or taking in information rationally. Several people expressed kind and sincere sentiments that she look into PPD and she responded with sarcasm. Not a good sign

The evidence suggests that a MIL, with other grandchildren and a prior great relationship, is not trying to step in and steal the mom role from OP. I think her perceptions are all skewed right now.[/quote]
