Not OP, but shut up. OP is stressed with illness, not enough space, holidays, etc. she needs support. If all you can do us be mean and critical to an overwhelmed mom, then just go away.

She should have thought about thes things before she got pregnant. Only a fool would have a baby when living in a one bedroom apt.

OP, your baby and MIL are in cahoots. Baby waited until you were ou of sight to finally crawl and MIL was a real bitch to video it so you could see. What a selfish, mean MIL!

GROW UP OP.

I would think someone in her situation ( if it were so dire) wouldn't have the time or inclination to bitch on DCUM.
She came her to whine. Period.All her kids are alive and the one who is sick will be better by New Year that's a hell of a lot to be thankful for . Even more she has family willing and able to help her out, maybe they are a little annoying, but in very, very small ways.
I do think OP should take your advice and shut up and be a little more grateful.

Newsflash: 99% of vents and complaints are first-world problems. It's a problem for her. No one cares that it wouldn't be a problem for you.

Blah blah blah. You just like piling on MILs. They are all idiots and evil out to cause mayhem.

+1 very thoughtless and insensitive of her.

Hang in there, OP!

Hang in there, OP. Try to direct them toward tasks that will actually be helpful. Have "quiet time" with him in your room as much as you want. Tell them you need some care while you are caring for him, and would they please make dinner or go to the store.

Be grateful they want to help. I'll trade.

Shut her down on the food. "Nancy, we are feeding him age-appropriate food recommended by our Pediatrician. We won't be discussing this further."

I'm so sorry, OP. It's a stressful time. Talk to DH about shortening your stay of asking one of them to leave. There's just not enough space, physically or emotionally.

She didn't "get" the baby to crawl, he just crawled. This could have happened at daycare, you're just sore that it happened with her.

OP, get over yourself. I realize this is a stressful time with a hospitalization and long term visitors, but you sound way to petty. You have a baby, don't be a baby.

Your MIL is trying to help. Give her a schedule to work with so that she can be helpful. At least she asks about foods, vs. actually feeding your kid potential choking hazards. Make a list of the "no foods" list and post them in your kitchen. If she picks up the kid while you're playing, suggest, "Come join us playing with the blocks."

You are making yourself feel like you're not doing things right. Of course you are, but you're just being overly sensitive. Take advantage of long-term, free baby sitting and go out to dinner with DH or a girls-night-out with your friends.

Just needed to vent. Inlaws are currently here because our kid was hospitalized and he's staying home for the rest of the calendar year. My mom was over for three weeks, and now both my mil and fil are over in our 1bed/1bath. I honestly feel like if they are here to help, then only one would show up, but they're both retired, and have planted themselves in our living room. My MIL wants to do everything. And it makes me feel like she either thinks I don't do things correctly or she still wants to take care of her son and now first grandson.

The night she came in she asked me if she could feed my baby pecan pie. She keeps saying how she feels bad that he enjoys eating green beans, and that the food I make him is too bland. Not that I want someone to show appreciate, but god, I make all of his food, and work full time, and pump, just say something encouraging.

She knocked on our bedroom door this morning because she heard our baby up and wanted to feed him oatmeal cereal. She constantly picks him up when I'm playing with him. I went out to get her groceries, and when I came back she showed me a video of my kid crawling for the first time. I went straight to the bathroom to cry. I know it's irrational to cry, but I constantly feel like she wants to one up me, and she finally got my 9 month old to crawl. I get it, you raised 4 boys, amazing. Let me do me.
