Db due any day and I dread dealing with MIL. I know she's the g'ma and I want her to enjoy the baby but she is SO hard to deal with. DH is designated to deal with her and he does a terrible job at it. She called him tonight with all these questions, requests, etc. It all has to be about her. Just have to vent.

there is a lot more to this, of course. she's rude to me, gossipy and judgmental, etc. i'm not asking for validation on whether she's difficult - i know she is. these things coming from a place of concern or kindness aren't bad, but coming from someone with her personality it stresses me out (and dh).

i hear you, believe me. but try to find the positive in her. my FIL said some really insensitive, rude, and just plain moronic stuff to me when my son was first born, and trust me, i dine out on those stories with friends! but, deep down he's a good person, and he and my MIL babysit my kids all the time, and my kids adore them, so i don't get stuck on his annoying traits.

i am trying (really), but i also feel the need to stay on edge because she tends to bulldoze me whenever I'm not on edge. it doesn't help that dh gets so irritated with her and then with me for asking what he's mad about. thanks for your response. [ Reply | More

NNP: yes she does. She sounds very much like my MIL who is a giant PAIN IN THE ASS. My sympathies. It's not easy. I just remind myself that she's dh's mother (whom he loves) and I vent to anyone who will listen. [ Reply | More
