My mother in law and I used to get along great, until my son was born. During labor, she tried to force her way into the delivery room and as a result neither my mom or sister whom I actually wanted there were able to watch. After he was born he was in the nicu for 9 days. As soon as he was able to come home, she was at my house almost everyday. She takes him away from me and refuses to give him back. If he is hungry she will pass him to me and say "i am taking him back as soon as you're finished." When Anyone else is holding my son and I try to take him back she says "do not give Her the baby!" And starts laughing. On Easter our parents spent the holiday together and not once did she let my mom hold him. Whenever I am getting ready to leave she pries him from my arms and runs away saying "what? You don't trust me?" I have tried to just swallow it for the sake of not causing drama but I cannot take it anymore. She will even take him from me and walk away to another room. On Mother's Day she refused to give him up and said "you have him all the time!" It's getting to the point where I am refusing to go to my husbands family events because I feel disrespected and I feel like I need to ask permission for MY son back. Whenever he starts to poop in his diaper she says "go and change him right now! You're going to burn his butt." I know my son and I know that once he starts going I need to wait about 15 minutes or as soon as I take that diaper off he will crap everywhere. I don't want to cause a riff between my husband and his mother but I spoke to him about it and he says that she is wrong but he doesn't know how to go about it. I need some words of wisdom please.
