My in laws are here. They've been here 5 days and are staying another 5 days. I am completely done with them and want them out of my house.
Here is what has happened since they've been here:
MIL insists I'm washing my bottles incorrectly. She stands over me and watches me wash bottles and tells me everything I'm doing wrong. Then she proceeds to rewash all the bottles I've just washed. Even though I stand there insisting the bottles are fine.
MIL and FIL come into our bedroom whenever they please without knocking. This morning I was in bed in my bra and underwear with my baby girl and my FIL just walked in without knocking and wanted to say "hello."
MIL insists on doing our laundry, folding it and then putting it away. As in putting my underwear away in my underwear drawer even though I have asked her a dozen times NOT to.
Two nights in a row I have gone to bed before my husband leaving my 4 week old in HIS care. The first night MIL told him we are "overfeeding" her and made him skip giving her a bottle. My 4 week old went 7.5 hours without a bottle because of this. I completely freaked out and asked him why he would ever let her do that to our daughter. He said he thought his mom knew what she was doing. So I said he was under no circumstances to listen to her craziness. The second night- I again left baby girl in my DH's care to go to bed- and instead of giving her the 4 oz bottle she normally gets before bed, MIL gave her 2 oz. And DH just let it happen. I am beyond livid at this point and want to kick them out of my house. My DH just keeps saying that he trusts his parents and thinks they know what they are doing.
Today baby girl had 2 oz at 4:00 pm. At 6:30 she was rooting and smacking her lips. Obviously hungry again. MIL was holding her and kept saying "she's not hungry, she has gas." I told her once that rooting her head and smacking her lips is hunger, not gas. She doesn't even cry when she's hungry- just bops the head and smacks lips. FIL piped up- oh no you can't tell the difference if it's gas or hunger. And I said "I am her mother and believe me I know the difference. Please give her to me, I will make her a bottle." MIL refused to hand her over and kept patting her back saying "you aren't hungry, you just have gas." I looked at my DH and almost lost my mind. I said as calmly as I could "Give her to me now." My MIL handed her over.
I am completely at a loss and have no idea how I'm going to make it through the next 5 days. But if they try to keep dictating how and when I feed my daughter I am going to kick them out.
