I need to ask for prayer from you all. My son who is 16 months is spending his first weekend away from us with my in-laws and I am having a REALLY hard time with it. My MIL and I have a history of issues that I will not go into at this time. Lets just say she has not always respected my wishes as a mother and has openly defied me and my requests many many times. She is also extremely overweight and has recently had surgery making her even less capable physically of running after a very active toddler who is into everything. I have been praying about and trying to work on my end of the relationship ever since I was pregnant and she was giving me trouble then. (she laughed at me when I told her of my plans to breastfeed because its not what SHE did) Its been a huge struggle and a very real source of anxiety for me. It puts a strain on my relationship with my husband as well because while he sides with me 100% of the time, he lets her actions and words slide off his back, where as I take everything to heart and feel very insulted as a mother when she chooses to do things "her way" rather than the way i ask her to.
Please also pray for the safety and well being of my son during his stay with them.. (3 hours away)
Lord, please give me peace and understanding knowing that Brady's grandparents love him and do have his best interests at heart, even if it may not seem that way to me. Calm my spirit and allow me to let go of any fear or anxiety I have surrounding this issue and allow me to fully be with and enjoy my husband this weekend. Keep us all safe and reunite us with the Joy you have provided. Thank you so much for the amazing blessing that is my son and for the tiny growing miracle that will be his sibling.
Thank you all!!
