my mum is driving me mad!!!

[sparkle1]

I dont know if im being a bit over the top & too protective here but just need to let it out,
my mum is driving me nuts but I dont think she is really doing anything wrong??
My LO is 7 weeks old now & is doing very well. When my mum sees him she just takes him from me and when she thinks he needs his nappy changing she just goes & changes it. Last week I left the room to get his changing bag & when I came back in she was changing his nappy.
When we go out she takes the pram from me & pushes it. I feel like I fighting over him.
She talks to me through LO if you get what I mean, for example he didnt have any socks on yesterday so she says to him ' aww your feet are cold'
me & OH went out for the first time yesterday & left LO with her. I had expressed some milk & wanted to feed him before I left. She warmed the milk up & asked my sis if she wanted to feed him. I think she should have passed the bottle straight to me.
I know they are only little things but I feel that she is not respecting me as a new mum & she is putting her role as a grandma first?
We have always been close but Im the mum & I want to be his main carer.
Its like she is trying to control the situation. I feel silly when I take him back off her as im normally laid back.

Do I sound like im going mad?

your not going mad, some people are just like that, my mum still does things like that to me, just talk to her and then things will get better, the sock thing my mum alway says that to me.

My mum is exact same, But i sat down and told her after jacob was about 5 weeks old and i just basically told her to back off a lil. So now she is better sometimes she over steps it but i kindly remind her So i would just talk to her about it XxX

i think you sound very normal to me honey, and i would feel just the same as you! i think a nice sit down and a chat with your mum, just in a friendly way to remind her your the mummy lots of luck

How frustrating! My mum was great, but I still felt a little bit taken over when we stayed with her for a week. 'helpful' slowly turned into 'interferring'.

... maybe try telling your mum how you feel? Remind her of when she had band new babies?

OMG "awww, ou've got cold feet" I get this from my inlaws! Jasper LOVES his toes, and its just been summer, so he doesn't need socks during the day.
