Problem with 'Mother in Law'!!!

[xLisax]

I'm not sure if this is a problem which can be fixed but i thought i'd post as someone else may have experienced the same and have some handy hints,

My problem is my OHs mum, before having Max she rarely had anything to do with us and visited every few weeks...this suited both partys, now she wants to do everything with us and gets upset if she doesnt see us every other day, this would be fine if she was nice to me..but she isnt!

She constantly undermines me and tells me how i should be doing things which makes me very uncomfortable, there are also lots of background issues which i wont go into!

I just wondered if anyone else has been through this, I want to make her understand that we like to see her but she is Maxs grandparent not his parent and needs to realise that we are a new family and would like time together without her breathing down our necks!!

Sorry for the rant!!! x x x

Sounds like your OH should have a wee talk with her.

Hmm is a good plan, might suggest that later..it cant hurt, thank you x

Defo get your OH to have a word . Id also say when she tries telling you what to do "we all do things different and this is my way and how i do things". I did this with my mil and she doesnt say anything to me anymore although she just does things behind my back instead! Thankfully she lives miles away lol.

Lol i will give that a whirl thank you, i have to bite my tongue with her sometimes! She only lives 2 minutes away so this definitley needs to be sorted!! lol x
