Thanku guys glad people understand!
My Mom is this way with my daughter. I was seriously scared she was going to take off with her when she was a baby. Those comments from your MIL are creepy though. What makes it even worse is she has stuff at the house for the baby, likes she getting prepared.
My mil started saying she was taking my son for a month when our second son was born. I just ignored her. Then at his birthday, she said she took off two weeks, and she was taking my son back home with her. I looked at her and said, "first off, you have no right to him. Second off, he is in preschool and he is not missing unless he is sick, and lastly, he will be home to bond with his baby brother." She got pissed and left the party. My husband had to go do electrical work in Louisiana for a few days after Hurricane Isaac, and after four days, our son started having nightmares saying Daddy left us cuz he was mad at him for not cleaning up his room and his Daddy didnt want him anymore. Imagine the rejection he would feel sending him away for two weeks knowing his baby brother is home.
My MIL lives on the other side of the state, we live in Florida, its a 3 hour drive from my house to her. She doesn't do this with my daughter that I am currently pregnant with, but she does it with my son who is 2 1/2. She is talking about how she is taking him after i have my daughter no matter what I say. I'm like thinking lady your crazy, your not taking my son away from me no matter what. My son is such a mommy's boy and I am already afraid of how is he going to react to having a little baby around because hes very shy around other babies. I fear that if i were to let him go with her he would think that he is being pushed aside by me for the new baby. I wouldn't be able to handle that. So for now i just ignore her, but when time comes I will put my foot down whether she likes it or not.
That's pretty extreme. Restraining orders cross my mind when I picture myself in that situation X-) Good luck
My story hasnt changed jus worded it different!
My ex mother in law cried every time i saw her because i told her my baby was getting circumcised no matter what. Even his father told her it was happening. Then she was mad at the hospital when he came back from the procedure.
If it was my mum i wud tel her to back off and she wud understand but my partner wont tel his mum he thinks im overacting! Pfft
Not a MIL but my actual mother...she says it and I keep telling her no this is our baby (DH and mine) and her response is if that's what you think because I had you so that makes her mine...even my son (who isn't even 3) yells at her about it
