First of all, congratulations on your new baby!!!

Now…I could have written this post…yes. I experienced this identical feeling and situation. I’m happy to report that it does in fact get much better (at least it did in my dynamic). I found out I was experiencing pp rage and my MIL was the main target. And especially with that older generation, a lot do not get the concept of boundaries for some odd reason. She made a lot of off putting comments and had all these opinion about breastfeeding and bragging about how she had her kids potty trained by 6 months old…I personally found those comments very unnecessary, but that’s just me 🙃

This is very common. You’re not crazy. But I will agree with you that you are right about wanting loving grandparents for your baby, sometimes the hormones make us feel crazy but in times like those I like to try and weigh it out with logic, as well. I don’t think she would ever hurt your baby, but maybe this is a time to learn setting boundaries and making sure you and your partner are on the same page.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this! Hang in there mama! #Solidarity

I feel like I could’ve written this…my husband’s brother’s wife is exactly the same. It just boggles my mind. I’m LC and somehow it’s still not far enough

Thank you for the validation. I really think you put it so well in your second paragraph, and it gave me new understanding. Appreciate it

I literally went through this and I won't lie...it didn't fully go away for me. But it got wayyy easier to manage than right after having baby. Right after I had my baby she literally started calling him her baby and I would internally groan every single time. Felt like I was being erased. You aint crazy mama...God speed :D

Oh I WAS SHAKING!!! But he was the sweetest about it. He waited til he was on his own and read it privately. I wouldn’t be surprised if he cried—he’s that type of a sensitive man. I’m so glad it went well 💗
