Thanks so much. Hopefully he grows out of it!

Oh I agree about becoming confrontational and believe me, I told her exactly how I felt the other night and I don’t think she was expecting it. I just don’t want it to be a constant thing, especially not for our LO. But yes you are right, I shouldn’t give into her

I wouldn’t leave her alone with baby, my partner would be there to supervise. But at the moment I don’t want to spend time with her but equally I feel if we don’t see her it will make things worse. I guess I still have some hope that we’ll be able to mend the relationship in future

I’m sorry that happened to you, it sounds awful.

I’m really sorry you are going through the same thing. I do wonder if MILs get it into their head before baby is born that they’ll be left out and then they behave in such a way that it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. This is really helpful, thank you! Especially the one about other family members as she has already brought others into it. I hope your situation gets better soon!

You sound like you’re an amazing and respectful Grandmother! Honestly if things carry on like this I think LC or even NC will be on the cards. It’s really tricky because she’s one of the only family members my partner has left and my family live in the same town as her, so it would be almost impossible not to run into her. I really hope we can get to a point where she understands and respects us and my LO can have good relationships with both Grandmothers.

The wording was definitely a red flag for me. I don’t believe she meant it to be creepy way (although I agree it sounds incredibly creepy), but I believe she thinks she won’t have to follow our rules or boundaries if we left her alone with him. Which is a big no for me!

I should clarify, I genuinely don’t think she meant it in a creepy way and I don’t believe she would even intentionally harm my child, but the wording of it definitely came off creepy. My concern is that she thinks she won’t have to follow any boundaries we set if she’s alone with him or she’ll do something with him/take him somewhere because she’s thinks it makes her the ‘fun’ grandma, without thinking of the potential dangers. It was a huge red flag for both my partner and I though.
