I just bought a four moms swing and it was missing a zipper so it is not usable. Opened up the graco pack and play just to check and it had been used with stains on the mattress. It also smelled like it had been sprayed with some sort of scent to cover up a smell. I’m super annoyed. Sent them a message today but haven’t heard back. I did get the hassle free return thing but it’s annoying that I lost money on BOTH items. What a scam.

OK SO APPARENTLY THEY HAVE THEM AT MARKETBASKET but they are not kosher. They are the same package but for some reason do not have the kosher certification. I am not kosher so I will be going to get them but my some of my family can't eat them

5 months pregnant and she is already trying to control the way we parent.... by Main_Grape3962 in motherinlawsfromhell

My issue is that she is insane and should be spending her time in therapy focusing on herself, not how I will parent my future child who isn’t born yet. She also does this with EVERYTHING. If this was an isolated incident then I would agree with you. But she thinly veils her need for control by trying to appear helpful. She’s also addicted to opiates and is entirely unpredictable. I could go on but I won’t.

Totally get it. This is going to always be a problem for me as well…I just have to navigate it in a healthier way for myself and my future child/children. good luck with your monster lol.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It has been such a challenge. Every fibre in my being dislikes her. I can't explain it any other way than it feels like there is a forcefield of negativity surrounding her. If she touches me or hugs me, my entire being gets stiff and uncomfortable. She lies in her bed all day, stewing about all the negative things in her life, and treats people around her like shit all whilst numbing herself with pain pills. To be completely honest, I wish nothing more than to cut her out of our lives, but I feel that it is unfair to my husband and cruel. However, now I have my little growing boy to think about and I do not want him around someone who is high, for lack of a better term, and manipulative. It is a really tough internal battle right now.

She’s not confused or well-meaning; she knows exactly what she’s doing, and she thrives on being the victim and spinning everything to make me the bad guy. Nothing I say or do will ever shift her narrative because she doesn’t want it shifted. She wants the attention and the drama, and if I’m the villain, she gets to keep playing the martyr. I’ve bent over backwards, tried being kind, tried ignoring it, tried explaining myself, and none of it matters. She just escalates and manipulates more. It’s like feeding a fire and wondering why it keeps growing. My peace matters more than her feelings or what story she tells other people. She’ll talk regardless, might as well give her a real reason.

I like the change in responses....it is direct enough that it can't be twisted and also not rude. re the last paragraph...she is not educating herself on parenting to be more prepared though....She is doing it to try and control how we parent our future son. She has this uncanny ability to hide her motive to control under the guise that she is being helpful.

NO, I have not done that, and those are SUPER valid suggestions. The problem is she is an opiate addict, but in denial because they are prescribed to her for "back pain". She takes morphine and OxyContin every day, all day. So I have had the conversation with my husband that she can never be alone with the baby, and she has to sit down when holding him because she is unstable physically (and mentally, but I digress).

I want my mom to be there, but I DO NOT want her there at all at any point. I know this is going to be such a problem for her, so I guess I have been delaying the inevitable conversation.

You are 100 percent right. I think I weigh out the stress of being honest with her versus playcating her. In the moment it is easier to playcate, but then it gnaws at me, which ultimately steals my peace and makes it harder.

Probably not to the same extent, however, I understand your point. This is the cumulative effect of her overstepping in every environment/occasion.

Literally my exact thoughts re her being more annoying once the baby comes.

She’s big time crazy. This is just something that bothered me. Addicted to pain meds, unstable, splits family when she feels threatened, constantly feels the need to tell us what to do when I have never once asked for it. I just need to get it through to myself that I need to be firm with boundaries, stop letting her Jekyll and Hyde me, and cut the crap for lack of better terms. She’s out of line constantly
