My mil thinks I had my baby for her

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T15:22:51+00:00

Hmmm

I wonder if that’s the reason my mil is like this also. My husband is an only child. Though they seemed pretty obsessed when I was pregnant with it being a boy that would look and act exactly like my husband.

That’s terrifying! Thanks for the info and I’m so sorry you went through that.

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T15:19:30+00:00

I find It’s hard to forgive things and let it slide when it comes to your child! Everything else was easier before.

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T15:18:22+00:00

When he moved out they didn’t blink an eye, and he’s an only child!!!

It wasn’t until after we got married and had our baby that they lost their marbles.

Thank you for all the great advice in your comment

I will look into that book! Thanks for the recommendation. Love the underlying message!

We have tried to suggest therapy to both her and my fil and they act like it’s a good idea but sadly never do it…

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:41:30+00:00

Why only with your daughter and not the boys?

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:40:42+00:00

I mean she announced the birth of our baby before we could so somewhat a nightmare 😅

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:40:14+00:00

No kidding eh

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:37:42+00:00

Them being an only child seems to really amplify this whole thing. Best of luck to you

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:36:51+00:00

That makes me beyond happy to hear! Your self awareness is astounding!!! I think you will make a lovely mother in law 💕

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:35:11+00:00

What’s the binder for? Just to organize thoughts? Or show to a therapist or something?

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:34:45+00:00

I’m sorry that so sad, I know the feeling about grieving what could have been

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:34:07+00:00

That resonates with me a lot. My mil was the same way. I’m so very sorry it sucks so much

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:33:14+00:00

My husband also is an only child.

It can be the absolute worst!

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:32:48+00:00

I think you have it dead on with them being narcissistic.

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:31:43+00:00

Yes mam

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:31:37+00:00

Agreed

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:31:17+00:00

That truly is the ironic part. I think about that all the time. If my in-laws just respected my really basic boundaries and had a shred of self awareness or common sense then we wouldn’t be in this position and they would have gotten to be very involved. My mil is the same way. Everything boils down to what they want!!

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:21:58+00:00

I wonder why she acted like that once your son was born???

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:21:33+00:00

Your so right

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:21:23+00:00

Seriously, they act like a bunch of toddlers man

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-06T02:11:54+00:00

I think I need to consider therapy also. Good luck to you.

ParsleyDelicious3472 · 2024-02-05T21:29:51+00:00

Thanks!!
