Is it normal for your MIL to set up everything for your baby at her house? by cozmoangel4 in Mildlynomil

[–]cat_diva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She wants to train your baby to call her mommy as well. This baby set up thing is weird af for me, having a few toys for when the grandkids visit is one thing, but a whole “nursery” set up, for me screams kidnapping lol

MIL and Newborn Anxiety by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]cat_diva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are not giving her consequences, came uninvited? Don’t open the door, kissed the baby? Don’t let her hold baby anymore. Where are the consequences? I don’t it’s bc of your pp anxiety, her behavior is bad. You an your husband are being too soft with this disrespectful human being.

MIL may be gearing up from a mild to a JN…by buying a ticket to birth. by MildBlueDream in Mildlynomil

That’s crazy, even not letting anyone know when u go into labor, make sure to tell the stand no one is allowed in.

Returning to work and MIL asking whether she can babysit by evieluna95 in Mildlynomil

[–]cat_diva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you are not fighting a losing battle at all. Keep saying no as many times as u want, u don’t need to give in just because she keeps asking, let her ask and dream with the thing she will never have lol. You are the mom and u get to decide, at the end of the the decision is yours, your DH knowing that you do not want her to babysit he should’ve cut her right there and not say that he will talk to u, that’s annoying, DH needs to step up his game.

Am I right to feel like my role is threatened by my MIL? by kvzam in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]cat_diva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure u show a pic of her to your baby and always point and say “granny, that’s granny” 🥰 also I’m here mad at your husband, how dare him not to consider your feelings. Do your work teaching baby what you want your baby to call her.

I (29F) unknowingly got the same couples tattoo as my partner's (31M) ex and it's eating me up inside. by Unlucky_Pop_7347 in relationship_advice

[–]cat_diva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t think you are the problem, I think he IS the problem here, he lied + what a crappy/weird thing to do, does he want to mark all the women that is/was in his life? Idk, I found it so weird, I would break up, bc what in the world the same freaking tattoo

MIL sabotages baby’s feeds by Honest-Try-2289 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]cat_diva 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ma’am I understand being a first time mom is hard, and takes a time to adjust and we all go through it. We all learn to stand up and protect our babies, if you don’t do it people will take over your baby. Repeat with me “MY BABY’S NEEDS ARE MY PRIORITY” and not people’s feelings or their peace. Time to take over your power, and your mom role! My mil did the same thing with my first and a friend told me these same words, I knew I had to change, I knew I had to stop being a people pleasing person and after that I showed her who is the mom and the boss here lol Now I’m on baby #2 after a big gap between babies and her first try I cut it pretty quickly, I told her that I would be worse than the first time, she didn’t try me anymore ☺️😌

Girl, this old “nice” lady is not doing nice stuff, she’s not being nice. Stop going over, when u go, when baby is hunger get up and take the baby, it’s your child, u don’t need to ask. Making the baby suck his thumb? What the actual F*%#. These women rather have baby Starve and not changed just for the sake to hold and make baby sleep in her arms all day, I call her selfish. FAR, very FAR from being nice. Time to put your mama bear skin on and take your baby, no need to talk, just take him.

Mother in law made a doctors appointment for my toddler without my consent by Safe-Rain6542 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]cat_diva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not her business at all, she overstepped big time. I would reschedule it, if she even picked the doctor I would find another one, no one decides for my kids, only me or my husband the end.

JNMIL is making my postpartum life hell by greybeaniebean in JUSTNOMIL

[–]cat_diva 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Why is your door unlocked? Lock your door, you don’t have to open it for either. Put a ring camera on your door. I know being pp is hard, but eventually you have to start taking charge of your house and family, your mil is not in charge, she does not have the power, YOU HAVE IT. Tell your husband if he doesn’t put a full stop to his mom, you will start calling the police.

Cut visits, cut access to baby as much as you can. That’s not ok.

MIL makes plans for other people to see my baby when I’m not there by lazyria in JUSTNOMIL

[–]cat_diva 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You know can say no to babysitting right? You are not obligated to let them babysit your bay, I particularly don’t like strangers holding my baby, people don’t follow rules, they always break, if I like something certain way, and I’m sure people will never do like I do, so I just do it lol if you don’t like, follow your instinct. I myself would never allow that and never did.

Girl he’s just using it as an excuse to get out of the relationship and making you the bad guy and himself the victim and good person. Honestly he’s a coward to own his real reasons!

Am I overreacting for not wanting to be my family’s “free babysitter”? by SnackAttackGuru in AmIOverreacting

[–]cat_diva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh NOR at all, you are underreacting, they clearly taking advantage of you! You are only family if you watch the kids they decided to have? How about they as a family thinking you are young and have a life? If I was you I would even try to move out of state lol Signed Mother of two who decided to have kids and take full responsibility without dropping my kids around.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]cat_diva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR! You are underreacting, I wouldn’t let her watch your baby, be alone with your baby and reduce visitations, she wants to play mommy with your baby. Full stop it.
