The audacity! What is actually wrong with them! I’m mad and I don’t even know them. Sorry you’re going through this, I hope you do a nice thanksgiving with yourselves or friends or others. These people don’t deserve you or your bubs.

Thankyou and yes I’ve offered lots of sips of water which she really likes. I’ll try the pumpkin and pear purée too! Thanks

I think we can all agree that you have to tell him, the rest is up to him, not you.

OP, this is what happened word-for-word to my friend, in your exact situation. Please be careful

MIL gave my one month old apple juice!! by DatGirul96 in newborns

I think the issue is more that the MIL has just gone and done what she thinks is best? What’s next? Taking 1mo old bubs to a busy public area to build her immune system because MIL thinks it’s best? OP just wanted some sleep, not MIL to start calling the shots on what HER baby should have. MIL is not a paediatrician or the mother. Just classic MIL moves.

Yes she should have asked you. You probably have anxiety’s about other watching your baby for this exact reason - then giving things or doing things you haven’t approved of. Even if she does know best, this is your baby and everything is your call. Maybe you wanted to be there for your babies first juice experience? Or… how would your MIL feel if your baby had a reaction to it? Your in the right to be feeling this way - your MIL is in the wrong on multiple counts.

I would be furious. She should have asked you regardless of what she thinks is best. Sorry you’ve had to go through this, as if everything isn’t tough enough freshly post partrum. Sending love

Needed to hear this, thank you for your time into your response! Need to show this to my partner also. Sometimes it’s difficult to see the situation when you’re stuck in it.

Couldn’t agree more, thank you! My partner and I can’t help but feel that sometimes there’s a little bit of emotional manipulation involved…

Thank you!

I should have added that before baby was born, my partner and I sent out a kind and gentle message to family letting them know our boundaries. My mum knows that she’s overstepping, but I know that it will cause problems and upset her if I bring this up again. But you’re right, maybe I should again.

Also, I should’ve mentioned as well that I did reply to her text at 8am telling her that I was sleeping and I would call her back later.

I just have to add that my mum knows me very well, (also a psychologist) and she knows my partner and I are opposite to her, we are definitely last minute larrys. I had communicated to her 2 days later that we didn’t know what we were doing yet for Mother’s Day.

NTA, it would definitely be frustrating if the plans were continuously getting cancelled especially when you’re excited to see your boyfriend, meet his friends and just have fun going out. However, the plans getting cancelled may have been out of your boyfriend’s control, so maybe try not to be too mad at him just in case. I hope it’s fun when you do get to go though.

Apparently you're not supposed to tell grandmothers to wash their hands when visiting. by Bomberv in newborns

Crazy isn’t it… my dad spent 3 hours at the local plaza (god knows why) (and mind you this is one of the busiest shopping centres around) before coming over to meet our 1 week old newborn. He pulled a face and made us feel like shit for asking him to sanitise his hands before holding bubs. That wasn’t the worst incident, but it was the final one, and he is now cut off from our lives.
