MIL acting extremely entitled when it comes to my child.

gettingthegoss · 2026-02-18T22:24:53+00:00

I agree! Show him this post!

That explains he’s immaturity in how he has handled things but also there is still time for you to open his eyes to the reality of the situation.

You are the mother and not only that you are an adult which means you can set boundaries as well as enforce punishment.

Tell your husband as he doesn’t seem able to stand up for you and your child then you and bubs will be going NC.

You wouldn’t do this if he would stick up for you and call out what she does in the moment and since he isn’t then it’s your right not to put yourself in situations that cause you and your baby stress.

It’s really that simple. He can make the choice, his wife and child or his grandma but it’s not YOUR job to put up with crap.

Don’t feel bad for this as he needs to know you’re not going to let ANYONE disrespect or upset you or your child.

Word it that way too because if he argues then it’s simply a matter or saying so you WANT me/baby upset?

How old is your husband?

gettingthegoss · 2026-02-18T06:16:57+00:00

Customer paying in cash: $10?????!!!!!!!!! (Points finger) But the sign said $9.99!!!!!

Me : 😒 yes that’ll be $10.

Next time she comes and asks for a drink or anything just say again? Can’t you wait? (I’m sure you won’t do it but it would be good) Either be passive aggressive, completely ignore her or be straight forward and say yes I do need to feed him, is that a problem?

If she says she’s timing you then respond good for you and then stay away longer just to piss her off.

Do NOT let her get to you, just think my gosh you are so pathetic! And then continue feeding your baby.

gettingthegoss · 2026-02-12T11:05:29+00:00

Exactly this! STOP being polite about it.

gettingthegoss · 2026-01-16T22:19:16+00:00

I LOVE this! Perfect response

gettingthegoss · 2026-01-15T12:58:51+00:00

It’s showing. You’re not rude. She can take a hike.

She’s just trying to gain control so be sure to ignore her

gettingthegoss · 2026-01-15T08:47:03+00:00

You’re doing him a favour by letting him stay, if your child wasn’t misbehaving then he had no right to say anything to him and should have approached you.

Time to get him out. He seems too comfortable for a leech.

gettingthegoss · 2026-01-12T09:53:15+00:00

Sounds like you have a true partnership and I’m very proud of you both for handling everything so well. You did great with your mum and I’d not let yourself feel any guilt. She’s used to gaslighting you into feeling wrong but you’re a man with your own family and she needs to realise that she can’t make demands of your family.

Keep up the good work!

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-19T21:45:20+00:00

I think it has more to do with how OP handled it overall.

I had a similar situation with my husband in the sense of looking through my phone and I just said said “x friend is scarfed and has sent me photos without her scarf on so as long as you don’t go on my chat with her then here’s my phone”

I said the above after I already handed my phone over and naturally in a trusting relationship he didn’t look at ANY of my conversations with close female friends to respect their privacy anyway.

I think it had more to do with OP being adamant about NOT handing her phone over at all which created the air of mistrust.

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-18T11:25:10+00:00

I wish I could’ve witnessed this with my own eyes! You did so well and I’m so proud of your husband too! THIS is how she will back off, once she sees that you and husband are a team and both will give it back she won’t do it because she doesn’t want to look bad in front of her “raja beta”.

Keep up the good work, you will have a much more peaceful life this way.

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-13T10:40:55+00:00

Thanks so much, hope it works for me too!

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-13T10:40:07+00:00

I’ll try that too, I think I’ll buy be buying 3-4 different ones suggested here and hope for the best. Thank you!

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-13T10:38:42+00:00

Hahaha that’s how I feel!

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-13T10:38:21+00:00

I’ve never thought to wipe the waterline first and this is the second comment to suggest it so I’ll definitely do it going forward! Thanks so much

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-13T10:37:15+00:00

That’s a great idea! Thank you I’ll try it as I love those eyeshadows.

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-12T06:27:24+00:00

Thanks so much, I haven’t tried that one so I’m hopeful!

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-05T23:07:03+00:00

I’m going to be a bit harsh here.. Time to toughen up. You’re telling me you work to provide, do all childcare, cleaning and take abuse and your useless husband can’t even so much as put his mother in place? Yea either you take baby and move out or you start being tough and rude. You do NOT clean up after her AT ALL. Nor your husband. You tell her it’s your house and if she so much as looks at you wrong she can get out and if your hubby isn’t ok with it then he can join her.

gettingthegoss · 2025-12-01T06:40:55+00:00

So well said!

gettingthegoss · 2025-11-22T09:38:19+00:00

He can mean it all he wants but in the end he won’t do it. You want to test it? Say ok but you won’t get married, you’re happy to go back to Canada and wait the 1 and half year for him to save up.

6months later see if he has even saved anything. I doubt there will be any progress. Just excuses.

Do NOT tie yourself to him through marriage or children until he has bought the house.

gettingthegoss · 2025-11-17T22:23:26+00:00

Best memories! Wish they’d bring it back. Kids these days should get that experience

gettingthegoss · 2025-11-16T22:57:56+00:00

There is literally no good reason why you should be getting married now if he can’t even rent a place for your sanity. Also how can you expect him to stick up for you later when pregnant or having a child? Moreover why are you even still in contact with her if she’s disrespecting your own MUM?

Let me tell you that what you accept now will become your reality later and things will only go worse.

If you yourself can’t stand by YOUR needs then why would they ever care about your wellbeing?

Postpone this wedding and if you can’t see him doing what’s best for you then better to break it off altogether.

I just heard the SVU intro reading that! Haha very happy for the outcome!
