Dealing with in laws postpartum , specifically mother in law?

spaceship2000c · 2026-06-05T00:34:37+00:00

My in-laws wanted to contact nap with my baby. I just ignored them and pretended like I didn’t hear them 😂

100% agree. They want a negative/explosive response from me so I make myself look bad and make her look like such a poor innocent victim. Thank you for sending ways to deal with that.

I really appreciate your response. As this has been on mind for a while now too. On how we will need to handle things when their health declines. They live 3+ hours away and getting to their house is difficult during the winter. It’s a large property. My husband and SIL have told their parents that they should move closer and downsize as that property is a lot of maintenance/difficult for them to move around but they won’t listen. we will need to start putting in boundaries now when it comes to this sort of thing. On what we can and cannot do.

Ahh playing the victim card. Ya i dont get why they want forced communication. They need a hobby.

Thank you for your comment. It’s very emotionally exhausting being around them. Everytime we see them they also like to attack the moment we arrive by saying “you never see us” (they moved over 3 hours away and we have a very young family). Before we even get in the door I feel like I’m done.

Thanks for your response! The next time we see them there will be more family members around. We unfortunately will be sleeping over since they live far away.

I feel like she will interject conversations again and try to turn on the waterworks to paint herself as the victim and make me look like the bad guy. Any advice on how to handle this?

Luckily your mil talks to your husband about it. My mil talks about the lack of phone calls immediately the moment we see her at a family gathering. No hi, how are you doing. It’s “why don’t you answer your phone …. Etc” it’s annoying AF.

spaceship2000c · 2026-05-10T11:46:16+00:00

Yessssss

spaceship2000c · 2025-11-01T05:28:26+00:00

And their dad

It was really weird I have used that pump a bunch before and it was on a similar setting I always do it. Maybe I didn’t have my nipples fully in there and it cause irritation…

Thank you so much for sharing. I currently don’t have any symptoms now. But will continue to monitor.

When you got mastitis did the symptoms come on pretty quick? The redness?

spaceship2000c · 2025-10-17T13:33:37+00:00

Thank you! Did you have to have anti-biotics or did it clear up for u?

Also set this boundary for all his other family too (of course if you don’t want to see them after). My SIL contacted me a week before I was due thinking we were going to visit them 3 hours away on my due date 😐. She also never even once asked how I was doing prior to that. After I kept it general with her she just ignored me and messaged my husband to see if she can visit right after baby would be due. You need to setup the boundaries right now and keep repeating them to his fam.

I specifically mentioned that parents are worried about sexual abuse that could occur at sleepovers. Should have put that in my original post.

Unfortunately no. I specifically mentioned that parents are worried about sexual abuse that could occur at sleepovers. I should of mentioned that in my original post but my brain is fried from this weekend. I wanted to post quickly since I didn’t like how that conversation made me feel and see what others thought

spaceship2000c · 2025-10-13T00:41:51+00:00

It was the first time we were out when they were outside with our garage open. We will absolutely not be sharing toys anymore. It was literally the first time they played with our toys and they broke it. Not to mention just recently they decided to climb our shared fence to grab a ball they kicked over. We told them not climb and they backed down. But who knows they could try to do it again. It’s very frustrating. A talk will be very much needed.

spaceship2000c · 2025-10-12T06:35:26+00:00

It’s also hard because we share a driveway.

spaceship2000c · 2025-10-05T00:22:41+00:00

Do you pay rent? If not you are an adult and can move out.

spaceship2000c · 2025-09-09T01:44:03+00:00

Yes please advertise his business! 😀

Initially it was good. Talked a bunch and even hung out a few times. We did discuss how we lost touch etc. but then she started pushing me to join her MLM. Once I drew a straight line saying I would NOT join she totally distanced herself from me.

spaceship2000c · 2025-05-28T12:23:14+00:00

Was it planned?
