Obsessed MIL!!!

Hi mummies! How should I start… So basically, my mil is very obsessed with my first son. Before he was born she was obsessed already and touching and rubbing my stomach which my husband asked me to! After giving birth, I can see that she treats my son as her son.. and on the first night at home, my son sleeps with her. And the reason why is that, my husband wants the both of us to rest which got me upset and away from my just 2-day child... As months go by, whenever I’m not happy about MY MIL. The husband refuses to listen and care for his mom’s feelings. Until now, my son is 4 months old. I feel like the husband doesn’t support my parenting style and letting MY MIL TAKE IN CHARGE! And mind you, I could not do anything about it even when I talked about it. I feel like my position as a wife is to give birth & let whatever MIL wants to do. I feel that my voice is not supposed to be heard by the husband😞 Thank you for reading my rant. #firstbaby #pleasehelp

Same here. Same, im like not suppose to voice out anything abt my son when it comes to PIL. Each time i voice out, even with the nicest tone possible, thinking to avoid arguments maybe, still ended up fighting w husband. He couldnt accept i voice out things i not happy abt with his parents. The thing is his parents also damn obsessed w my son, always want to carry that poor baby who’s asking for milk or wants to sleep whenever he’s crying. Ended up never give milk cos carry alrd baby will keep quiet. This has been going on since my baby was born, till now he is 6month . We had an argument again 3 days ago abt the same thing & till today i never talk to my husband. I had enough & im currently also pregnant w 2nd baby & hes being a jackass to care for his parents feelings more than the mother of his child’s. So be it. I just find him childish & until he learns his mistake and realise hes not suppose to be doing that to me, i will continue treating him like a wall. And yes, dont settle for people who thinks they got the rights to treat your child like theirs and do whatever they like to your child. Only we, the mother got the final say for our child. Not even our husbands.
