hi mummy, that sounds so frustrating and heartbreaking especially when they keep doing it on purpose n rub it in our faces!!!
for starters u can try talking w ur husband telling him how you feel.
then smth u can try, maybe after work u can bring him out for a stroll or playground just the 2 of u. maybe u can buy fruits/foods/candy that he likes and eat together. spend time watching/singing the things he likes.
also my personal favorite thing to do is to ask for hugs n kisses. heheh but I'm sure u alrd do that a lot.
I understand u might be feeling unimportant, but remember u will always be his one n only mummy n no one else can replace u. no one else's love/attention can compare to a mother's one, no matter how other ppl try to separate u guys. be strong and show ur MIL u r not 'scared of competition' because u r his one n only mummy. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
hope this helps.
