MIL troubles

posted 28th Sep
I didn't know where else to post this so here it goes. My fiance and I are not married obviously but we just had a daughter 5 wks ago. Well we live with his mom currently for another two weeks or so. Well ever since Chloe has been born she's been super annoying and even when I was pregnant with her but it recently got worse since my daughter was born. She was telling my fiance one evening when he came home from work when I was at my mom's that I wasn't letting her see her granddaughter and that I was being controlling over him by making him move away from her. She also just recently when we were trying to go to the store took my daughter and wouldn't give her back. She took her to her room and kept her there until my fiance demanded that she hand her back. How to do I solve this issue???? I'm tired of putting up with it. No matter what I say to this lady she keeps doing the same thing and just takes my daughter without asking. She has done a lot of other things but these are just a couple examples of her behavior. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Start saying no. Get used to it fast. If she tries to take her just don't let her if she doesn't in some way ask or at least acknowledge you. Ignore her hussy fits.

ETA lmao HISSY fits.

Get as far away and cut her out of your life. I'm sorry but taking your daughter and locking herself in a room with her CROSSES THE LINE. That's some psycho ass smurf.

I have THE hardest time saying no but I think I'm going to have to learn :/ And yes keeping her in her room like that is crazy ass smurf. We're trying to move an hour away from her but I have a feeling more trouble will be stirred up because of it.

It is hard to get used to it but you just have to. I had a hard time too but now 3 years and two kids later it's easy, lol.

Sounds like she has issues with control but withholding your five week old daughter from you kinda psycho you need to get out ASAP can you stay elsewhere till you move?

Not really. We tend to stay at my mom's a lot though.

Start setting boundaries!! I lived with my dad up til my daughter was 18 mos - he NEVER listened to how I wanted things to be done. Finally, I told him straight up. Of course, he didn't like it, but she's my daughter, and I will raise her how I wanted. He finally did listen and I was able to allow him to spend more time with him. It'll get a lot easier once you move out. It's nice that they let you stay there, but its like they treat it as if it's their baby - no boundaries or respect that its yours. I would start by saying No, asking them to not do something, or if you breastfeed, use it as an excuse to get her back or whatever. You don't want to be stressed out either, you just had a baby and should be happy   Good luck!
