Frustrated.
posted 27th Jan
So I just had my baby about two weeks ago, I'm currently living at my parents house, and going to school full time. I love my mom to death but since the baby's here everything I wanna do for him, like give him an actual bath, giving him pacificers, when he eats, pretty much everything she has something to say about and I feel like she's not letting me be his parent. I'm so frustrated. I know she's really excited he's here but I just wish she would let me parent him myself. Anybody relate to this. Am I over reacting?

My mom does that... I don't even live with her. Lol. It's a mom thing, I think. It's extremely frustrating, I know.

She's your mom. She loves you and just wants to help. Just listen to what advice she gives you and if you don't agree, tell her you appreciate her help, but you wanna do it a different way.

My mom is like that, it does get old. Did you tell her how you feel? Maybe talking to her about it will help. Tell her it's great she wants to help, but you're new to this and need to be able to figure things out, assuming this is your first baby. Maybe she will understand, she probably doesn't realize she's doing it

I have 3 kids..
6, 3, & 17 months...
My mom still dosnt think I know what I'm doing lol...
She texts me every morning, to make sure I got kids to school
Texts me when its going to rain or be cold, to put jackets and gloves on them...
She will text mid-dayish to see what Maks is doing...
Ahhhh I can go on she's just my mom and I'll always be her *child* she needs to know I'm on my toes... and taking care of *her* babies...
And if I don't take care of them, she tells the baby especially, that they are going to run away and live on a disney cruise and they are going to get rid of me orrr I'm not invited

Yeah... I haven't lived with her since 2007
She will tell me straight out, *shutup, ur mean to my babies, u don't know how to treat them*
Usually while holding the lil 1, he milks it
He even does the fake cry when he hears her voice, he has gotten better he can make tears now
then she comes running...
my mother has never ran *ever*
I also have my godmother... who believes, I had children, because she didn't and somehow mine are hers...
She also texts thru out the day and puts my fb pixs on her comp screen at work, prints out her own pixs, and gets severly butt hurt if I tell my mom something about the kids day and not her also...

Maybe when she's being over bearing, kinda give a smile and tell her, *mom I got this*
Some people don't know when they're pushing too much... is this her 1st grand baby??
Maybe she dosnt know her role, since ur living there...
Its kinda hard I lived with my mom when I had my 1st, but I worked nights and was single. So for 5 hours a night, she was momma, and I was dad lol... I took care of him the rest of the day. When I wasn't in school. But those 5 hours was her time...
Maybe designate an hour or so?? So she can get her paws on lil 1? Maybe she'll losen up on u knowing she will have her *time* whenever...
