Well… it all started when my fiance and I met each other. His mom never really liked me I don’t think b/c she has always been sort of rude to me. Always telling me stuff like how I’m fake, and telling me all the stuff that is wrong w/ me. Recently, it has became alot worse b/c me and my fiance had our first baby… he is now 2 months old. When I was pregnant though, she was constantly down my throat about everything. Always giving me un-wanted advice and even criticizing me about my knowledge on parenting etc. Well I had no idea that it could get any worse, but it did. A month before I was due, my fiance and I had to move in w/ his parents b/c he got laid off from his job. When I had my baby shower, his mom and sister completely destroyed everything. They were rude to my family members and everything…. it was so embarrassing. And since I had my baby she is constantly telling me what I’m doing wrong and making her voice to sound like baby talk..she will then tell my son “mommy is just mean isn’t she” and immature stuff like that. She doesn’t respect my boundaries I have set w/ my son… instead she will either give me an attitude or snatch him out of my arms, without even asking. She is making me crazy and I am close to taking this too far b/c when it comes down to my son… all hell is going to break loose! My fiance never has my back when it comes down to this kind of stuff, and I assumed that he wouldn’t… he is a momma’s boy! All in all, does anybody know what the hell I can do? I don’t even want her around my son… she is evil and her personality cannot be trusted…bi-polar. Any advice???

my mil is horrible too. your right, when it comes to your baby, that is taking it too far. as far as your mil taking your baby from you, i would take him right back and say something like, “i would appreciate it if you would ask before taking MY son”. that usually works. sometimes, by my own experience, saying anything at all is usually better than saying nothing because then mil thinks its ok for her to act like that and it’s absolutley no ok. hope this helps!
IF IT IS POSSIBLE MOVE IN WITH YOUR PARENTS FOR A WHILE OR HAVE A FAM MEMBER BABY SIT WHILE YOU WORK. ANYTHING TO GET OUT OF THAT LIVING SITUATION. IT IS NOT OK THAT YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND DOES NOT STAND UP FOR YOU. HE IS A FATHER NOW AND THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD TRUMPS HIS MOMMY. IF HIS FULL TIME JOB IS NOT LOOKING FOR A JOB AND A WAY TO GET YOU AND HIS CHILD OUT OF HIS PARENTS HOUSE THEN YOU NEED TO TAKE MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS.
Get the hell out of there. Good luck! I’m so sorry you are going through this!
