@Grace she does know what's going on but I just haven't been keeping her up to date day to day because whenever I've spoken to her about it she's just seemed judgmental of my partner and seems to think that because he's a dad he should just snap out of it which obviously isn't helpful lol
Sounds like my mom. I would let her be and she’ll probably come around when she wants to interact with her grandchild. Sometimes you can’t reason with old people. It sucks
Yeah not helpful and not what you need, I agree with above just wait for her to make the first move
It sounds like your mum hasn’t been very helpful in all of this but maybe having a conversation where you sit down with her and explain what’s been happening and how she can help you would be good. I felt the same with my mum many times when my little boy was younger but I never actually told her how I felt or what she could do to help me. My mum passed away very suddenly when my little boy was 6 months old. Have the conversation, get the support you need but also build up that honest relationship with her, all you can do is give it a try. I wish I had x
I agree, your mum being passive aggressive isn't what you need right now and I think you're right to call her out on that behaviour. The only thing I would say is, is it fair to punish your mum for her behaviour when it's mainly bothering you because of your personal life, which she has no idea about? I don't know your relationship or history but maybe consider talking to her and explaining that right now you really need some positivity and support because you have stuff going on (even if you say you can't tell her what).
