@Gina oh god I hadn’t even thought about that because I hadn’t given her any but exactly, what if I had! Yeah I’ll definitely do that, I wish I’d said something but I was just so taken aback x
Oh gosh, I feel your pain. I have a MIL from hell who calls my babies her babies and messages me constantly saying 'how are my babies doing?' and even refused to hand my 8 week old baby back to me once when I said I needed to breastfeed. She has made my life SO much harder and more stressful since I've become a Mum and I hate it. I am so jealous of my sister who's MIL lives hours away. 😂 Mine is 10 mins away 😖😫😫 sorry that I haven't got any advice but do have lots of sympathy!! Definitely get your partner to say something about the Calpol though because as mentioned before it could be dangerous! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ xx
She sounds insufferable. I’d talk to your husband and get him to have a word with her! About the medicine and everything
i personally would be furious and not holding it together. 1- you do not give ANYTHING to my infant without permission unless you are the mother or father. 2- you don’t try and belittle the parent, let alone in front of the child. that is toxic and reeks of jealousy. 3- you raised your kids, let me raise mine. 4- nobody invited you in the first place, go home. my baby is poorly and should be left to rest, not bothered and played with against my instruction. fair play mama, i’d of lost my raaaaag. but i’d get her son to speak to her about all the above and if she doesn’t listen to him or take it seriously then i’d be limiting visits until my baby is old enough to advocate for themselves (i want to sleep, i want medicine etc etc) to avoid her assuming and being so mindless again sounds like dad is on the same page as you so at least you bringing up these concerns will be ok, and hopefully you can stick by eachother and put out fires as a team taking a little pressure off xx
I wouldn't be happy about the calpol. What if you had already given some & it wasn't 4hrs? Why does she have calpol at her home anyways? I would get your partner to calmly say please do not give medicine in future unless asked. His mam, his problem.
