Am I being sensitive?

You're not being sensitive. I keep being told how my kiddo looks like her dad and his mum says he looks like her (my daughter's nan) and it kinda feels like she's taking the credit for her? She keeps saying "yea those are my eyes" etc and it gets on my last nerve. If someone was just to comment on his parenting, then it would really annoy me too. Maybe it's just us, but I really don't think it is. We work so hard and it's nice to hear how well we are doing.
Like the other ladies said, you’re not being sensitive. I’d say that’s in laws for you lmao. You just have to let their comments roll straight off your back, in order for their comments to not get to you & for you to maintain mental peace! X
Oh I’m in the same boat. That’s the in-laws for you and I think it’s their way of convincing themselves of their connection to a grandchild/children as it’s not as connected as maternal grandparents. When I say not as connected I meant in a way that I look after my LO while my husband works and tend to ask for help/advice from my own Mum than an in law. It’s just natural to have a closer connection with maternal grandparents (if the relationship is good). It does get on my wick that they constantly are trying to take all the credit for LO’s looks and personality and never said anything about my parenting, just that their son is a great Dad. One example- LO sucks her thumb when she’s tired and they kept saying she got it from her uncle (hubbys twin brother) despite knowing that I used to do this as a baby!? Bizzare. You aren’t being oversensitive but just ignore it.. they are just trying to convince themselves and pick your battles
You are not being sensitive, I hate when grandparents compare etc. My niece is 6 months older and in laws constantly compare both girls. I usually interject and tell them how unhealthy it is and its great that they are different, they should be different!
