How to act?

So whenever we are coming to visit grandma she’ll be waiting next to the door and as soon as I enter she’ll grab the baby from my hand without permission, I understand she’s excited but I hate it and my son doesn’t like it either he needs few minutes to observe the place or people. Today it happened again she was gonna grab the baby from my hands as soon as we entered from the door, my baby started to cry and I kept him in my hands I said he wants to stay with me right now and kept walking inside ( I could say something more meaningful but I just exploded) Basically she has this habit to keep him on hands even when he cries and doesn’t enjoy it, sometimes he’s fine but when he’s not why to force him and how would you act?

Show your support

An in law used to do this and me and I shouted “give me my fucking baby back right now” and she never did it again. I hate confrontation but sometimes they just need to be told bluntly

@Lara ooof you are my kinda person, i love that!

@Sinead usually I’m a wimp but those post partum hormones must’ve take over😂

Oh I like it too Lara, I wish I had the balls to say it haha. Because of this I was awake four hours last night while my baby slept like an angel 😣😅 my MIL does these things and it’s just so annoying

Honestly hormones will take over if you don’t end up saying something while you are calm. I went off on my mom before too when they kept trying to force my daughter to eat mashed potatoes at under 4 months old and I wasn’t comfortable with it and they kept pushing even when I said no I yelled “she is MY BABY” I looked insane but holy fuck BACK OFF

Honestly, I wish I had in-laws who did this lol but you gotta do what makes you and your baby comfortable. My baby still cries when given to my in-law, she sits and waits patiently for my baby but she isn't the most maternal and naturally has a deep voice so my baby isn't happy with her but that's still her nan, she loves her and won't be around for long.

When I imagine this situation happening I imagine myself responding like Lara lol. Unleash the Mama Bear 🐻😂

Have a conversation about it before you go back over there.

I honestly don’t know how to deal with in laws, I can feel that she doesn’t care about me it’s like I’m not there and she is the mother taking over with the baby, that’s the feeling I get when she acts. My baby doesn’t always like it, he’s very attached to me
