FIL follows my every move
Show your support
Idc who the person is, if someone did that to me I'd kindly tell them to back off
@Zoi I do think it out of love for the baby He’s really happy to be a grandpa but oh gosh I’m get tired of him orbiting around me
@Moira I’ll say excuse me like 10 times and all he will say is “it’s your fault for making a cute baby, I can’t help my self”
Maybe sit him down to explain that it’s not very helpful etc. but other than that, it’s a blessing to have people loving your baby so much ❤️
My FIL is that way too. So I found the good in it and let myself have the break. I'll usually ask if it's okay for me to run to the store or do some errands. He's always happy to watch baby. Then I'll go get a coffee and take my time (max 2 hours).
@incog I'd be like "I appreciate that you love your grandkid and I know he's cute, I made him.. but I'm also his mother and I need some space to do my mom things... if I need help, I'll let you know.. im not incapable of doing things just because I'm holding him. Please respect me, my son and our personal space.. thank you"
Just giving a different perspective here… how was your FIL raised? Maybe by a single mother? Maybe he thinks you need/want all that help and doesn’t realize it’s overkill? When I’m with certain people in my family, they can be a little bit much but then I remember that they handle children differently than other family members do. An honest and kind convo would definitely help 💙
Take the help . It’s well Intended
That does sound like a lot…and I thought my mom was obsessed with my son. I hope it’s only because he just loves that baby so much and nothing sinister. I don’t mean to put any thoughts in your head. Just mentioning it as a precaution
