Tetchy relationship with mil for many reasons, mainly because she is very attention seeking and demanding and has been difficult since ds was born 6 years ago.
Ds was a tricky baby, he had a traumatic birth, was prem and had colic and reflux. He was not a good sleeper to say the very least. I'm now pregnant again. Saw MIL at the weekend and conversation went as follows:
Mil: you spoilt him that's why he wouldn't sleep.
Me: you can't spoil a baby.
Mil: you should have just left him to cry.
Me: you can leave a newborn to cry.
Mil: well that's what I'll be doing when I have dc2. They've got to learn.
Me: not when they're newborn!
Mil: suit yourself, don't learn from your mistakes then. You obviously went wrong somewhere last time. I had four babies and they all slept beautifully.
Me (sadly only thinking it): fuck off!
Who on earth does she think she is? My parents would never ever speak to dh like that. Why does she think it's ok to say 'I obviously went wrong somewhere.'
She is full of such scathing comments. Oh and she used to call herself 'mummy' when ds was a baby. As in 'come to mummy.'
Cannot stand it!

To be fed up with my MIL and her rude advice?
