Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever felt the same?
I get on really well with dh family, but I'm feeling irritated after they visited us to see our newborn dd the other day.
Mil kept telling me what to do, I appreciate her advice normally but I just found myself annoyed. DD was hungry, I knew she was, but mil was sure she was just using her rooting reflex as she couldn't possibly be hungry as she only bf an hour ago. I tried to take her anyway but mil was adamant, only for dd to get really upset because she was hungry. I was also talking about how great and happy I feel, only for mil to say I would definitely get the baby blues. I understand this is completely normal to happen, but I didn't appreciate being told I would definitely get it.
I know I'm just being silly & unreasonable about this, but I'm struggling to let it go & not looking forward to her coming again. As I said, we usually get on well & are very close. Is it just my hormones? Thank you
