A little background info so I don't drip feed:
DS is 16mo and our first baby, I'm still breastfeeding, morning and bedtime plus any daytime feeds he wants.
My MIL has been in hospital for a couple of weeks with a respiratory illness, she is back home now and doing well.
Yesterday my DH took DS to see his parents, staying overnight and back home later today. All totally fine, I had arranged to meet up with friends, have a bit of 'me time' and have a lie in. Lovely. I felt a bit worried about DS staying away without me but only because this is the first time he's stayed away from me for longer than only a night. I knew he'd be totally fine with DH and PIL.
Anyway, I rang my DH last night at a time that I knew DS would be in bed, started making conversation and asking a few questions: How was he? Did he have a nice day? What did you get up to? What did he have for dinner? etc etc....in the background I hear my MIL laughing "You can talk to him if you like" meaning my DS, then my FIL saying "he had vindaloo, lager and rice for dinner", which my DH repeated to me.
At this point I got really upset, started crying down the phone and told my DH he was being a knob and all I wanted to know was some basic info about our son, it was the first time he'd stayed away and I was missing him. I just wanted to know how he was. I told my DH that I was also upset by him and PIL making fun of me ringing and asking what (I thought) were normal questions for a parent to ask.
In short I was really upset, and still am. Was IBU to ask questions like dinner/bedtime/general well being? Am I being precious? I didn't ring this morning, DH rang me and told me what time DS had slept till and what he had for breakfast....
