I need to know if iabu thinking this way. I've NC incase I out myself.
Dd who is 3 has a neurological disorder and it will never get better, she has recently needed glasses full time and an inhaler as and when needed.
Ddad adores dd more so than any of the other dgc which is a totally different thread.
So today my dm calls and out of the blue asks why I am giving dd the inhaler for longer than the Dr said I should I was and said no the Dr said to give it UP to 4 times a day, she then says its ddad that's asked because he doesn't like the thought of me hooking her up to a machine? (It's a little face mask that the inhaler goes into so she gets the dose) when she doesn't need it?
I was confused and said it wasn't a machine it's just an applicator of sorts and that I hadn't even given it to her lately as she hasn't needed it (the inhaler is a reliever).
I find I've just come to my point of being annoyed into anger and hurt and possibly a bit offended. Dd is a sickly dc, she's always got something, she's got d & v at the moment which I took her to a & e for yesterday. Apparently that's my fault as I let them run around naked all the time? only before a bath Ffs.
Ddad has said I'm forcing her to wear glasses when she obviously doesn't need them! She went to an eye hospital who said she needed glasses, then her consultant said she needs glasses then a separate opticians prescribed her glasses to wear full time so I don't know how he has come to that idea.
Anyway tonight after my dm saying about the inhaler I got upset and said "yes your right I'm intentionally giving dd medication she obviously doesn't need, I begged the optician for glasses for her, seriously mum I'm doing the best I can with dd and I don't need dad constantly saying I'm a crap mother " dm just changed the subject and we carried on with other conversation.
I then had a cry to DH as I feel guilt enough as it about dd condition and I don't need someone who I love and trust basically saying I'm doing a shit job and forcing mess on her.
AIBU to feel like this?
