A bit of a background first, I am a first time mum to a lovely 9 week old ds. I am Indian and my oh is French. Ever since the baby arrived i find my in laws behaviour very obsessive and intrusive. My in laws are separated so they visit us separately. My FIL was visiting us over the weekend and i found his behaviour very obsessive, eg I was giving my baby a massage and a bath my FIL was standing by my side all the time and watching all the time, when i am breastfeeding he keeps watching too, do other mommies find this wierd?? I personally find it invasion of my private space so when i discussed this including several other things with my oh he said i am being too oversensitive and said it is a cultural difference and since my FIL is only visiting for 3 days he wants to spend as much time as possible with baby. I do realize this and I gave ds to FIL to play with, cuddles and all a lot of time, so much so that ds dint sleep since 7am to 1pm and was completely over excited and tired. I would like to know what other mommies think is it a cultural difference plus obsessiveness or am i being too sensitive or a bit of both?
