So, I have a bit of a delicate relationship with my MIL with a huge back story of her being a PITA so I need to see whether I am being precious or not.
So DC1 is 2 and it transpires that MIL has been spoon feeding them - not just when they struggle to scoop something but actually sitting in front of them doing 'here comes the aeroplane' type feeding.
I saw this the other day and I said something along the lines of 'DC you are big now, you can feed yourself', she said 'I like to help' and I kind of laughed and said 'helping is okay but come on DC I know you can do it' thinking MIL would get the message.
The same day I saw her doing it again (we were with her all day!), and I said 'now come on grandma shouldn't be doing that for you, feed yourself please' - MIL literally blanked me and carried on doing it.
Now, am I making a fuss over nothing? - I have no perspective when it comes to her as she has annoyed me on too many occasions. DC was BLW so has been feeding herself since 6 months with me but I know my mum found it odd and couldn't help spoon feeding her but hasn't done that for a year now.
It is making me angry thinking about it but I don't know whether to pick my battles BUT DC is starting to ask to be fed like that and that annoys me even more. Agghhhhh.
