Hi everyone. I have never posted in anything like this before but I am so stressed out and upset. My evening has been ruined by yet another comment by my husbands mother.....the declaration that my daughter’s child minder is my child’s favourite woman in the world. It feels malicious. A few weeks ago it was my daughters birthday, I made her a cake. We visited friends who also made my daughter a cake. The cake my friend made was lovely and my husband happened to show his mother a picture. She took to opportunities to run it in that my friend had made my daughter her best birthday cake. She gets jealous when my daughter comes to me for comfort and if we’re in the company of others who ask me questions about my child, she answers them for me. I can’t tell anymore if I’m making a big deal out of nothing because I now have so much animosity towards her or if she genuinely is being nasty. I once confronted her about a situation and she made me feel like I was being silly for being upset. I am trying to keep the peace but i am on the point of exploding. I don’t know what to do.
