Ok so my MIL is driving me up the wall and I'm not sure if it's just my hormones as I have recently had a new baby.
I also have a toddler. The toddler looks exactly like her Dad and is a lot more like him and his family than me. MIL would message every now and then saying how toddler is just like her Dad because she likes X,Y,Z. It annoyed me, but I know I was being unreasonable.
I had a baby a few weeks ago and everyone has commented and been shocked at how much she looks like me (obviously no one has met her in person). MIL is only one that hasn't said she looks like me. She has only made a couple of comments saying how she is like her Dad because baby won't take a dummy and like her Daughter because she won't let me put her down.
Suddenly MIL has started bombarding me with messages about how my eldest is like her because of so and so, she's like her Dad, she is like her Daughter. All the things are silly things like "she's just like me, she likes fuzzy felts", "she's just like her Dad, she loves hats, "she's just like auntie, she loves getting dressed and undressed". Pretty sure all these things are standard for any toddler.
I'm just trying to work out why she is suddenly like this? Could it be because of the new baby being like me, or possibly because she misses the eldest and wants to feel close to her etc.
Either way it's winding me up, but chances are it's hormones, I know I'm being ridiculous
