manipulative MIL

I think i'm going mad but feel my MIL is trying to prove she is top dog. She has an awful habit of just taking my children out of my arms without asking. I think i'm over protective as they were prem but surely you'd ask.. Anyway last weekend we stayed over and she came into the room as DH was making their milk and actually asked to take one of teh girls to bed to cuddle. I said he could after we'd fed them. She then went down stairs and asked DH if she could feed one of the girls promptly came upstairs, took one of my daughters (the one i was holding) and said she'd asked DH and was going to feed one. DH thinks i'm over reacting and i may be but i think she's manipulative and rude and that he's naive. AIBU??

Can I ask what nationality she is?

You poor lady - ur dh should be supporting you - I fear you have many problems ahead

I completely agree with what you have said about your dh and MIL- yanbu. You are the mother of your babies, and you are perfectly entitled to say no to your MIL. Don't go down the road of letting her take control of you and your family.

Thanks for all the messages!!! It's odd how others' experiences and perspectives can make you feel like you're not the only one going through unpleasantness!! I am determined to stand up for myself next time!!
