I sometimes feel smothered by my MIL. She's a lovely lady but a bit overbearing and I often feel anxious before visits.
I usually see my parents a couple/few times a week and of course baby is with me. I think MIL is sometimes jealous of my relationship with my Mum and thinks I spend most days with her (which I don't) and I always arrange to go and visit my inlaws once a week with baby.
MIL lives a couple of minutes away from her other GC and I think she sees them most days so I accept she thinks this is 'normal'.
Last week baby saw FIL four times and MIL twice. This is a lot more than usual but my DH took baby round on his own which was nice as he got to see his parents and I got a couple of hours off :)
I received a card with a little present from the IL's (which DH brought home) and MIL had written in it 'hope to see baby soon' ... which I found a bit odd after last weeks contact.
I also recieved a text a couple of hours after DH had got home asking if baby liked the gift. Which I think was sent to prompt me to send a 'thank you' message back. Which I did. But would have done off my own back anyway - but probably the next day.
I've been busy all week and tomorrow is the only day I don't have plans. They haven't asked to see baby but I'm feeling like I should arrange a visit.
AIBU to not arrange a visit tomorrow but suggest one next week?
I would just like a day to go shopping and catch up on my piles of ironing!
I guess the card and text has just hit a nerve with me :(
