MIL is a bitch.

[Jellie2408]

My MIL is a cow. Not seen DD since she was 3 weeks old, even though she turned up randomly at the hospital as I was trying to push baby out and was very pushy majority of pregnancy! Fell out with DP for no reason and now when he rings her has a go about us not going to see her. The cars broke so the only way there is a 2 hour tram and bus journey. He always makes excuses usually using BF as an excuse, to which her response is to 'extract' the milk into bottles. She's so clueless it hurts me!!!! His nan has also commented that he should try and get me to put baby on formula as it's not fair. AIBU for not wanting to take my 5mo there? I also don't believe she will make her partner go outside to smoke which is another massive reason. Oh and I hate her that's also a big reason.
They make out like I'm an over bearing parent, his nan and uncle came the other day and stated that we need to get out without the baby well for some 'us' time.
We have us time when she's in bed why do I need to leave her to have us time?
It's sending me up the wall!!!!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint you but I really like my mother in law.

What is wrong with you?

I agree with PPs that if you don't like each other and now don't see each other, I'm not sure what the problem is.

If you don't want things to change, and fair enough if that suits you and your DP, then tell him you don't want to know what your MIL or other of his relatives are saying, about you, or your parenting.

Who cares if she's clueless? What does it matter if people want to try and see your baby without you when you know it's never going to happen?

Let it wash over you.

I can see why it's annoying having negative comments filtering through, but it doesn't have to happen. Tell you DP to deal with his mother/wider family, and that you don't need to hear about it.

Flappy
What is wrong with you?

I know, right? We don't have the same first language, I think that helps

Probably two sides to every story.

We're only hearing one.

I think toomychtooold's comments make a lots of sense.
Your DH needs to stop using excuses and show an united front with you and SUPPORT you breastfeeding. It's something amazing that you are doing for DC and the benefits will stay with him/her for life!
You are doing something fantastic but your DH's family can't understand that. Ignore their bad advice, but your DH has to be a team with you and DC.

Sorry that should say toomuchtooold
