My DS is 9 days old and I’m starting to get back to feeling good and get over the baby blues however my mum is causing me so much stress!
To cut a long story short I was brought up by my dad since I was about 2 and rarely (3/4 times a year) saw my mum through my own choice. She would never make the effort to visit, and if I went to see her we wouldn’t do anything but watch tv.
Fast forward to now and she has said she will come to see me and DS at the weekend, if she can get a lift (it’s 2hrs) or she’ll get the train. She has never visited my home before and doesn’t know where we live. She doesn’t work and it’s really irritating me that she has to plan so far in advance to visit. She also keeps tagging DH and I in posts on Facebook about ‘grandmas house’ like endless cuddles and always free babysitting etc. Which is really grating in me because she is absolutely nothing like that and is just posting for her friends to see. She pestered me from the day I gave birth if she could announce it on fb and then she posted the photos I had sent her. She keeps asking for more photos but I can’t bear to send her them just so random people on her fb can see them.
I know I’m being a bit ranty but I really don’t know how to deal with her. I have just blocked her out of my life really but I don’t want to prevent her having a relationship with my DS if she makes the effort. Please help!!
