To still feel angry over this?

I just wondered how others would feel about this.

For context this happened a couple of years ago, but I still feel annoyed when I think about it, there have been other things too which may add to my annoyance and general mistrust.

When ds was a baby he was a really bad sleeper, wasn't easy to get him down for a nap either.

Once when he was around 6 months old mil was watching him for a few hours, when dh and I got back, mil announced that she'd been pushing him around in his pushchair to get him to sleep but he wouldn't give in. They have a conservatory with direct sunlight beaming through. She told me grinning that she'd "been a bit wicked" and she'd positioned his buggy with the sun in his eyes to force him to close his eyes so he'd go to sleep.

At the time I didn't say anything, I'm shit at confrontation and was quite taken aback. I told dh later but he didn't say anything. I regret not saying something at the time, I wouldn't bother bringing it up now, but when I think about it I still get really annoyed that she did that.

I could list all the other things where her judgement has been poor and I know people would agree, but I'm just wondering how people would feel about that specific thing.

Had a quick count (I’m bored Grin) and it’s approx 27:18 in the responses.
