I’ve always gotten on well with my sister in law (Hubbys brothers wife)
This year we both became first time mums.
Our children are 6 weeks apart (my son is 9 months old)
My sister in law recently seems to be extremely critical of everything I’m doing and it’s starting to grate on me.
We’re both currently weaning our babies and she’s always telling me how her daughter only eats fresh organic food and nothing processed.
Now I completely respect this by she’s making comments about the fact that I have given my son bread.
I’m really careful with salt and sugar but she insisted on telling me how bad it is for him and that I should make my own.
I feel like my son has a good diet, lots of fruit and veg, very little salt and sugar but whenever I tell her what he’s eaten, she tells me an alternative that I should’ve given to him.
For instance I told her we’d had some hummus with veg sticks and she Insisted I should’ve made my own as shop bought hummus isn’t good for him.
We did a family FaceTime over the weekend and we got talking about nurseries, I told her the one we’ve picked for my son and she shot it down saying they’d been to look around and they had concerns.
I asked her what they were and she said “oh it doesn’t matter, you’ve already decided there now but I’m surprised”
The thing is the nursery we’ve picked had an outstanding offsted report, the one they’ve picked is rated good.
I haven’t thought to say anything about this as I completely respect we’re all different and all look for different things.
She’s really making me start to doubt my choices now and I’m starting to feel like a rubbish mum.
My husband has told me to ignore her and not take any notice but she messages me several times a day and prior to the babies we always got along well.
I can’t help but feel she is purposely trying to make me feel bad.
