I'm mainly here to rant but also genuinely would like to know if I'm just being majorly over-sensitive. Both mine and my DH's family are driving me crazy! It is a lot worse since I had my DD 4 months ago.
My family: my Mum is blow hot blow cold constantly about spending time with DD then makes out I don't make an effort to keep in touch (I message every other day at least), my Dad keeps telling me how to parent even though he wasn't in my life for most of my childhood and my sister seems to think I should jump through hoops to see her and family 1.5 hours away even though they have only been to my house twice in the 4 years I've lived here (been to their house countless times).
DH's family: PIL constantly telling us what we are doing wrong (we need a bigger house, we need to save more money, we need to get the garden done etc etc) but sun shines out of his sister's a** when we are actually in a much better position than her in lots of ways! MIL condescends me about parenting choices such as not weaning DD yet "oh it's coz you're a new Mum you'll learn...you just think you're Mother earth at the moment don't you". Everything is about appearances so she can show off to her friends about the jobs, cars, house etc her kids have and it drives me mad! Latest one is we should make a parking spot for them when they come to visit so they don't have to park on the road a whole 20 metres away from the house 🙄. There is always something, it's constant.
Maybe I'm just sleep deprived and moody but is anyone else's family like this? I just want to say to DH we won't see any of them too much anymore to be honest. When I try to speak to them about how they make me feel I'm either ignored or told I'm being over-sensitive.
