AIBU to point this out when MIL is helping?

[hairymclairy2]

I've recently had a baby and it was a c-section birth. DH has gone back to work and I'm home all day with the baby and DS (2).

My MiL has been coming round to help me during the day and she's been great. We get along so well. She's been helping with housework and grocery shopping (I give her the money for it) but best of all, she's cooking for us! I don't have the energy to think about what I want to eat let alone make it.

She leaves just before DH comes home from work and she's left our dinner in the oven. She's a great cook but the problem is...there's a hair in every meal. DH has joked with me that 'whoever finds the hair wins a prize!'. I find it really offputting but he just picks it out when he finds it and carries on with his meal.

AIBU to ask the woman going out of her way to help us to tie her hair up when cooking??

What a darling she is. It’s so lovely to see a positive Mil story here.

I'd just remove it and carry on.
If you end up having postpartum hair loss, it may be yours you'll soon be digging out

She sounds amazing, don't rock this boat!

It does turn my tummy, but not worth mentioning. If your DH chooses to say something, that's up to him.

That's fairly grim to be honest OP. If I were you, I'd get DH to have a word with his mother about finding a hair in the last meal that she prepared.

You could do it from a kitchen hygiene point of view when you're preparing the baby's bottle or whatever and all stray hairs are a no-no as a result.

Perhaps can you get some of those disposable hats or nets or even a shower cap and use them in the kitchen while you're preparing food?? If she sees that you're wearing them, then she shouldn't feel singled out.
