AIBU for being deeply upset by this comment ?

[blueyavocado]

Mother in law said to my partner 'no wonder she's fat she sleeps 16 hours a day' I have a 2 month old baby I used to be 52kg and now 62kg , because I've just had a baby. I feel absolutes devistated , am I being unreasonable for feeling absolutely devistated and calling her a narcissistic cow .

My partner seems reluctant until we have figured out our finances , but I think we'll be fine there is a lot of support out there for parents

A couple of things to add .

formula feeding is failing - blending McDonald’s is . Putting yourself under such stress to feed isn’t good for you or the baby.

You say what he said to you. He needs to shut her down .

You do need to get out .

Ok clearly what she said was awful but why the sleeping 16 hours a day comment? What’s the back story here?

Your partner told you that you're beautiful and to ignore her.

What did he say directly to her though?

I had a nap for 3 hours between feeds in the afternoon , i tend to have a nap in the afternoon as I probably get 3-4 hours of sleep in the night . She doesn't like it as she said she survived on 2-3 hours sleep at night for years. Sometimes she gets my partner to wake me from my nap

People always forget how hard it is with a newborn. And 2 months is no time at all, you are just coming out of the symbiotic period!!!

She is mean. Your BF is right, don't listen to her. And I hope that he tells her to shut up. I wouldn't tolerate that at all...

I hope that you can sort out your living arrangements asap.

Are you on housing waiting lists, etc? The baby will push you up a little.

She doesn’t want you there.

We need to get on one , I was on one before he was born but got taken off it once I moved in with my DPs family . I feel it's doable to move out, bur my partner really wants to make sure we have lots of savings before we do

If I were you I'd get on the housing list on my own with the baby and tell my partner he can stay at his mum's house and save if he prefers.
