Inlaws and child care arguement

I was wondering if could have some opinions on my current situation. I haven't really spoke to my inlaws since December, when they complained I didn't take my then 6 month old round enough, even though she had major feeding problems. Prior to us falling out they were going to have my daughter one day a week once I went back to work. After the arguement I decided to put her in nursery both days I work, with Husbands blessing. Nothing was mentioned to inlaws til today when MIL asked, when I told her she stormed off crying and when I said to my Husband to speak to her she said she didn't want anything to do with either of us again only our DD. Is her reaction justified or is she over overreacting in ppls opinion? TIA

Well if she has dumped you +dh she can't expect to see dd either. Leave her to her tantrums. You already have one dc to deal with...

Thank you, it is nice to hear I'm not been out of order which I know I'm not but still thanks 😀

Keep your DD in the childcare you have arranged
Ignore your MiL, do you need that drama in your life?

As if a parent would allow someone who refused to speak to them to see their child. It’s preposterous.

I’ve never understood why grandparents want to have their grandchildren without the parents. My own mother has a great relationship with my dc but she usually sees them when I’m there too as I’m her daughter. She wants to see me as well!

Keep your child in paid childcare. It sounds like youd have no end of drama if you let her do it.

Thanks all, would be difficult to see DD without me as 11 months old....families just seem to cause dramas at times dont they. Same with my mum she sees me and my daughter together as enjoys seeing us both xx

Maybe ask them to come round when dh is there at weekend sand all can see each other

Ignore her and stick to the childcare you have in place. If you let her take care of your child you will be embarking on a whole world of conflict, undermining and tantrums. Not worth it.

I will definitely be keeping to keeping her in childcare regardless of the additional cost as a parent you can only do what you thinks best for your child and I'm sure she will love nursery
