My ds3 is just 2 weeks old (older ds's are 8 and 5). MIL was quite over bearing when older ds' were babies taking over and telling me what they wanted/liked/disliked etc. With ds3 she's taken this to a whole new level she's bought a moses basket, bouncer chair,steriliser, bottles, nappies, bath,milk and clothes all to keep at her house. Before I finished on Mat leave she had my older 2 alot whilst I was at work and for this I am eternally grateful but I'm not due back in work til Jan so I really don't know why she feels she needs all this baby gear at her house.
She rang earlier to say she's off work tomorrow so she'll have the baby all day! Wtf???? What does she expect me to do all day why she's got my kids?? I feel like I can't say no and I don't want this to become a regular thing where she thinks she can look after the baby every time she has a day off.
Am I being unreasonable or over reacting here? I know she means well but I really don't relish the idea of sitting watching the clock all day waiting for him to come home (she will keep him all day and only bring him home at bedtime ).
