I find coming on here when you need a rant about something really helps. really sorry if you saw my previous, similar, post and are thinking just bore off! I just want some perspective.
I just feel in laws and sister in law are trying to compete with me when it comes to my DD. The latest is they all came to ours a few weeks back and mil was completely taken back by how many toys she has at ours (really not that many, just a very nice selection though). She kept banging on how her toys were rubbish and no wonder my DD doesn't like it at hers, which is tota rubbish, DD is only 8 months she hasn't got a clue at the moment about what's what!!! Anyway she banged on and on about her toys and our toys, most of the night just bringing it up. A week later she's gone and bought 3 new light up sound toys for her house and SIL has bought 2 lots of new toys and each time she has posted them on Facebook saying 'more toys for nannys'. It's not a competition is it?!?
They also got wind that I had started to get a few bits for my DD birthday in September, purely so I'm not stung with a big bill. Now SIL has called shots on a car she wants to get her already, actually one I wanted to get but never mind. she knows we are planning to get a trike for her and she's looking online for cheap ones and suggesting which ones to buy! They are so controlling I am sick of it. Why can't they be normal and leave us to it, buy a present nearer the time like every other family member and don't call shots!
