MIL getting worse

[Katey94]

So, I know I only posted a couple of days ago about my MIL driving me crazy with DD but she’s getting worse. Today she called me and I didn’t answer the phone because DD was crying so I text her to let her know it wasn’t a good time with baby crying and she continued to call & call .. when I eventually called her back she was pressuring me to come stay with her for a few days with DD and when I said no she begged like a child .. like “ oh please please please “ so irritating, again I said no that I wasn’t ready and had DD routined and she said “ oh you can’t keep doing that! Babies don’t stay in routines so you need to snap out of it! Send me photos of the formula and nappies you use and I’ll get them in for when you stay” like how dare she tell me what I can and can’t do with my daughter and try to force me into things … DH agrees she’s being too much but she still won’t stop … what else can I do without screaming at her

Stop answering her calls and texts. Put your phone on silent abs get your DH to get her to back off.

Block her most of the time. Release the block if you ever need to talk to her. She can deal with her own son.

Stop answering the phone to her. Tell DH to go and stay with her.

Block her calls, emails, texts. unfriend her on any social media. Scan any calls to your house phone.

Have your DH make it quite clear to his DM that she has gone too far and she needs to back right off. You have to draw a line in the sand or your life won't be your own.

That sounds really overbearing, poor you.
Just ask your husband to tell her you are not ready for any sleepovers with your DD. Keep your cool and keep your distance for now as much as you can. Is she lonely? Does she have much in her life keeping her busy and occupied? How often do you see her? Just ensure you see her when you DH is also there, let him deal with her.

This is insane. DH needs to get serious with her. Why on earth would you see her at all if she’s going to act so bizarrely. He needs to tell her your entire relationship with her is on the line unless she calms down and agrees to one pre-arranged visit once a week for two hours (or whatever).

That’s absolutely infuriating for her, it’s hard enough dealing with a crying baby - never mind a grown adult constantly calling and begging while that’s going on.

Your DH needs to speak to her. This is not OK. Definitely agree with blocking her

I mean for YOU sorry, I’m typing with a hot toastie in my hand

This is awful!!! You def need to set some serious boundaries ASAP!!!

Why on earth does she need you to stay over!
