Hi I’ve came to Mumsnet for some opinions on my daughters paternal grandmother. I think she is massively jealous and wanted to be number one grandparent as it is her first I also think she is very toxic with some of the things she has said in the past. Sorry it’s a long one!
She doesn’t come to my parents house where my and baby live because ‘ the baby won’t look at her if we are around ‘ ‘ I should be aloud to have her by myself ‘ My mum was buying whites for the baby ‘ you don’t buy untill you know the gender’ She was waiting around places when I was getting my scans so she could get a photograph first. In hospital when I just had baby ‘ she phoned to ask when I was announcing it on social media so she could quickly’. She came to visit the baby at my parents house (where baby is living) She ignored my parents couldn’t even look at them. She kept repeating that baby had wind and asked which way I was winding her. She made a comment when she left holding baby her words were ‘ I don’t know how anyone could harm a baby’ which was very weird to come out with. Then.. the second last time she visited me and my mum were talking about giving water to baby when she is older. Paternal grandmother interrupted basically shouting ‘ apparently your not meant to give them water such and such a midwife said’ Then made a passive aggressive comment when she was getting up and leaving ‘ I best get up and do something’ which I think was aimed at my parents because they were sat there.
What do people think of this? Am I over reacting being paranoid or is this normal behaviour?
