My ds is 18 months and fil called him a mummy's boy when ds came over to me and gave me a cuddle. Fil didn't say it warmly it was as if he was jealous ds was cuddling me & not him, even though dh & i had spent the whole visit sitting back and letting them play with ds. I just ignored his comment but wonder if he's going to make a habit of saying it and if he does should i carry on ignoring him?

pil do get to me at times as they can be difficult and often makes stupid comments that annoy us or try to belittle us. The pair of them are quite controlling.

Spandex, i occasionally do say things to fil but you can tell when they next visit mil is really on edge, sometimes with fil and mil they say things that quite literally stun you..with mil it is best to be firm and stick to what you have decided & be polite but to him i'm often so angered by what he has said i firmly voice my opinion whilst shaking with anger and wanting him to drop dead as soon as poss, awful i know to say, knowing my luck he'll be around till he's 100(now 57)
If it wasn't for dh & ds i really wouldn't want to see either of them ever again.

Sorry, rant over. Maybe his mum didn't love him the way i love my ds.

I think it's really great when your dc show you/dh affection, it really makes my day if it's towards me Or dh
