MIL lives miles away and is on her own since FIL died. we see her about twice a month, but because she is so lonely she is very possessive of DS almost to the point of obsession. i barely see DS for the whole time we are with her and if not for breastfeeding him she makes me feel totally redundant. she's even pushing for us to go away on holiday and leave DS with her - he's only 4months old! i'm now at the point wher i really resent seeing her and have become snappy and possessive over DS. I know she'd be so upset if she knew i felt like this, but why do i feel so jealous - especially as i'd gladly leave DS with my mum for days on end?!
