Our lo was born 5 days ago, and already MIL has made me so angry. She came to the hospital and while holding our daughter made numerous rude comments. I don't think DH overheard because he was talking to my dad, but my mom and I did. She was saying that she was going to trade in my daughter for a different one. She thinks she's just hilarious but she's not funny at all. Then she proceeds to talk about how the baby got her blue eyes from grandma, not mom, and how she's going to kidnap her and take her to live with her. I was extremely offended, but didn't want her to ruin our moment so didn't say anything at the time.
Fast forward to today. She wanted to come over and told DH that she would watch her while we got some sleep. I was very reluctant, especially after the comments she'd made at the hospital, but told DH it was fine as long as we kept our bedroom door open. DD got fussy, so MIL came and woke me up to feed her. Once I started talking to her though, she calmed down. I said "Can I take her to feed her?" And MIL said no. I was so dumbfounded that I didn't say anything back, and now I'm furious with myself that I didn't just take her. She's my daughter.
Since I was up, I decided to make some lunch and let DH sleep. That's when I see an open beer can on the counter. I'm so mad! We trusted her with our daughter while we slept, and she couldn't even go an hour without drinking. I immediately woke DH up, thinking he'd go off on her and he didn't. I'm never ever going to feel comfortable leaving my daughter with her alone and I am just so angry right now.
