I posted this in my birthboard and a few mamas auggested i come over here so here I am...
Ok ladies so I've been married for 3 yrs. I have a beautiful baby girl who will be 2 in September. This is the issue. My mil and I relationship has always been a little strained we have a similar attitude and neither usually budges. I've had problems with her talking about me behind my back and also her having issues when it came to dh and I relationship and how we conduct our relationship and household. Now with all that being said. This is where the issue lies...
Yesterday she called and asked for our dd.. she lives a few houses over so very close. She came and picked her up. We was packing since we're about to move and we ran out to grab a pizza. We stopped to her house on our way back and she showed us a cute little video of our dd laughing. Ok now here's the problem. In the video she is clearly giving my baby a pepsi. A damn Pepsi.. That's a no no. I've asked her on several occassions not to give my child soda because it's not good for her and I don't want her to have it. I brought it up again and she snubbed it off. We left and came back and I decided to talk to her about it. I told her how I have a problem with it and I don't want her to have it I don't give it to her and I don't want anyone else to give it to her. She has been going against my wishes behind my back for a while now and every time I say something she acts as if what I say don't matter when it comes to my child. So we were going back and forth expressing our thoughts and she pretty much told me as long as my child is over there and she is drinking it she is going to give it to her and she's not gonna stop. She said if I don't like it then to just part ways and as much as she loves her grand daughter she just won't see her if it's that big of a problem because she's not gonna stop. She said she respects my wishes and I said if you respected my wishes then you would stop doing it and and she said she's not gonna lie and say she wouldn't do it because she's gonna continue to do it... all the I'll things that went through my head when dealing with that lady. Nothing got solved other than she will not be keeping my child anymore. And she called her son upstairs to grab her pack and play that she sat in the hall because we left it there for when she's there. So granny wants to be petty and now I really can't stand that lady.. Any thoughts ladies?
