My in laws live 4 hrs away and visit for about 2 hours 1-2 times a month as they pass through the area when traveling. I have a 10 month old ds who obviously doesn't see them alot and is also going through the typical separation anxiety from mom phase. When my in laws stopped by this weekend my baby freaked out, was hysterically crying, looking at them like he did not know them and was scared. I have never seen him cry so hard and he had his arms reached out for me for most of the time. My inlaws kept holding him and would not give him back, my mil said you need to feed him he is hungry and I said no he is not, it is not time to eat then my fil kept making comments saying this boy has you trained, he knows if he crys you come running. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and rescued my son. I hated watching him hysterically scream for me, it hurt my heart, but I also wanted to try and let them spend time with him. I don’t want to do that again, but I don't know how to handle it differently without seeming too crazy. In addition, my fil told my dh today on the phone that my ds was fine when I left the room and was only crying when I returned since he has me trained which is not true, I never left the room. I'm am very annoyed my their comments, should I be or am I being too sensitive?
