Most background is my awful Mil and DuH but this post is actually about my MOO.
This is where I need your opinion.
My mother has been asking for pictures of my ds. As in I text them to her because she misses him. Well I discovered today she has been forwarding pictures/videos to other family members without asking. I don't have anything against the family she is sending them to but I'm a little upset that she is doing it. I feel that if these members want to see ds then they can make those arrangements with me.
I asked my mother to stop, politely. She told me I was being unreasonable. They love him and would just like to see him as much as she does (MOO came by to see him, yesterday!) so I don't appreciate her pulling the 'never get to see ds' card. If she had it her way she'd see him everyday. Ds is 10 months old. We still have yet to leave him with a sitter besides when we both used to work. I'm a SAHM now and dh works so I never need a sitter. Mom keeps telling me I need time to myself, I need a date night with dh, and that I really just need to send my ds to grandmas house regularly for a 'break.'
I agree everyone needs time but we enjoy having our ds with us. He goes to sleep at 7:30, and naps twice a day. I have plenty of 'me' time. As his mother, I believe I should leave him when I'm ready. She shouldn't be forceful of the issue.
Is this the beginning of over stepping? I feel she's being a bit overbearing? What would you do? I'm used to a crazy mil and my mom isn't nearly as overbearing. I'm just fearing she is starting to be like mil and I'm to blind to see it.
