I got married three years ago and now we have a six-month-old son. We are raising a child, and we are being raised by our mother-in-law. My mother-in-law was always trying to interfere in our lives. What kind of character is that? Sometimes it just drove me out of balance.
And after the birth of our grandson, our grandmother completely lost her temper. She kept saying that I didn’t know anything about children. I understand when they want to give me advice, but, forgive me, not in an imperious manner. After I complained to my husband, he decided to talk to her. But there was peace for exactly a week. And then she started again. As soon as my mother crosses the threshold of the apartment, she immediately runs to the child. Hasn’t she heard of basic hygiene rules? Once I made a remark about this, and she was so offended, as if I had told her something completely shameful.
When I feed or bathe my son, my mother-in-law always has something to say: “Who does that! You don’ t know how to do anything at all! Let me do it! Learn while I’m alive…”
Once our “super-grandmother” was so carried away with her teaching that she almost caused a disaster. The child choked on his porridge. I grabbed my son out of her hands and began to do everything I could to get him to cough it up. How scared I was then! This incident was the cause of our scandal. My mother-in-law started screaming and getting ready to go home, while calling her son. You should have heard her complaining about me… For a long time husband did not want to talk to me.
Now the situation at home is so depressing. His mother has turned me into a monster. What do I have to do to make my husband understand me and stop defending his mother? I don’t want to fight with him because of her, but I’m not ready to tolerate it either.
