I dont usually get into "debate" threads, but this one hits home, BIG!
STAND YOUR GROUND WITH M I L!!!!
I have been married for 24 years and my MIL has been playing that game with me since BEFORE we were married. I have stood my ground and she finally realizes that she does not "control"... just remember, it is very hard for a mother to let another woman take her son! It is a defense mechanism...
I had to play this game with my daughter AND my pups... she tried to push me out of raising my daughter MY WAY and constantly whines about my dogs.
I have had to tell her many times to "stay home" because she constantly whines about my dogs(I have 5). My hubby has had talks with her about and told her to just keep her thoughts to herself, or stay home!
After a few times, she learned and she stopped whining about the pups....
I have always been nice about it, but still STAND MY GROUND.... Like someone else said, she is trying to prove a point here, but you need to prove yours too.... it will work out, its a great thing that he is with you on this...
Stay Home, Love your Baby and have a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!
