My mother in law and I have had problems for years. We have just had our first child and she is driving me mad. We went there yesterday for lunch and when he cried she wouldnt let me have him back, even to feed (she told me to just express and she would do it!) she is insisting that when he is old enough to talk he call her mama, and keeps telling me that I am doing everything wrong (she says breast feeding is bad, picking him up when he cries is bad etc) I feel almost like she is trying to push me out of the picture and I dont like that, its going to sound stupid, but I definitely dont want the baby calling her mama. She is an alcoholic and I really dont want her near him, but thats not really an option. How do I get her to back off and let me be a mother?
