My son is 3 mos & been cooing & starting to babble. My mother in law has taken it upon herself to utilize the time that she spends with him to repeatedly sing " I love you" to him. After an hour with him, she said, he said " I love you" to her. I know that he never said that to her, but she proclaimed to everyone that he did. I did not reply to her comment but my face should have been enough to know that she was overstepping her boundaries here. She now spends every moment with him saying these words over and over. I am a first time mother who is dreading going back to work because she wants to take over. she has done this with her granddaughter who is jealous when she holds my baby, but is not jealous when her own mother holds my baby. I do not want my child growing up wanting her over me, as I know this is her goal. She has taken a precious moment away from me by saying my son told her "I love you" first. I feel she will do this with his true firsts. Am I wrong in feeling this way?
