OK, here is the situation. My boyfriend and I had a baby 3 months ago. We currently live with his mothers 3 bedroom house along with his youger sister, whom is getting a divorce. They recently moved out to thier own place therefore making room for us and the baby. We are paying rent but here's the thing, I want to see if you all see something wrong with this; she voulenairly invited us to come over ever other Saturday to have dinner. She is going to come over to the house that she's renting to us and come over anytime to get mail, use the phone and the internet!! Oh, and she asked me who was going to clean the house and feed the dog!! So she wants to come over to walk the dog and take out the garbage, etc. If you ask me she is finding excusses to come over to see the baby. She always mentions her not seeing him anymore. What about my mom, his other grandma?? Is this wacky or what??? Or is it just me??? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to discuss this with your man. Since he is her son, he should be the one to talk to her about giving you two privacy. As long as you two are paying the bills, you should have the say so on what goes on in the house. Good luck.....sounds like a mother n law from hell.

I don't get it? Is their something wrong with her inviting you over for dinner once a week? As for the house cleaning and walking the dog...you have a 3mo. old baby, maybe she is just trying to help you out with the housework because she knows how hard it is to deal with that stuff when you have such a young baby. I would have welcomed the help when my kids were that young. As for her using it as an excuse to see the baby, she is his grandma she shouldn't need an excuse. And I don't see this having anything to do with your mom? She's not trying to stop your mother from spending time with the baby. BUT, she should at least call before coming over to make sure you don't have other plans.

Hey, if someone is that willing to help out with the baby, I'd welcome her with open arms! There are always going to be times when you need someone else to watch the baby, or help out around the house, and I think it's fantastic that you have someone willing to do that - especially without pay. As for your mother, I don't think there's such a thing as a baby getting too much attention.

Your baby is the highlight of her life right now, and so it's not really wacky for her to want to be around alot. Don't let her affect how much time the baby gets to spend with the rest of the family; just let her know that you are busy, or have other plans sometimes. She should understand that.....

You need to take a sedative. Its not that serious. If anything, you should feel lucky to know you always have a babysitter!
