okay here's the story, i love her but she goes out of her way to do things that i don't think is right. first she want's my child to call her mama and call me by my first name. then she started making these plans to just take my child on a vacation, i told her no cause she's really not able to be with my baby for a long time, she really can't hear or see well at all. when i tell her that she can't she tells me that she's going to take him anyway. i want her to be involved but still i don't need her to take over. and then she want's the baby to sleep in her room when i told her no that the baby can stay in the room with us she got mad. when she does this she call's everybody in the family and tells them these lies. it's really starting to put a strain on my relationship with my man cause it's his mom and i don't feel like she has the right to disrespect me. i really do want her to be around however i'm still mom and she needs to just be a grandparent.

My MIL used to be very pushy when it came to giving me advice about my first child. I then would get really mad at her and start a whole mess. She wanted my daughter to call her Mommom. I told her no. She tried to do other things and I finally had to put my foot down. I laid out the law; I am my daughter's mother. If she wanted a baby, go and get pregnant. It was a bit uncomfortable at first and my husband felt caught in the middle (though he did take my side.) After awhile she will start to calm down. If not, tell her again and again that she is not the mother...and if she even tries to take your child you MUST call the police. If she can't see and has problems your child could be in danger, even if she does not mean to cause the child harm. Keep a good eye out and just calmly keep enforcing your rules. Sooner or later she will get it. You need to stay calm though. Don't fly off the handle. Also, Don't worry about other family members. This is YOUR baby, you carried her for nine months.

First, I would start documenting her threats to kidnap your child, so that in the horrible chance she does, you will have something to go to the police with. Also, what's the deal with her wanting the child to sleep in her room, are you living with her? If so, move out already! If she is living with you, kick her to the curb! You need to set the ground rules about her being around your child now, so that if you have another one down the line, you won't have this problem again, good luck.

Plan on your next pregnancy. This time make sure you have quadruplets.
