Well my grandpa has been staying with us a couple days now and grandma came up to be with him. Well, I went in the nursery to change my baby's diapers, feed him and then play with him some. I have a stuffed baby Smurf that my husband gave to me that used to belong to his first wife that is so cute!!! After I fed the baby I picked it up and started pretending it was real and pretending that it was talking to my baby (I was doing the voices..teehee). I said stuff like "I love you so much" and "you are so precious" and things like that and the baby just was giggling. Well my grandmother came in and told me my behavior was very unbecoming of a young lady and after I left the room she took it and locked it in her car trunk. I pleaded with her to give it back but she won't because she says it is making me childish. To me it was just something I enjoyed doing with my baby and it made him laugh when I would wiggle the smurf. I also cuddle with him some nights when I'm sleeping.

This is very special to me and important to my husband because it belonged to his first wife. What should I do? :(

i'm gonna be honest with you. i hope this isn't real life, and i really think you are making stuff up. however, it's possible, definitley not plausable, that the stuff going on is real....anyway, your questions are always very odd, and sometimes a little sick--if it is real life you need to see a counselor. if not, then you are spending your time thinking up some very interesting questions....i think i read somewhere that your husband has a girlfriend...so who cares what the smurf means to him...babies like each stuffed animal as much as the next. ps, do you just read these and laugh? cuz i'm only answering these because it's thanksgiving break and i'm bored...

Yes Grandma totally over reacted. One I would ask her to give it back, telling her that your behavior with your child does not have anything to do with the way you handle yourself as an adult. If that doesn't work, wait til she's asleep and take her keys and get the smurf out of her trunk. Just keep it hidden when she comes over.

given your other questions it is clear your husband is a total control freak, so put him to good use for once, tell him and have him deal with grandma, its clear from your posts he married you because you are a child and I want to say innocent but I'll go with stupid. which is something he obviously likes and grandma is robbing you and his son of that innocence and bonding. I am sure he will get the smurf back for you and grandma will be exiled never to return.

Grandma needs to know that it's none of her business how you raise your child. If you need to be "childish" and "unbecoming" in order to interact with your child and make a stronger bond ... that's your business, not hers. (There's absolutely nothing childish or unbecoming in what you did - it's called having FUN with your baby)
She needs to know that what she took does not belong to her and holds sentimental value in your family. I'm sure SHE wouldn't want YOU wandering into her home and taking something of sentiment of hers, would she? No.
If you really want to get her gears running, tell her she's a guest in YOUR home and that it's not very "unbecoming of a guest" to act as such. ;)

Grandma overstepped her boundaries. You were making your baby laugh...what the heck is her problem? And I hate, hate, hate the word "unbecoming" when used to describe a young woman...it is so archaic and condescending.

You should obey your grandmother, she if the mother of your husband and therefore demands all the respect and obedience that you give your husband.
