i have a friend who's husband doesnt like her mother because her mother used to beat her. I just learned that my bf's mother used to punch him in the face etc. when he was younger, from 7 years and up. I already dont like her because she is conniving and condescending. He is a moma's boy and we have a kid together, is it wrong that knowing this makes me feel even more uncomfortable having my child and myself around her?

not at all wrong for you to feel this way!
if she was physically abusive to her son (whom she should love unconditionally), it's actually a GOOD THING you feel uncomfortable around her.
She could have cleaned up her act, but I'd still be extra cautious with your child around her as well... because you now know what she's capable of.
It's weird how he's a mommas boy if she would punch him in the face... good luck~

It may be right not to leave your child with his mother because she may not have changed her ways and she still may be abusive and she could hurt your child. Make sure that somebody else is always with your child if he/she is with her. If she was abusive then she may still be abusive now.

I wouldn't want to send my kid there either. Risking that she would hit my kid would make me want to hit her. But she is the grandmother to your baby. She should be able to see the baby under YOUR supervision, and never leave the baby alone with her.

you don't have to go anywhere near her...don't allow your child to. and definatly not alone with her, even if dad is there...dad can't stand up to her now...will he be able to when it comes to the baby???
he may not hit the child, but will he stop grand ma??
the way your questian was phrased bit confusing to me, sorry if it isn't any help.

keep your child away from her. She could still think that whatever she did to her own son she can do to her grandchild. it is not wrong for you to be wary of her, you have every right to protect your child, and even yourself, from her!
