Did I tell you about the time, back in march when my wife was about 8 months pregnant, how her mom made her cry during a "family" meeting, from which I was excluded, so much so that she could not stop sobbing, how, when I got upset over this and yelled "who is making my wife cry", the mother jumped up in my face, grabbing my hands and yelling? Did I tell you how she never apologized to me for this, despite the fact that I apologized for yelling first (however I did not put my hands on her as she did to me).
Did I tell you how when my wife complained of discomfort during the late stages of pregnancy, her mother would say "oh millions of women have given birth, what you're feeling is nothing!"
Did I tell you how when my wife asked her mother to stop talking about the horrors of childbirth, the acutal part when you give birth, the ripping, etc, her mom continued on and on? I had to sit by and watch this Sh*&^t
Did I tell you how when we brought my son home from the hospital (we were living with her parents at the time so we could qualify for a mortgage in the new country) she held him for 7 hours str8, never asking me or my wife if we wanted to hold him?
Please. You can posit that I wont let them enjoy their grandchild: that's not true. What I am after is respect and boundaries.
SOmeone here is upset with me because I want revenge for what she did on Sunday. Damn right. I have never felt so low as when she took my own son off of me as he slept on me. that was horrible, and I want her to see what it feels like.
then demand it and set some. If you don't set boundaries, she won't have any In 7 hours, neither you nor your wife asked to take your own baby??????? Come on... who's fault is that?
Man how I would love to say this to my mother in law. If there are grandparents in this forum, you need to know that you DONT own your grandchildren. They are not your property and the wishes of your children come first. If they dont want you to see the grandchild, you have to deal with it. If they set boundaries, you have to observe them. You are on the periphery, you are not the child's parent. If the parents choose, you can have absolutely NO SAY in the upbringing of the child.
