When your in laws get to be that level of interferrence, get the hell out of Dodge. Move away. I moved 300 miles away and it was the best damn thing for all! Now there are no last minute visits, no just dropping by.... And I told my MIL that all visits and visitors will have to be agreed upon and have my final stamp of approval or the door will NOT be open- I don't care how long it took you to get here.
I applaud you for seeking help for your anger issues. Keep in mind tho, they can not be your support if you do choose to move. It'll be harder for them to find things to pick at, but it'll also be harder for you (and your wife) to not have them for babysitting and the like.
Maybe you could sit down with them and agree at the beginning of the conversation that no one is to be interrupted while talking and no one is aloud to raise their voices. Then calmly state your side of what has been happening and what your boundaries are as of NOW. Then try to listen to what they say. Open the dialogue and you are in control, you are the voice of reason and ultimately, these are your kids and your word goes.
lovesMountains, I have to say that people are multi-faceted. They can be in complete awe and adoration of their newly born child and still chafe at an overbearing, rude MIL.
PLEASE read his other threads and posts - all the man does is complain and find fault.
He has not one ounce of gratitude in his body for anything in his life right now. He's just miserable because he made the choice to move to another country and has to have someone else to blame for his misery besides himself

sorry you see it that way, for you that is. As I mentioned in a previous post my wife and I had a great weekend and have resolved our differences. Thats a plus. You act as if my posts here are the sum total of my life, they arent. As I type my son is asleep on my chest as I have my laptop on my lap typing. You are most deserving of all my sympathy.
My wife's words to me were "I know my mother is crazy, we all know it." Yes she's onboard. Her mom has done the same thing to her too, snatching the baby away.
You've gone from "making a gesture, then taking the baby", to "RIPPING HIM FROM YOUR ARMS", and now to "snatching the baby away".
Why don't you just stay home while your wife goes to visit your MIL?
I know this was mentioned before, but you sound extremely immature. Now, if you said your MIL was DRUNK and stumbling around with the baby in her arms, that would be a different story, in which case I would tell her point blank she will only be allowed to visit with the baby while SOBER.

Sympathy for what? Your post makes no sense, as I am not the one constantly complaining or frustrated with my life - that would be you
Glad you had a great weekend with your better half - hope it's the start of turning over a new leaf and learning to work together as a team

But you didn't say that.
enough people in this post agree with me and thats made my day. Thank you for your contribution: however im not paying much attention to it.
She and I had a blowout in a few months back, one in which I lost my temper and threatened her because we were still living in her house and she was all in my biz. I really lost it and told her if she didnt mind her business she would get hurt. I was so angry I almost grabbed her and all the famiy saw it and intervened. It was just what she wanted! for a long time after that, they had fun painting me as the bad guy, not speaking to me, etc. in the meantime, I went to counseling to control my temper and mend things with my wife who got upset that I lost it. Anyway, i wanted things to cool off before putting my foot down. Now that they have, and I am speaking the the family again, I can begin to put my foot down without seeming like a crazy person. Does that clear things up?
That's great now you are admitting to trying to beat up a woman.....an older woman tooDon't blame it on her. You are the one who clearly could not control his temper. You allowed her to push your buttons and you say you were going to hurt her....Wonderful
My son has a grandma, my mother. Unless my wife's mom starts acting right, I may just poison him against her. Plus, in five years we may move back to america...problem solved. She wont get to see him that much. I also hate that she gets drunk every night and talks bad about people over the dinner table, doesnt believe in God and mocks those who do. I just dont like this woman.
That's just great. Say horrible things to your son about his grandmother. Teach him that its ok to hate people
