Thanks so much for your message. I really just feel helpless about it all.
Tell you more? Be careful what you wish for! :-) I could tell you stories you would not believe. She is constantly competing with me for my son's love. She does take care of him on weekends so I can work. I appreciate that but she won't listen to any of my instructions. She won't feed him what I tell her to feed him. She will not even attempt to keep him on his schedule. It's constant problems, but I don't have another option.
I needed help when my son was born. The MIL works so she couldn't give me the help I needed. I flew my mother out here to stay and help out for two months. She was so mean to my mother out of jealousy. It was to the point my husband did say something to her about making his guests feel unwelcome. That is the only time he's ever stood up to her.
She stubs up and acts like a two-year-old when she doesn't get her way. I've bent over backward to make things work with her and I just can't do it anymore. I just feel so helpless in this situation. I just want to cry.
