Okay I just need to vent to people who will understand.
My husband’s mom visited today. She greeted baby, got in his face, touched his leg about 8000x times. Then she told us that people in her house are really sick!! Excuse me! Why are you touching my baby then??
She was dropping off an Easter basket for our 9 month old. Later in the day I peeked into it and there was this Peep brand play doh stuff that is made with sand. I opened it and was so confused as to why you’d give this to a baby. The sand sticks to your hands, plus it’s sticky. It looks like a choking hazard. I showed my husband and he was like “well it must be edible right?”
I just looked it up and nope. It says right on the package “not edible” and for ages 3+. Come onnnnnnn. There are a million things you can put in a baby’s Easter basket but she picks this?
It’s not the sand itself that annoys me. It’s the fact that she repeatedly shows a lack of judgment and put my baby at risk. I have to be hyper vigilant around her and can’t trust her. I HATE it.
And just as a cherry on too.
I haven’t seen my mom in three years. I asked her if she wants to meet baby when we visit and she made it clear she doesn’t care. But she always ropes me in emotionally.
I need the book an extra therapy appointment.
End rant.

The simple fact that she put something in a gift basket for an infant, only 9 months old, knowing full well the parents would see it to wrap or open, screams delusion or diabolical……either way, not safe at all.
