MIL making everything about herself

r/

The birth of all my children have apparently been MIL’s events. She ignores all rules and requests. This last time we didn’t tell her until hours after baby was born, so what does she do? She gets MAD, she removes all “reactions” to pictures, goes off on husband, and tells husband she needs time because she’s so upset.

Y’all, this is the same woman who came to the hospital and tried to hold my baby the second baby came out, got upset she was not allowed back as I was in recovery from surgery, and obsessively texted about how much anxiety she had that she hadn’t held baby yet.

Now, just because she didn’t know prior to birth when baby would be born she’s going to throw herself some pity party?

It goes without mentioning that she didn’t help at all postpartum, didn’t even say congratulations, 0 words to me at all. Oh and now she’s asking us to help her with stuff.

    Cut her off? Is there a reason to tolerate her emotional immaturity for this long…

    Even if it’s a husband problem you can pull out. You have to protect yourself!
