My MIL is going to drive me to drink

Let me preface this by saying that I love my IL's - they have always treated me like one of their own (I am not so sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing Chat Icon ) but lately my MIL is getting under my skin

We went out to eat on Saturday with a group of people. MIL was all the way at the other end of the table but all throughout dinner, she kept being a "back seat driver"....things like "does Mikayla have a bib on?, are you feeding her? why is she crying, what are you doing to my baby?"

AHHHH, I wanted to run over and smash her face into her plate of pasta Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon (shhh, Kate, don't tell Kelliane) Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Thanks for letting me vent Chat Icon

That is so annoying. Chat Icon I think I would have asked her if she wanted to switch seats so she could take care of her instead?!??! But, it sounds like she may have said ok! Chat Icon

Re: My MIL is going to drive me to drink

my mom actually does that to me and it drives me INSANE. she is especially backseat driver-ish when it comes to things like CIO ("are you SURE you don't want me to go pick him up?"... like every 10 seconds).

if you're able to let it go i would do that... but if it persists and it's really bothering you, i would address it in a gentle but firm way (which is what i did with my mom!).
