A genuine inquiry about “my baaaaaaaby”

Won’t lie - I’m a little jealous that your MIL is actually attempting to make her home baby friendly even though it sounds like it’s part of a possessiveness issue on her part. My MIL is possessive but too cheap to make her home comfortable for us and our child. Well, she offered me some 10 year old diaper samples she oddly had laying around the house...

Not trying to invalidate your experiences since it sounds like you have your hands full with your own MIL. Mine just likes to do these double bind things where she begs us to come over, doesn’t make it a comfortable experience so that we don’t feel like going up there as much, and then she gets the joy of complaining to her friends and family about how she’s such a neglected and unappreciated grandma.
