At the minute, me and OH and LO are staying with his mum and brother until we get somewhere to live. Its bad enough having to be in dundee (im here for uni) coz all my family are a 3hour drive away and i miss them like crazy and really want my mum at times with a new baby and what not
i feel like the inlaws have kidnapped me.
anyway, mother in law is a midwife. i dont know if its the midwife or the granny coming out in her but we are going to be coming to blows very soon. she keeps saying 'if i were you...' and do whatver. she tries to make me go to bed! tells me what to eat, has a go at me for eating a bar of chocolate! and whenever she picks up connor shes always telling me what hes wanting (even if it isnt what hes wanting) and it feels like shes just trying to be the mother herself!
not only that, when i dont DO AS SHE SAYS, i hear her muttering away to OH when im in a different room trying to make me do it anyway. she also has her other son convinced that a womans job is in the kitchen, looking after her child and man. so not only do i have her nagging me constantly about my diet and cleaning up after her son, shes got his brother doing it aswell! telling me that i should quit uni and stay in the house until connor is at least 5 and spend all day cleaning and baking bloody cakes!
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH
dont they think its enough that i have left my entire bloody family to make things easier for OH??? I really want to pack up and go home, but i dont know if hed come with me. I hate it here
and another thing, i was all for breastfeeding but im getting so tired now and would like a break now and again using formula, just for like one feed during the night once in a while or something. at the mention of formula she goes off her head. HES MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im sorry, i really feel like i cant talk to scott about this, she has her boys well and truly brainwashed!
