I really need to vent this because OH doesnt get it...
I've always got on well with my in-laws to be fair but since Holly arrived they have driven me up the pole. Now I know they are excited and well-meaning as she is their first grandchild and thats fair enough, but they are so keen its almost as bad as being criticised.
I had to take my cat to the vets today so they came across to sit for me, very helpful and I was grateful. When they arrived Holly was asleep, she was clean, just fed and quite happy. I told them that she should sleep for another half hour, she wont be hungry cos she's just fed but there is a bottle of EBM in the fridge if I am not back by 3 and I would prefer them to wait until then unless she was really screaming for it, it was 1.15pm.
When I got back at 2pm - noone else at the vets luckily - they had her up, changed her and were preparing a bottle.... apparently she'd woken up and cried a little so they decided to feed her. Now this may seem silly but I was really peed off... I'd specifically said 3pm and if she was really hungry she would have been screaming the place down when I got there.. she wasnt!
When we are out and about the MIL will practically grab the pram from me because she wants to push.... I know she is keen and just excited but its starting to drive me mental..... she fusses so much.
How do I handle an overexcited MIL? I dont want to sound ungrateful but its getting really tiring..
