Dh, lo and I are visiting dh's parents this weekend. Yesterday dh went to visit some friends and I stayed home with the baby and his parents while a friend of mine came to visit. While I was feeding K, dh's aunt and cousin arrived. As soon as I finished feeding her, fil came and took K and they all went into another room with her. It really bothers me that they took her to another room without asking. She did start crying almost right away and didn't calm down until they brought her back to the room I was in. Also, my friend was there to visit K so I thought it was rude of them take her away from her visit too. Just really annoyed with them.... Sorry for the rant!
 
I would've gone into the other room and taken her back. How dare they just pick her up & take her away from u without asking. I would be annoyed as well hunny x
 
It only took them a couple of minutes to bring her back but still. They seem to think that my sole purpose is to feed her and I want time off from her. But I don't! I want to play with her and read to her. I am always taking her away from them because she gets upset and they think she is fine.
 
I would of said excuse me what are you doing with MY child???! How rude is that! Fil could have at least asked what you wanted! Seriously I would have gone nuts!!
 
I would have gone ballistic!!how dare they take YOUR child?


 
I would have been mad walked in and picked her back up and walked back into the other room! x
 
thats so rude!!! i would def be annoyed xx
 
Ok I am glad I wasn't overreacting! Xx
 
Would piss me off too mil did it once when James was crying and just took him!!! He wouldn't stop so she gave him back and another time I was rocking him in his pram and she just took the pram and walked off with him I said where you going? And she replied only over here I'm not running off with him.. Bearing in mind he was 3 weeks old at the time!!! She's not done it since he now cries if he can't see me and he's only 12 weeks she had him earlier and took him out the room and he cries until she brought him back then got huffy.....I give him to them when I'm ready not when they say......another thing that pisses me off is every night he has his bed time bottle between 6/6.30 and if she has him and he starts crying she says do you think when you've got your pjs on that you should be fed!!!!! Errrr no it's routine deal with it!!!! Lol xx

Oh I would've been so mad too - Its disrespectful to take a baby away from it's mother like that. I would've gone in and taken her straight back. X
 
I hate it when people try to do that :( I mean try, cos I never let them! My Inlaws were terrible at that when Joshua was tiny! Grrrr! I just used to hold him tightly so they couldn't take him lol
 
My mil does that even after DH said that little guy likes to see me at all times!! Plus it was at a strange house with lots of strange people!! She just wants to think she is like the baby whisperer or something!!
xxxx
 
My mil likes to walk off with lo and my SIL's lo too. X

Thanks girls! I really don't mind them taking her and playing with her, but I want her in the same room as me. She is always checking to make sure I am nearby. My parents would never ever do that. They always wait for me to ask if anyone would like to hold her, and they don't take her away to another room!
 
I couldn't really understand did you say you were staying at FIL's house & FIL took LO into a diff room? tbh I cant see any problem with that (unless im missing something!?) sorry if I am. Maybe he thought you would like a convo with your friend.

When I go round to my parents they just lift LO & wander around with him, sometimes they'll say - im just gonna take him into the kitchen or something, or sometimes i'll leave the room & they'll have taken him into another room

I dont see the issue if its LO's grandfather tbh. Esp if you were staying over??

yep, i would have done the same as others, went and got her back! how annoying!
 
I agree that this is very rude! My Mum has a habit of doing things like this and it drives me crazy!! Thankfully my MIL isn't the same. Do not tolerate this kind of behaviour from them - you are the Mummy! Good luck dealig with the IL's :mad:
 
ps I think it's a completely different thing if they had said something like 'i'm just going to...' but to come in and take her without saying anything I find disrespectful and overbearing. They need to communicate with you more where your child is concerned.
 
Yes we are at the inlaws' house and fil took her to a different room. I have no problem with them taking her, it wad that they took her to another room without saying anything to me. My friend was visiting my daughter and I, not just me. I will often give her to them and then go shower or do something in another room, but I want it to be my decision.
