OP is grappling with numerous challenges from their mother-in-law (MIL) in caring for their three-month-old baby. Despite OP’s discomfort, MIL persistently suggests moving in to spend more time with the baby. MIL also pressured OP to name the baby Abigail and displayed intrusive behavior during OP’s labor, showing up uninvited. MIL’s disregard for OP’s parenting choices extends to feeding and holding the baby, and she undermines OP’s breastfeeding efforts. MIL falsely represents the baby’s visual impairment, spreading misinformation to family members. Additionally, MIL criticizes OP’s use of daycare and insists on being a full-time babysitter, even quitting her job without consulting OP. This relentless behavior leaves OP feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to handle MIL’s blatant disregard for their opinions and wishes.
