Could I please have a PP. does anybody else struggle with the in laws? My husband has always been super close with his mum which I think is great. They speak a couple of times a day and she is his whole world.

What I can’t handle is he puts her opinion before mine even when it’s about our children. I told her my eldest cannot have a bottle anymore, she’s too old and it’s no good for her teeth,she still gives her milk in it and will drop her home with Coke! I tell my husband it’s not acceptable and I just get “it’s not a big deal” “it’s what nans do” etc! If I’m not happy with something I tell him I will speak with her and I just get “your going to cause issues in my family” I find it really difficult to keep my cool. They are my children yet I don’t get respected.

She books things without asking me first and hubby just agrees. we went round and she told us they’re booking a holiday for us (including them) that night. We asked when/where etc and she seemed annoyed that it had even been asked. It’s very lovely of them to take us on holiday but we still need spending money, sort out the children’s schools and hubby gets limited time off work so it would just of been nice to have been asked. Of course hubby said he really wanted to go and to get it booked! his birthdays coming up and I planned a meal with our daughters but got told his mum has already booked something for us all and he wants to spend it with his parents.

Im really struggling. Maybe it’s just me. I did know I was marrying a mommys boy but I didn’t realise it would get so much worse after we got married and had children.Any advice on how to handle his family? I don’t want to cause issues at all but I need his mum to understand that I’m his wife and I have his children. My opinion should be taken into account.
