Guest guest Posted April 14, 1999 Report Share Posted April 14, 1999 Stacie, My dh has had a difficult time getting along with her. I have actually facilitated their relationship a lot. I am always respectful to her, even when I am putting her in her place. She drummed respect into her son as well, but he is someone who believes you must earn it. He respects his mother for being his mother but other than that she has to earn it in his opinion. He is very american in his beliefs but does have the asian drive and determination. He actually loves it when I put her in her place because very few people have ever been able to. She takes it from me well and respects me a lot because of me standing firm. It is trying though.

Yes she is very loud and very grabby. My son loves her because she always has food. She is mellowing a lot since when Kaija was little. I have had to put her in her place on numerous occasions. If you get a pic of you mil to show Lexi, she might not be as frightened. I just did that with my sister and her husband. Zaid was only mildly nervous around them and then warmed right up. He had a picture of them for about 5 months. Wendi >> Yeah I am pretty lucky to have to only see her once or twice at the most a year......But she still finds way to degrade me, and what not over the phone, so I just don't talk to her anymore.....I let Dh do it! And I do have a picture of her up on the wall, and Lexi will walk over and say Gama, so she does know who she is, but I am worried that when she actually sees her, and sees how loud she is, she will be frightened! And unless she comes over soon, like this summer, I know Lexi won't get to see her until she is over 2yo. Because MIL WON'T come over here in the winter, so if Lexi is going to see her before she turns to it will have to be this summer! And about you putting MIL in her place, How does your Dh do when you do that?? So far, mine has told me, DO NOT.....sass back to her.....Well I did one time and he did ok, but he gets VERY Defensive of his mother. Due to her, demanding his respect since he was a child! Well respect does not come so easy with me, you have to EARN it with me! I respect her as HIS MOTHER, but she has to earn it, for me to respect her as anything other than that! But OH there have been SEVERAL times I would have like to just tell her where to take it. But I haven't, even right now, when I am trying to deal with the fact she has not taken the effort to come and see her first grandaughter....And I would LOVE to say something to her about it, but I am afriad of how Dh would react to that.....!!

Is this some new position? > (wink!) >> ROFL......You know speaking of that, I saw in a book somewhere, that another nursing position, I don't remember if it had a name, or if so what it was, but it was where the Mother would be laying down on a pillow, and the child would be like laying on thier stomach over your shoulder nursing upside down, where thier feet would be up at your head......I thought that was a little odd, but hey whatever works!!
