    r/AITAH 15 hr. ago Overall Today_3592 AITAH for not letting my MIL see my baby until I put cameras up in my home?
  • 02
    I 25F had a baby boy with my 27M husband 4 months ago. His mom, my MIL has some old school backwards thinking that I do not agree with.
  • 03
    She spanked her kids, let them "cry it out" when they were babies, etc. she tries to impose those thoughts on me and I tell her I do not like that way of thinking and will not be doing that with my child or future children.
  • 04
    One thing she did was put cereal in her kids bottles. She said it to me about 3 weeks ago and I told her no because that will increase the chance of gagging or inhaling that liquid into his lungs and I told her that I will not be doing it, my husband said he will not be doing it and I told her she will not be doing it.

    I caught her on Saturday feeding him his bottle with fruit loops mixed in when I came downstairs from taking a nap. I completely lost it and told her to get out of my house. She told me I can't do that because this is her son's house too and I told her I would Just call the police because she's refusing to leave.

    She left but stayed in her car across the street until my husband came home from work. She tried crying and acting like I was the bad person. He told her that he asked her to stop when he caught her last week. I got ped because he didn't tell me that. I was furious with both of them at that point.
  • 07
    I told her she would never be allowed to watch him or any children I have in the future again and she has completely lost my trust. She's never allowed in our home again.
  • 08
    My husband has tried to smooth things over and I'm not having it. I told him the only way she'd be allowed back in our home was when I put cameras up and she can not go out of my sight with again.
  • 09
    She blew up at me in the group chat that we have with her, myself, my mother, my father, my husband's 2 sisters, and my sister. She called me controlling, a helicopter parent, a bad parent, etc. My family was not happy about the way she talked to me and told her she needs to back off and his side of the family was

    more so on her side and said I was overreacting a bit because. the baby is okay. One of his sisters did say she crossed a line and she's done that with her kid when she popped her daughter in the mouth and that's why she's not allowed to be with her daughter by herself.

    doesn't get to choose how to parent your child, and needs to respect your rules if she wants to be in your child's life.

    NickelPickle2018 • 15h ago You have a husband problem, he's putting her feelings before your child's health. A 4 month old doesn't need "fruit loops". Until your husband is willing to enforce boundaries and consequences she will continue to behave this way.

    own babies, and now your baby's, bottle, and won't stop even when told to stop repeatedly? Your SIL said this woman "popped her daughter in the mouth" and lost the privilege to see her. Dear god, that is NEVER okay!

    She's calling you a helicopter mom because she can't see how crucial it is to protect babies from her.
