I was talking with someone about how after she had her child, the relationship with her and her MIL had changed for the worst. The MIL was not overbearing and they used to get along great, but ever since my friend gave birth to her son the MIL would only pay attention to her son.
When I was pregnant my mother begged me to bring my son over all the time and she wanted to watch him every other weekend (she thinks she's in competition with my MIL who has a pool) which I knew she was just excited and he probably wouldn't be staying over night that often. Now every weekend before she's "supposed to watch him" she asks if she can have "a break". I never even asked her to watch him in the first place!
Why does everyone have to be difficult?
How do you deal and help friends cope with this?!?!?!
