I have a pathological fear of MIL staying. Lovely, kind, doting MIL who spoils my baby DS with clothes and toys, who is so proud of my SAHD partner and would do anything to help us.
But I hate when she's here and the BLW gets dumped in favour of shovelling, the sleeplessness is all put down to BFing, the separation anxiety is because I don't leave him to cry. Of course, the other baby in the family sleeps perfectly and that's because things are done differently (not because the baby's different, of course ...).
I'm being so mean-spirited about her stay. I don't like giving up my bed when I'm this sleep-deprived, which doesn't help, but nor does it excuse my being a cow about her.
How do I just be nicer about the whole thing?
