Hi everyone just looking for some advice.
Ever since my daughter was born 4 months ago I have found my FIL very controlling and disrespectful of our life as a new family .
He would call down at any opportunity , hardly speak a word to me and take my newborn daughter from me . I know as a new mother I am particularly touchy however this continued and I had to ask my husband to speak to him . When he did thus my FIL had a complete strop and barely spoke to my husband.
Things calmed down after that but I feel like the situation is getting worse again. All I ever hear is how much she looks like their side of the family. He had a way of making me feel guilty if I don't hand my daughter over as soon as I walk in the door and is trying to plan extended family holidays for next year without even asking if we'd like to go , it is just assumed that we will . I know it sounds petty and ridiculous but it's making me a bundle of nerves anytime I see him now .
My MIL is lovely and completely unintrusive. I just wondered if anyone had any advice on how to help the situation it would be greatly appreciated .
