Have you ever been called a fatass while being 34 weeks pregnant? Well it happened to me last night and by my own mother. She is supposed to be here to help with my two kids. A 4 and 2 yr old. It has been a nightmare and she completely undermines us when it comes to our 4 year old. This has been going on for over a month now. Now my 4 year old is lying and being disrespectful and not listening. Even his preK teachers have noticed the change. Well finally yesterday I blew up. She treats my two yr old like dirt but treats my 4 yr old as if he is a baby. He won't even dress himself anymore without help. He is regressing in everything my husband and I have taught him. So we got in an argument my mom and I. I said nothing disrespectful and she came right out and called me a bitch and a fatass. Oh and a week ago she said well your face isn't as fat. Who says that to a pregnant woman? I'm already struggling on how different my body is. I hate getting on my scale and my clothes don't fit and it hits me mentally. I couldn't be around her after that I just went in my room and cried. I'm 34 weeks today so not much longer but this fighting and stress is not good for my kids nor me. Why can't she let me and my husband be the parent and butt out of things? She won't enforce things if she doesn't believe in them for example. My 4 yr old gets quiet time in his room In which he can play while my two year old takes his nap. After nap they both can play or watch TV or whatever. If my 4 yr old does not get his alone time he doesn't want to listen thus being over tierd. She doesn't get it. Nor has she ever helped me out with my kids but a month makes her an expert of my children. We live across the country from one another and she sees them a week once a year. I'm debating whether to send her home and just get a babysitter for when I go into labor. As for being called a fatass while pregnant.. It is what it is. My DR last week told me I looked good and my bp was very good. I'll listen to my DR before I listen to a mean old grouch like my mom.

 | Comment from Kate0406 » Posted Dec. 25, 2015 3:35pm Thanks guys, I completely agree. Yesterday I called my dad who lives in GA and told him he may need to come get her. he called her and told her to knock it off and she finally apologized. she told me she would start backing me up with the rules and stop getting involved with disciplining. I just hope this is true and I can get to Feb 4th. I also told her for now on to not comment on my weight. It is so sad it has even come to this. she is my mom and is supposed to be supportive, instead i feel like i'm dealing with another kid. |
 | Comment from Gigi76 » Posted Dec. 25, 2015 12:10pm I would have to agree with 'gotababylady'. If she's only making your life more miserable and difficult, you really need to sit her down and make it clear to her (as nicely as you can), that if she's not able to be constructively helpful and respect your choices and decisions as parents, maybe it would be better for everyone if she went home earlier. I know it would be hard, but it might be the best for everyone. Good luck!! |
 | Comment from gotababylady » Posted Dec. 24, 2015 9:41pm Oh man I would send her packing. You don't need someone like that around. Mother or not if she can't make this time easier and stop acting like a spoiled 2 year old she has got to go!! |
