Momma bear!

[traceyt07]

Omg, family drama!! We were having Passover dinner at my inlaws and we had finished the first part of the Hagaddah. The kids day really well (I thought). Apparently my mil didn't agree. We were waiting for the lamb to finish and everyone was up from the table. The kids were running around playing w the dog. Apparently my mil didn't like how Amelia was behaving. She ran into the kitchen and gave dh a hug and said, "I love you, daddy!" My mil yelled out loudly, "bullshit!!" She started bitching about how Amelia was behaving. I'm fuming. I packed up Amelia and we left. You don't speak to my kid like that! Completely disgusting. Dh and Asher are staying till the end of dinner but I cannot sit next to this woman and pretend that it's okay. I'm completely livid.

So, what's the best story of you going "momma bear" to defend your kid?? Tell me in not the only one....

[origamimommy]

You shouldn't be sorry!! I would've done the same thing. What a cuntgoblin. Seriously.

[britbratjf]

Wow. Just wow. She said bullshit to Amelia telling her father she loved her? I don't even understand. I would have left too. And likely would be pretty pissed at DH if he'd isn't come too. But rest assured I wouldn't be setting foot in that woman's house again.

Yes, this. Oh my god. What an awful woman.

This exactly. I would be fuming. Completely uncalled for and you did the right thing in leaving. Her attitude is bull shit!

[mightybee]

Oh my gosh, that is ridiculus! I would have been livid, too. What was your H's reaction to hearing her say that?

[heatherbee]

I would have left too. Completely unacceptable for her to have acted like that towards your daughter.

[mrsrek10]

Oh hell no! My MIL would not like my response if she yelled Bullshit to my child when he told Dad he loved him. Also, my DH better have his butt in my car too. Of course, while I won't start a confrontation, I will not avoid it if brought to me. I would have to make sure MIL knew why I packed up and left. No one, and I mean NO ONE, will be allowed to talk like that to my child, ever.

[xanthepants]

traceyt07, unreal. You can bet I wouldn't be on speaking terms with her anytime soon until she came back with a sincere apology. Wow, some people are unbelievable.

[bantyrooster]

Yup H would have been right behind me. Hell to the no! As most know we didn't see mil or fil for a year after the final incident. My H would have bitched his mom out so bad.

[Deleted]

OMG that is outrageous what a crazy lady! I would have been out of there in a heartbeat I am so sorry!

[snickers4everyone]

No. Just no. I don't care if Amelia was swinging from a chandelier, you don't talk to kids that way. If someone treated one of our kids that way, it would be a cold day in hell before they saw us again. And you'd better be damn sure DH and all other kids would be going home with me. I'm sorry she treated A that way.

[sarahandeddie]

I'm sorry that happened. What an awful thing to say!

The only recent momma bear incident I had was at the mall play area. There was a little girl who said she was 4. She kicked my friend's DD in the stomach and later hit Avery. Avery told me exactly what happened and I told the little girl it wasn't nice to hit and she needed to stay away from Avery. I made sure to say it loud enough for her grandpa to hear.

[somethingcleverer]

Whoa. That is way out of line. I'm surprised your H didn't have more to say to his mom. I just can't imagine saying that to a 2 year old. Even if she was being the worst kid on the planet she would not deserve that comment.

[junkytrunk]

Wow! I can't believe a grandma would say that to her 2 year old granddaughter. Kids are gonna act like lunatics, but saying that about her saying she loves her father is ridiculous.

[aylafsu1881]

Wow! That is rude and pretty extreme to say about a 2.5 year old. I would have left to.

[paddyb]

Your MIL makes no sense. How in the world could your daughter telling her daddy she loves him be bullshit???

As others have said, I would have been out of there as well. I am a little surprised it sounds like you H didn't say anything to her.

This! Seriously why would she even say that?!? What did your H say?? I would have left too and Ya I definitely would be making H leave with me. That's just ridiculous!!

[trixi282]

Wow, completely uncalled for! Her comments were way out of line. I hope your H understands why you're so upset and stands behind you on this one, even if he didn't leave with you right away.

Hey girls! Sorry for the dramatic post and run the other day. After dh & his family finished their seder we drove upstate to spend the weekend w my family. Spent lots of time with my sister and her 3 kids. Very relaxing! :-P

Anyway, I finally got dh to talk to me about what happened Friday night. Apparently, Amelia had been mean to mil's dog, who mil is obsessed with. Dh tried to correct Millie, but she jumped in his lap and said "i love you, daddy! " that's when mil yelled "bullshit!" @ her/the situation.

Still not okay in my opinion, but at least I have some idea why she yelled at Millie. We're meeting Thursday for coffee and to talk about it. Thank you all for making me feel better on Friday night. I was so incredibly distraught. I'm much calmer now but I'm definitely not looking forward to Thursday. Ugh.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

So your MIL thought she was being sweet on purpose because she was about to get in trouble about the dog? That's how it sounds to me anyway. Still, that's an unacceptable way to deal with a small child. Gosh, I would not be looking forward to that coffee either.

[traceyt07]

Exactly, aimeefarrahfowler. I understand she was frustrated with how Amelia was behaving, but imo yelling an obscenity at a toddler is never okay. Remove her from the situation, remove the dog, time out, or better yet, wait until you're not so angry and talk to your son abt how he could have handled things differently. Cursing at my kid= not okay!!
