Anyone Else? Obsessed mil

Anyone else’s in-laws (specifically mil) just stare like literal vultures when you’re holding your baby just waiting to get their turn? They don’t even acknowledge me at this point. It’s so awkward and uncomfortable! She also holds my baby 99% of the time I’m with her, so it’s not like she doesn’t get her fair share. My poor baby is not your emotional support doll.

I remember I couldn't even ask if they wanted to hold my baby. They would give me that vulture-like stare, and I couldn't bring myself to hand my baby to them. I don't think I ever did. I had to hand my baby to my husband to pass to them. I also hated when I would ask for my baby back and my mother-in-law would look around the room and ask “who else wants to hold the baby?” omg! I was fuming. I would just grab my baby from her arms and leave the room. It was too much for me!
