We need to figure out why she's doing this. Hasn't she been a mother in her life? Or is it just healthy female jealousy and an attempt to show her son that she is better than you in this area, too? On the principle of who the child loves the most, he is the boss. In that case, what other functions of yours is she willing to take on? Perhaps we should try to explain to her that mom is the CEO mom and grandma is the first deputy granny for upbringing and housekeeping, these are completely different things, and that's great too! Her authority is not challenged, and the child is not a chess piece in her strategy games?

Probably you should try to explain the dear that the mother - the mother is the CEO and grandmother - the grandmother of the first deputy for the educational and housekeeping is a completely different thing, and it is also great!

Limit your communication. Or move to another place to live.
moia svekrov delala bu toje samoe, slavo bogy mu daleko ot nee!
My own dad is the same way.
fight to the end, then you'll get hurt
give up on any excuse
Ask your husband to talk to her. My husband went up to his mother and said either we raise the child together or without you and everything was solved. Although I'm honestly not sure that this will not happen again in a month or two, well, then again my husband will talk because they feel humiliated when they make remarks to their husbands' young wives. Unfortunately.
I have the same thing with my dad.
Talk to your mother-in-law politely but very seriously. If talking doesn't help, I would limit the communication to a minimum.
I sympathize, as long as you live under the same roof with her. If she helps you with your child, you can't even tell her anything. I wonder how your husband reacts to everything, does he have his own point of view on it or don't men get involved in anything?
My child is 1-3 years old and I have the same problem, but I do not let her talk to my granddaughter.
had the same problem until she fed the baby tangerines, she had horrible allergies, and now she's behaving decently because she realized that her own mother would do no harm to the baby.
don't give up! You are his mother and only you know what is good and what is bad for your baby and how to raise him. It is you, not this woman!
