family in law issues

my 7 1/2 month old is honestly driving me crazy. from the moment he wakes up in the morning until he falls asleep he crys and moans non stop and everything i do doesnt make it any better he doesnt even want to eat sometimes which makes it worst thats why i said imiss my new born he was so good all he did was sleep and eat  now all he does is cry 247 the thing is i moved into a new a place and it was a in a very good neighborhood we leaved there one day and found out they were infested with roaches and moved out that day we now have a new place and move in next week so i think from not being in his own home with mom n dad he feels different when hes with me at my moms hes fine because he just plays and watching the backyardagins or whatever but when he goes by his dads family oh geeeeeeeeeeeeezzz they wont even let him watch the t.v and thats what he loves and thats why i wont go there and my dh i think is noticing that. i mean they will play with him and thats not what he wants all day is to be held i didnt train him that way its very annoying its really bothering me that he totally changed my dh also has an older brother who is 37 years old and he leaves with his parents i dont want to be mean but he is a total idiot when i visit with the baby i mean i would be feeding him and he will come in my sons face and bother him and i want to just be like could u please stop and then my son doesnt want to eat and when i go there he just sits by me and doesnt leave me or the baby alone he is honeslty obsessed and the weird thing is that he always told me for the past 4 years that my dh is no good and all lies just to get us to fight i dont like him at all and i cant deal with him and i want to tell my dh his brother is weird and has a problem he is 37 on the heavy side and everytime he sees me he gossips with me and brings his brother down and when we were looking for a house he was mad when we found a new one because hes just weird

It may be that the different and distracting atmosphere is what's causing him to react the way he is...or it sounds familiar to how my son acted when he was teething.  Could his teeth be coming in?  My son whines all the time and doesn't want to eat when his teeth are bothering him.  Just hang in there, you will be getting to the new place soon enough.

I can't follow your train of thoughts...Sorry but you totally lost me.  Your issues w/the inlaws is they don't let him watch tv??   He's too young to be watching tv so I wouldn't be too worried about that.

New Mommy,  I'm having trouble with the details of your post.  Where do you live now?  

And then,  you're going to move somewhere else (better) in a week?

And your baby cries all the time except when you are at your mother's house where he behaves normally?

And you don't like to visit your husband's family because they are weird and you think that's why your baby is acting weird?  

Maybe I've gotten the details wrong.

I say don't go visit your inlaws.  Stay at your own house or visit your mom.

I would be very  very concerned about a baby who cried every waking minute the way you describe him - have you had him checked by a doc?

i am VERY concerned that the only way he is happy is in front of the TV. Babies that age should not watch any TV. Of course there are a few occasions where it's necessary (for example if i'm trying to get dressed), but it should be very very limited. He is not learning to talk, play, or interact with people appropriately. these skills need to be developed at this age. Your inlaws are very correct in not allowing him to watch TV. i'm not saying that's the reason why he cries at other times, but you make it sound like it may be contributing to it. He should be learning how to set, crawl, roll a ball, hold a book and flip pages, sing, clap, look in a mirror, pick up things. etc... He should be experiencing the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. He should be splashing in water, pulling grass, going for walks. He should be banging spoons, laughing at you play peek-a-boo, knocking over things you stack. He should be learning that you will smile if he does something silly. He cannot learn any of these very important skills from a TV. Instead you are teaching him that it's ok to watch a screen most of the day. You are teaching him that if he throws a fit, you will plop him in front of the TV.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I hope I misinterpreted your confusing post. Please take a careful look at the time you spend with him. He may be crying because he's bored and unstimulated.

Your inlaws have the right idea. And you didn't train him to want to be held? Turn the TV OFF and interact with your baby. Please try to use punctuation and prood read your post before you click on "Post Comment". Your writing is very hard to understand.
