stress stress stress!

My husband and I have been married almost a year. Since day one of meeting his family, I have not liked his mom or dad. They're very controlling and are always complaining about something. Also VERY stuck up and extremely rude and ignorant. I got pregnant before marriage, and because his family are STRONG Christians, we basically have been treated poorly since they found out I was expecting. Just because it was a sin to do that. Our daughter is almost 1 and throughout her life we've been bossed around and told how to raise our child. Emily had a acid reflex issue and could not have thin liquids such as juice, water, or plain formula. She had to have cereal in every bottle and it had to be thick or shed projectile vomit, causing weight loss. Every time they watched her she'd never have cereal in her bottle and constantly vomit until she almost drowned on her own vomit. I had enough. I stood up to his parents and said she was no longer allowed over unless I was there. Well now we're expecting our second and last baby. It's a boy this time. I'm concerned that if he has the same issue we'll be going through this again! It caused so much pain and drama between my husband and I that I almost packed our bags and left. Just because they don't believe a baby should have cereal until they're 6 months. They harrased me about it constantly saying things like "she'll be obese. She'll get cereal in her lungs. She'll have health issues." They even went to the extent of printing a stack of papers that honestly proved them wrong but they never noticed. The sites were not legit, and it repeatedly said no baby should have cereal unless prescribed by pediatrician (which Emily was!!) I'm so worried!

You could absolutely try to get your husband to stand up to his parents for you but if he's anything like mine he won't say what needs to be said, hero just sugar coat it so he doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. But I agree, bring those people to the pediatrician. And if that doesn't work (or even if it does) then tell them either they so being so rude to you, listen to your directions on how to care for YOUR child or they just won't see them. That may sound harsh and selfish, but your raising a family, you don't need that kind of toxicity in your life. Youve tried to make it work, you've tried talking to them, and it hasn't worked. If they're going to be so awful cut them out until they can realize their error and are willing to act like cordial, MATURE adults.

Bring the in-laws to your pediatrician if this happens again.  They will be more likely to listen to a doctor even if they won't listen to you.

I feel as though your husband should speak up, being that's its his family that's having the major problems. Because if you say something,they're going to blow the typical situation out of proprotion. Me Personally, I'm Very Aggorant So My Response Would Have Been:If You All Aren't Willing To Pitch In And Help Me And My Family Financially Save The Sorry Stories and Keep Your Feelings In Your Chest, Thanks.
