Mother in law :/

So I've been stressing over this situation . I have a 2yr old girl which my Mom & mother n law watch for few hours while I'm at work. I alternate days that way they both have a chance with her, but lately she's on my nerves I take my child to her 4 -5 days out week and doesn't complain but those 2-3 days I take her to my parents she's complaining why didn't I bring her why am I so mean don't consider her. Why is she so selfish !? My mom doesn't say anything but I know kind of bother her but never said a word which I appreciate but it kills me. I can't afford babysitter. It just makes me so mad puzzled and stressed. I never tell her anything besides oh it was my moms turn. Make things worse she told me good thing your having another baby that way you just take the other baby to your parents. My children aren't objects omg help me !!!!

Thats a tough situation. I say try to shake it off as best as you can and continue to follow your schedule that you've been on. You can't please everyone and it seems like she isn't going to try to understand how you feel or give your family a chance to see your children so I say just let her be mad and do your best to ignore the comments. I know that can be hard but just bare with it until you can find someone new. Sorry i wasn't much help.

I've tried but all I get is I "guess ill apologize, if it makes you feel better" and it makes me even more mad. And my husband stresses about it too and goes off on her and my father in law finds out and the whole family takes my side and she later takes it out on me by making remarks of the situation so I rather not tell my husband for that reason I just don't know what to do ?

Have a straight forward conversation with her about how you're feeling. Let her know that you're  appreciative, but the baby needs to spend time with your family too also see if you can get your bf/hubby involved so that its clear to everyone.
