She Called Her Daughter-In-Law Crazy For Thinking Her Grandson Would Get A Bedroom In Her Home After She Only Just Got To Meet The Baby 10 Months After He Was Born
This 36-year-old woman has four children– a son who is 22 years old and three daughters who are 21, 9, and 3.
Both of her two older kids are also married and even recently had children. So, her daughter and son-in-law have a 1-year-old daughter; meanwhile, her son and daughter-in-law also have a 10-month-old son.
However, her relationship with both of her grandchildren could not be more different.
She admits that she is much closer to her granddaughter since her daughter actually invited her to be in the delivery room when the baby girl was born.
“So I knew my daughter’s firstborn since the day she was born, and my husband and I are obsessed with her,” she explained.
“The exact opposite was for my son and daughter-in-law.”
In fact, she didn’t even find out her son’s child was born until nearly one week after the baby entered the world!
Still, she acknowledged how that was her son and daughter-in-law’s choice. So, she did not stir up any drama over it.
Instead, what really caused a rift was when her daughter-in-law’s parents were allowed to meet the baby the day he was delivered.

Yet, when she and her family asked when they could meet the baby, her son, and daughter-in-law claimed she couldn’t meet her grandson until he was older.
While that really did confuse her, though, she and her family still did not question anything.
Instead, she only just wound up meeting her grandson this past Mother’s Day when her son and daughter-in-law visited with their child.
“The baby was cute, and I did try and bond with him, but my daughter-in-law didn’t even let us hold him,” she recalled.
Anyway, her son also had not been to her home in a while, either. So, after she met her grandson, she decided to show her son and daughter-in-law around.
It was at that point that they both realized she had a playroom and bedroom space for her daughter’s children in her own home.
So, her son and daughter-in-law asked if their son got a room in her home, too, and she was forced to say no. After all, that was the very first time she even got to see her grandson in person.
But her daughter-in-law didn’t understand that and just got upset– claiming that it didn’t matter since she should treat all of her grandchildren equally. Her daughter-in-law also pointed out how, all throughout Mother’s Day, she had shown her daughter’s children much more attention.
She could not have disagreed more, though, and told her daughter-in-law that she and her husband had been trying to bond with their grandson all day. However, that was nearly impossible since they were not even allowed to hold the baby!
She also called her daughter-in-law crazy for thinking that her grandson would get a room since she and her husband probably would not even see the baby again until Christmas.
While her comments may have been true, though, they only made her daughter-in-law more upset. So, her daughter-in-law wound up dragging her son and her grandson out of the house before leaving.
Still, she figured everything would be fine and just blow over afterward. Well, that was until she saw her daughter-in-law posting on Facebook about “bad grandmothers,” which was obviously directed toward her.
That’s why she has actually started to feel bad about what happened. And now, she’s been left wondering whether being honest with her daughter-in-law about why she isn’t close with her grandson really made her a jerk or not.
Does it make sense that she isn’t as close with her grandson if she only just met him? Why do you think her daughter-in-law expected a bedroom in her home? Did she have a right to be upfront with her son and daughter-in-law? How would you have reacted in this situation?
