@Kristel thank you. It's difficult to get her to understand because we are not from England but we live here. I don't speak my native language as well as I used to and my mum doesn't speak any English so getting her to listen to me is hard. She likes to cut me off when I'm trying to think of the words I'm looking for and say "I know I know" but she doesn't which is even more frustrating.
Takes mother outside and points to house See this? This is your house Points to self See me? I'm your very not just fine daughter that put tons of work into myself to be where I'm at today Points to son See this? This is MY son. Wether you accept it now or not you are in your grandmother era now. If you begin working against me, I will advise my child that you are no longer an authority figure and your word has no say. This can go whichever path you choose. There is no available path to disrespect me as a mother nor any room to not follow how I parent my son
That's how it should go
Hey love I went through something similar with my mom. I suggest having a private conversation with her and telling her how you feel. Let her know that her advice is valued but ultimately it is your decision the way you bring up your child because you had him. Everyone has different parenting styles and in this case she has to respect yours because it’s her grandson not her son. It’s hard because it’s your mom but if you don’t sit and establish boundaries now that he’s little it’ll lead to more issues in the long run. don’t feel bad for speaking out about your munchkin because it’s important raising him the way you want to. Wishing you the best 🤍
