My mom wants to kidnap Olive for 6 months if only it wasn't for breastfeeding. She hates New York and wants to raise her in LA, at least for a little while.
Do your parents or in laws ever threaten to kidnap your LO?

From day one my MIL has wanted to kidnap my daughter. It really made for some really tense and awkward few months. She lives downstairs from us and is always trying to take her or keep her longer than I'm willing to part with her.
-
Not not a all. but they are also really close to us. I can't imagine having one across the country. Then probably they would want to kidnap my children.
-
Yes, so do my sisters. I'm sensing some boundary issues. My husband made the request to hold the baby after I do when he is first born and you would swear that I beat them then ripped out their heart. They still seem to be a little hurt that my husband will hold his child before they do.

My MIL wants to kidnap my daugther. At first it was cute. But now, not so much. We will be at my in-laws' house and the baby will be cranky and fussy and it'll be time for us to go home but my MIL will just say, "No, you can't leave yet." Or, she'll continue to feed us just to keep us there longer. I think she feels resentment that my daughter spends more time at my parents' house than she does at my in-laws'.

@bakingabug-- that's hilarious! LOL.
My mom wants to totally kidnap our kid(s)... and we're not even pregnant yet! She tells me she already loves them. Ha.
-
My parents have been mentioning how they could just take DD home with them since the day she was born. I just remind them that I'm not ok with that (they live 5 hours away and she's only 16 months), but they have yet to drop the subject. My parents never dropped me or my sisters off at my grandparents for an unsupervised stay, so I don't know why they think I would be ok with it.
-
Yes my mom does since she lives in Hawaii but I think that she only says it because she knows we would never let her do that. The MIL wants nothing to do with child care!
-
I have a fear that my inlaws will try to get inside my husband's head and convince him to leave me and bring the baby with him. We're on better terms now but during my pregnancy they said a lot of crazy things about how I would never be able to keep them away from her and those statements still ring strongly in my ears. MIL also will comment on pictures and things on facebook and say things like "oh thats my beautiful baby" and other things that imply she belongs to them. Its kinda creepy.
-
My crazy MIL threatened to run off with the baby once. I was super mad. She also refers to him as her baby. Not a chance lady. I have no patience for her shenanigans.
Laneybugsmommy, I feel your pain. My ILs were/are like that too. When they act crazy like that, it makes me want to stop the Saturday morning visits.
-
I'm the only child and my son Jovani is their first grandchild. They always say they want to kidnap him and keep him..haha! They are just joking though. They love him to death and cant get enough of him.
-
My mom would be totally thrilled if our baby went to live with her. She lives 3 hours away, but I visit a lot (since the hubs hunts on their property) so she gets to see Charlie a lot. At first I was super irritated about her hogging my daughter all the time, and now I'm so welcome for the relief! I get to take naps or go on walks and just do all sorts of "alone" things. My MIL is super respectful of space, but she also has 2 highschool daughters that keep her busy. So that helps regulate visitation times
-
@belleoftheballe: my mom ALWAYS calls my lo her baby too! Ummmm.... whose who ha did she come out of?
My mom doesn't flat out say she's taking my baby but she is preparing her house for it. She has everything you need for a baby. And we live 10 minutes away so it's not like we have lots of weekend sleepovers. So I always joke that she thinks my lo will live at her house, only I'm not really joking.

My mother always wants my daughter and I gladly hand her over. Of course she's five now so I am more than happy to get a break. ^_^
