Dad Is Livid Over His Mother-In-Law Sneakily Breastfeeding His Daughter And Firing The Nanny Without Consulting Him, Calls The Cops On Her

A widowed dad who lost his wife Anne, 34, just minutes after she gave birth to their first baby Sammy, recently shared a story that blasted the internet. In a post on r/AITA, the dad who goes by the handle u/SammyandMe35 said that before going back for work, he asked his mother-in-law Sandra if she could recommend a nanny and she offered to do it for free.

Things then took a weird turn. “Everything was fine for the first couple of weeks until I noticed that Sammy’s not feeding as much. Her formula’s barely touched,” the dad recounted. But when he asked the MIL why the baby wasn’t feeding well, “She said she’s trying to breastfeed my daughter,” and added that “at first I thought she was joking, then I realized she wasn’t.”

It soon turned out this wasn’t the first time Sandra had tried to secretly breastfeed the baby and it was far from the only thing that pushed the dad to the brink of his nerves.

Recently, a widowed dad shared how he called the cops on his mother-in-law for trespassing after she entered his home and fired his babysitter

That woman doesn't want a granddaughter, she's trying to replace her dead daughter.

I hope OP doesn't hire that nanny back either. She was fired by someone who was a stranger to her, and didn't think to contact the person who hired her (the OP) to check a) if that was the case and b) if it was ok to leave the baby with this woman claiming to be his mother.

I think it may be more nuanced and not so b&w. Considering the MIL was there more than the father and had more contact with the nanny, coming and going as she pleases, there may not have been clarity of who was in charge. As far as we and maybe even the father knows, the MIL could have more than implied she was. The father had the responsibility for o communicate to nanny that even tho MIL is always present, she doesn’t make the decisions

I am absolutely stunned. For the first time reading these AITA posts I am shocked senseless. Just wow. NTA for the action taken for sure, however you are the AH for not protection your daughter from that mentally ill woman after the first discovery. Something as wrong as that should be a first strike and you are out kind of situation. That kind of messed up behavior does NOT deserve a second chance.
