I don't know what to do?
Well my Mil (Claire) is getting on my nerves my 2 year old baby Jada loves her more than me and I have to go to work and Mil usually babysits and spoils her. A couple weeks ago my mil came over I was holding Jada and she just snatched her out of my arms and said "aww! Is my little Jada happy to see me? Jada immediately smiles and then says Mommy!? To her grandma my husband and I correct her and say I'm mommy that's grandma Claire flips out and says I think she has the right to call me mommy I'm the one who takes care of her! I get so angry and yell back "I'm the mother of this child and I gave birth to her Jada is mine not yours her: you know Jada loves me more. I snatch Jada off her arms my husband than talks to her but she doesn't listen and she storms out of our house. Me and my husband have planned to go on a vacation just me him and Jada later on I apoligized to Claire and she told us she wanted to tag along the trip but I don't want her to?

1) How many hours of babysitting does she do each week?
2) Has she helped with babysitting since your Jada was born?
3) How much do you pay her each week?
4) What would you do if she wasn't living near you to babysit?
You need to either keep your mouth shut or have your husband take a second job so you can stay home full time to care for your son.
As far as the trip goes, this is an issue you need to have a sit down talk with your husband about. He doesn't want to get in the middle of the argument because he will do what his mother wants since she has done so much (?free) babysitting. Looks like you will have to stick it out with her this vacation (shorten the vacation plan now if possible) and start planning future babysitting and trips well ahead of time. But I still want my 4 questions answered.

If she won't listen and accept that u don't want her there then why don't u just not answer any calls or texts from anyone including her (unless u have to) and tell her how you just want this trip to be family and not have youself or husband be distracted and so u can give ur child ful attention. She would have to in stand by then that this is fanily and she would have no way of contacting u so there's nothing she could do. Or just have a serious convo with her

She sounds like a nightmare. Tell your husband you want time to bond with your baby and have some alone time as a family, he should stick up for you since his mother is in the wrong! When that baby called her mommy she should have corrected the child herself, and for her to think its ok for her grandchild to call her mommy is actually not normal. If she really cared for her grandchild she would want yourself and your child to bond and it looks as if she is coming between that, stand your ground and don't put up with it!

This is not a good situation. Do not let her go on the vacation with you. You and your husband need to be with the baby alone. And try to find someone else to take care of her while you work.
