Nope, thats not the plot in someTVdrama.
Then theres herhusbandsbrother Bill, his wife Sandra and their sweet baby Lola.
It was a labor of love, meant to be passed around the family like a cherished treasure.
Karen, however, saw it as her ticket to permanent grandma glory.
When Karen first laid eyes on the crib, she didnt admire it like a normal person.
No, she asked, When are we bringing this over to my house?
Sandra and Bill were confused, not really understanding what she meant by that.
And Karens push for formula feeding?
Oh, that was just part of her master plan.
Breastfeeding doesnt exactly fit into the schedule when youre trying to low-key raise your grandchild as your own.
Honestly, good for her.
I would have probably done the same thing.
The family was speechless but thrilled at the same time.
Sandras transformation from timid to take-no-prisoners mom was a moment of beauty.
Stings, doesnt it, Karen?
Start by setting crystal-clear limits, and dont be afraid to say no without a 15-minute explanation.
Prossay that standing up for yourself doesnt mean turning every disagreement into a dramatic showdown.
Its about knowing your worth and protecting your peace.
Take a page from Sandras book: stay calm but assertive.
If someone pushes too far, address it immediately with confidence.
And yes, practice makes perfect.
The more you flex your boundary-setting muscles, the easier it becomes to shut down unwanted interference.
