A little frustrated!

I think my mother in law hates the fact that my son looks like me!
We spent a lot of time with them this weekend. First we went to one of Stephen's baby cousins birthday on Saturday and stayed fairly late, then we went to watch the Superbowl with them at their house on Sunday.
At the birthday party a lot of the family said that Matt looked like me. Many of them hadn't seen him since he was born or shortly after so he has changed tremendously! I wager to say that 90% of the Stephen's cousins, aunts, and uncles said that Matt has most of my charateristics. I was pretty excited to say the least. But not my mother-in-law! She kept saying that the cheeks aren't mine, they are Stephen's when he was a baby. That Matt's chin isn't mine, that it's from HER mom's side of the family and that his eyes are like's Stephen's when he wasa baby too!! What is wrong with Matt looking like me? I honestly see both of us in this child but if you see baby pics of me, we are identical! I've even showed her the pics...but NOOOOO Matt is only Stephen and his side of the family. She openly tells everyone that Matt is ALL Stephen! I love my husband and I'm very glad that the baby resembles him, but it's really hard to deny that I'm in there too! He even lifts up his eyebrow like I do! Stephen can't do that. When she said all that I just brush it off and let her say what she wants to say. But yesterday...

We dropped the baby off before the superbowl because Stephen and I are taking Chinese language classes and needed her to take care of him so we could do that. At her house, there was one of her sisters who hadn't seen the baby (she is one of 15 kids; 12 girls and 3 boys!). The first thing Tia T said, "OMG! He looks just like Blanca! Look at those chubby cheeks!" I had a huge grin until my mom-in-law said, "No he doesn't, He looks like Stephen. Stephen's cheeks were just like that." WOW!!! Really? Am I that bad looking? Why doesn't she want the baby to look like me? I was very angry, but I held it in, like I always do. She is in total denial.

GRRRRRRRRRR!!

We've never had problems with her really. She has said somethings that I didn't like, but I tell and vent to Stephen. I don't want to start anything. So I'll just pout and grumble on here!!
