If my MIL said that (and thankfully she wouldn't - one thing we agree on is no CIO) and I was sleep deprived ('cause I'd have to be sleep deprived to be so bold), I'd tell her "yes he'll be spoilt - he'll grow up knowing his mother loves him." I'd at least think it as a comfort to me. Sorry, just got to get my b!tchiness out. You are doing a great job!
