mom's who know more than you do! UGH

Keep in mind my kom lives with my boyfriend & I. My bf wants a Bob tail kitten, I said yes. My mom thinks it's this horrible thing to have cats and dogs around babies & is telling me how to raise my child who isn't even here yet! I'm just 21 weeks! It pisses me off. She wasn't around for me and my sister when we were younger so now she's telling us ee can't have a cat around the baby? Um.. what? Does anyone else have this problem with their mom?

The only issue I have with my mom is she think I be over exaggerating when it comes to me being in pain...she always says she had 3 kids & that ill be fine...like when I told her I had sciatica she said no i don't I'm just pregnant...My doctor had confirmed that I did and he words was "oh wow"...it's kinda irritating to me when people assume that all pregnancies are the same when they know their not

My boyfriend & I both never really had mom's when we were younger so we plan on raising our baby how we feel is right. Poo on what everyone else thinks. It's just nerve wracking.

I don't get the not wanting you guys to nurse??? My mom is so pro nursing. I don't get why someone wouldn't want you to. I have been in a situation like that with my husband's grandmother though. In a sense if she's helping out that much you just have to be respectful but your child is your and you should raise them as you find fit.

No every time I try to talk to her I'm being a smart *** and not appreciative bc she pays "everything" everything including the charter bill which is 2 months behind. I don't even bother with it. Starts a fight every time

See I'm 18. I've been on my own since I was 16. I bought my first car and everything.  She asked to move in after her divorce for a few weeks (which has now been since april) I told her the only things I asked of her was to not gripe about my dogs and my boyfriend smoking weed. I've got 3 dogs which are all greatly taken care of ! She said they were malnourished bc I left one morning and didn't feed or give them water. I was gone for 3 hours! Not all day! Now this and bout a cat?! What the hell. I can't stand it. I bite my tongue all the time bc she's my mom but w this **** about her telling me what I need to do with my baby and what's not good for it is really getting old. I feel for all yall women
I clean daily. I've got to my rottie is shedding right now do that is no problem. My soon 2 be M.I.L says she doesn't want me breast feeding either. Lol it told her she had her chance and that this wasn't her kid. Lol

lol I know exactly what your going through. my bfs mom lives with us.  she has tried to implement her opinion on everything. she tries to tell me what to do all the time and since I've been pregnant it got even worse. she tries to bully me into going along with what she wants all the time. just remember this is your baby. if you wanna get a kitten then you two should get one don't let your mother bully you with what she believes is right. everyone has different views when it comes to raising children

My mom will mention things to me here and there. I always...I mean always look back and say dam she was right. lol She is never pushy but just mentions things. Like when she told me not to get a cat...God I wish I listened. Now I have a child who will freak if I get rid of the cat, tears in my carpet and wall, food and litter on my floor that needs cleaned daily, and he needs brushed everyday or hair goes everywhere. Even then, I vacuum daily.

It's a known fact that children with cats or dogs have a higher immune system because they've grown up around germs so tell her that!

Ugh just ignore it or tell her politely but sternly I think I know what's best for me and mine
