mother in laws...

i told my MIL that i wanted to go back to my moms, and at first she was trying to say that i have to be where her son is because i decided to be with him. I tried explaining that if i have the option if staying there or going back to my moms when the baby is born that id rather go there, its my home, where i grew up, where im most confortable. So she asked me why i wanted to leave, that what about her housee i didnt like and i told her it wasnt anything specific, just a comfort thing. And that since my partner works all day and gets home really late id rather be in a place where i can be who i am and raisw my daughter the way i want ...i wouldbt be able to do it there, shes soo overwhelming. Anywho, so she knows im pretty much wanting to leave. That theres a huge chance that i will, and she keeps telling her son that we need to start moving upstairs or moving to the room next door because she doesnt want the baby where we sleep now, and it frustrates me becauase she tells him in front of me, like "when are you guys going to start movibf your stuff, i dont want the baby in here" ...and im like, didnt i just have an hour conversation with you about us leaving? ... why are mother in laws so overwhelming. :( Not trying to be mean but my mom is nothing like that, she gives me my privacy and i can tell her no when i want. I cant do that to my mil in her house, i feel so rude and ungrateful....ughhh..

yes ladies!!! whyy is it so complicated!! lol mines is really nice, but shes only thinking of herself by wanting us there...she thinks that if we leave that he wont help her anymore. But that wouldnt change, andd i think shes a little jealous because she says she would rather us move into our own place and of courae i would want that too but we have to put that off for a couple months so what would be the difference if we go to my moms? idk shes just ... overbearing sometimes

Mine is trying to make me move. This is my first child and I want to be near my family. She is mad because I won't move away with her son. So now she is saying I don't love him or support him. So I understand completely.
