Mother in laws.

Is anyone elses mil confused about who's having the baby here?
i know shes excited, but the way she talks about our baby is like she's the one having her and can't wait to do everything with her.
My fiance thinks I'm over reacting about it, but I'm making specific rules. which she can think is ridiculous all she wants, but she needs to realize she's not the mom of our baby, and she needs to respect my feelings and decisions.

The #1 thing I'm worried about is her going to try and take/hold the baby first over me and my fiance. It's our baby. i carried her for 9 months. we will be the first ones to hold/touch our first baby.

Just curious if alot of MILs act like this or not.
we always got along before i got pregnant, now i can't stand how she thinks she has some type of authority about what goes on with our new baby (that hasn't arrived yet).

My mil is crazy too. We got a long good before. But now shes always on my nerves. And when I'm like I can't eat lunch meat or fish or all the stuff they say not to do shes like o I did that with all my kids and they are fine.

When I told my in laws I'm pregnant his mother said well, you are both f****d ... I'm still mad at her reaction but now she wants to touch my belly and be around me. I rather stay home then go visit her...

My bfs who family has opinions about my pregnancy. My bfs dad and sister suggested a abortion. My bf has bipolar and fear he's not mature and will pass it on. My MIL has been planning a huge baby shower since she found out. Her baby shower is all people I have never met. I take it one day at a time. I think some people must butt out!

My MIL is absolutely certifiable. She thinks she's entitled to helping us name the baby & wants to buy everything. She's already implied that she wants to be in the delivery room & she'll be taking a week or two off to help after birth. There is NO ******* WAY I honestly don't trust her to be around. As far as her & everyone's comments on how I need to have this baby & raise it, I'm already over it @ 11 weeks! My husband knows that his mother is crazy, I'm really not exaggerating, but she is such a victim & has been all her life that he & everyone really seem to just enable her. I can't imagine to what extent she'll go now, pulling the wedding off was hard enough. I'm scared of her actions, it might come down to hurt feelings but she will never be alone with my child.

Yes beem there done that, been better this time so far but we'll see. Makes me so annoyed sometimes.

My Mom is like this.  She treats my sisters twins like they are her babies.. She even calls them her babies.  I Really hope she's not like that with my baby.  She already told me she was moving in with us when baby was born and I had to kindly tell her that she can come to visit but she doesn't have to move in.  She was a little upset but she understands.

Oh god yes! Im living with my husband and his parents until we're able to afford a house on our own and been living here my whole pregnancy. I get really frustrated too, its one thing to give advice (even if i dont want it) but its another thing to just butt into everything and try to force her ideas and beliefs onto me. And thinking she has control. The other day say she said, "go ahead and go buy yourself some stuff with the money we got from the baby shower, we'll see what we need for the baby later on, we pretty much have everything." Uh ok lady, I'LL see what I need to buy for her later on haha she's nuts. Thinking its me, my husband, and her having the baby together. Just dont let her in the delivery room if she's not respecting your authority, i wont let mine in. Yes, she'll want to be there with her son, but let your feelings be known.
Phew, been wanting to get that off my chest.

I think because they have been thoug it before they think their the expert and no best. When there not, everyone does things differently.  You do what you think right for your baby. Just dont let them take over they think there probably just trying to help. So dont realize the way they come across. Just be straight with her.  

[rosealie23]

Mil are like that. Most of them want to control your lives.

[ashleydawnheck123]

Don't allow her in the delivery room!! Personally I wouldn't if she is that disrespectful and doesn't respect your wishes.

My SIL is like this.  My MIL is ok but my SIL tells me the same things all the time... drives me crazy.
