mother in law problems?

[rowlie16]

My ex mother in law is being an absolute pain, since I had my little boy 2 years ago she treats me like something she's stood in - even though before hand we got along great. I'm 37 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and first day of maternity started today. I was hoping to use this week to spend as much time with my little boy before the new born arrives howvere I've upset my mother in law because of this... She used to have him on a Wednesday for me to work, however as I'm no longer working I took it that she wouldn't ha've him. I've had a text message today to say that she will be picking him up on my Wednesday morning & I've replied to say that I had already made plans with him... However I don't know if I am being unreasonable or not? Im keeping my son in creche when I'm off work as he will be in school next year & think it will do him well to mixbut if she still has him all day one day a week in my eyes it's pointless me working. Since I found I was pregnant she hasn't once bothered to buy the new baby anything and has bought my son everything including doing out a room in her house for him. Should I say something now and risk upsetting her or keep my mouth shut and dance to her tune like I've done the last 2 years?

I'm going threw something like that as well I think you should let her know how you feel. Hopefully you to would be able to clear the air before your baby comes. She should be able to understand how you feel and just let her know it she will still be needed.

I have 2 kid from other relationships none of them like the fact that I am having another baby but I got pissed off and I told them how I felt and how things were going to go and that I would do my best not to take any time from them but if it happens I'm not going to go put of my way to make them happy they are my kid and ever sense then they have bin more understanding and less upset about everything I think you should talk to her and make it as nice as you can but tell her how things need to go for a while and see what happens it mite make it worse or better its your call but at some point you have to put your foot down and say enough is enough you can't live by her rules for ever

Pointless me being off on maternity I meant.
