my baby my ways

I cannot stand how people want to tell me what to do or how to parent. Everyone has opinions but its my baby, I'm in control I pick what he's going to wear and not and I'm so sick of hearing negative comments or opinions I know you can't stop people from stating their opinions but what should I say when people try to but in like god go make your own baby and pick tf you want to do this is my control only me and daddy no one else ****

Unfortunately its my own mother who triesnto influence things.

Mother in law doesn't really want anything to do with this baby as she already has two granddaughter's (who will be 12 & 9 from my fiances ex wife) and a grandson (who just turned 2 and lives with her full time as her daughter gave up rights to him in a domestic spout)

My mother has tried influencing me on the baby name, things to buy. But there are times it infureantes me beyond belief.

Every time she wants to buy something, she wants it to be pink, pink, pink. But I'm still worrier the tech got the sex wrong. She seemed rushed and unsure when she said "looks like its a girl".

So I have to keep reminding her "neutral items". But when she gets into a store by herself its all pink and white and dresses. Luckily I was able to put my foot down about the car seat, stroller and pack-n-play, (which will serve as the bassinet until the baby is big enough as well as a changing table) and get neutral colors so I can keep it (if it is a boy) and reuse it (in case it is a girl and we have a boy next).

I was worried I'd have issues with the mother in law about religion (my fiance and I aren't really religious, her church on the other hand is a little out of hand crazy) but she really doesn't want anything to do with it. She claims she wants to help out, but really she's just preparing herself for her daughters first born girl in case court decides to take that baby too from her. (due in a few months.)

A church member had triplet girls and gave totes full of triple baby girl clothes to my mother in law. She said she'd go through it and take st least 1 of every outfit and give them to her daughter and me, but she " only managed to get s few things seperated" when he daughter had a fit and took the whole tote home with her.

I told her it didn't bother me, that any little bit helped and I appreciated it, but then told me she was going to keep am the clothes,baby bed and hats she said she was going to give to my fiance and I in case the newborn got taken from her daughter and came to live with her.

Ita really no skin off my back, I didn't expect to really get anything anyway from her so I guess what's irritating is her saying shed help and then retracting it.

Courts haven't said anything about removing the newborn at all.

My mother in law got mad at me once and said it's bs ima hold my baby all the time and she barely gets too.  Then she tries to tell me where ima put his swing. She gets mad that she don't get to be in the delivery room. She acts like she got me pregnant -_-

I know how you feel its ridiculous. My boyfriends mom tries controlling everything and im only 11 weeks preg. She tried to change the baby name i picked to what she wanted n kept insisting i change it to what she says. She told me not to announce my pregnancy till im almost going to have the baby and even makes sure im not wearing tight pants everyday. Honestly it's only going to continue till we draw the line and nicely tell her to back off.
