nagging mother-in-law...

Okay so when we conceived we decided to wait until the baby was born to find out the sex. My boyfriends mom keeps asking me if she can find out, every time I see her all she ever asks is if she can come with me and find out the sex. I can't think of any other way to say no at this point. Another thing, she continues to ask to be in the delivery room... I personally want my man, and MY mom in the room. I told her this and she acted like I just stabbed her in the eye. I feel like she doesn't respect my boundaries because she won't quit asking me about it. I would ask my boyfriend to take care of it as she is a little more receptive to him but he is away for the next 6 weeks... I am going insane!!!!

My mother in law is very pushy as well my husband and I are first time parents but she acts as if we cant think on our own . Saying our son doesn't need this and that but I just ignore it and go about my plans. I guess because they feel more experienced in the baby depot they think we want their opinions all the time.

My MIL wanted to be in the room with my first but she's a chain smoker and I don't know her that well and didn't want her in there and she was pissed because my mom was in there saying she has other grand kids why does she get to see her first acting like my mom was in there for that reason not for me. And now she wants to be in there with this one because my husband told her with the first that she can be with the second when we never planned on having a second. I can't stand it. She wouldn't be there to help me with delivery she would just take inappropriate pictures and post them online when told not to and just make me sick because the smell of smoke. Ugh! Can't stand em!

My boyfriends sister also is like this. She wanted to go to all my appointments and go in the delivery room and act like shes my mom anni was like I have a mom and you need to quit. The thing that makes me mad is that she didn't have anything to do with me until I got pregnant and ever time she ever talked to me she had something rude to say so why should I let her be involved now. And my boyfriend acts like im being mean to her. Im just not gonna let my child stay with someone who doesn't like me.shes always saying when the baby is born ill keep her every weekend. I swear its so annoying.

My bf sister is the same way! She bugged the crap out of us saying she wanted to be in the delivery room and be the first person to hold my baby, she wanted to be there when we found out what we wrre having. She wants to go to every dr. Appointment with me. I cant leave my bf to tell her anything he backs down and becomes a coward when it comes to dealing with his older sister. So i told her no, she took it the wrong way of course, kept bugging me. So i finally said yea! That sounds lile a cool idea, dropped the subject, and quit talking to her. Havent heard anything since
