Overbearing mother in law!!

Okay I need advice. My mother in law is just wayyyy too much. She shows up here every single day with dinner!!! I am grown! Once and awhile that's so nice but every single day is ridiculous, I sit here all day I would like to make dinner for me and the hubby once and awhile you know? She just makes me feel like a child, and were having a child! It doesn't stop with that she texts or calls me or sometimes even just shows up ridiculously early in the morning and it wakes me up, and is aggravating because I'm so fat along in my pregnancy I can't sleep much because I'm uncomfortable. The other day I was in the bath tub and she freaked out because I didn't answer the door she was pounding and trying to get in and then blew up my phone cause she though something was wrong... I was naked in the bath!!!! Ugh it's just frustrating and I can't say anything because she does do a lot for us and has bought our crib and a ton of stuff for our baby on the way... Any advice?? Am I being mean for getting annoyed?

Haha sounds like my mom!  She's way to much sometimes.  She lives 2 hrs away right now but she was joking Cuz they bought the lot right beside them that they would put a house there for us.. I was like Haha omg no. You'll be over there every minute of the day.  So they are gonna build a garage there instead. Lol.

it would be overbearing having her there every day. It is nice though that she cares that much. Maybe she's worried You'll to in labor when your husband isn't there?

If I was you I would ask your husband to talk to her. Maybe he can tell her that you need some rest and alone time before bubs arrives
