mother in law

Does anyone else have a mother in law who thinks its okay to post what the gender of your baby is before you or your husband have the chance to? Or post pictures of the baby's room before us too? And says it doesn't matter that she posted it because it only went out to her friends and not any of ours... and be mad at us for saying that it wasnt her place to have posted it yet and that she just wants to show her excitement for the baby and mad at us for not letting her. How do you deal with people like this? Seriously I'm 19 weeks pregnant and I'm so upset about this and she makes it seem like its not even a big deal. Its my f-ing baby and she has taken things away from me that I will never get back.

Anotherboyinnovforthismommy I actually think your crazy it is HER child and she only has to share whatever her and her partner are comfortable with sharing, her child is not a toy it will be her son/daughter and she has the absolute right to be in charge (alongside the father) of anything to do with him and if people don't understand that then she has the RIGHT to put her foot down and say her child her rules and they need to be respected.

Don't forget she's your baby's grandmother. I completely disagree with the idea that the child is all yours that's ridiculous. When it domes to how you raise your child ok yes. But everything else is to be shared. And remember hormones make you feel strongly about things that won't matter latter.
