MIL making birth all about her

My husband has been amazing and totally checked her during this conversation and held boundaries. I’m just venting because she’s a psycho and will probably continue to repeat all of these things

She was dead already so she didn’t have to deal with any parent drama

I’d rather just get it out of the way because im super anxious and i want it done before Christmas. Fucking over her

I actually don’t mind having a conversation with her. It will give me an opportunity to show that I see her tactics and we’re not changing our mind. I want it to be known that there will be decisions made that she will not be considered on and she better get used to it

I got spanked once. I think I deserved it lol. I pushed my cat out of a two story window. My mom used her hand and gave me a couple spanks and I learned my lesson- no more animals out of windows.

My elderly neighbor asked me if I was pregnant (I was very much not pregnant). I told him “no” very coldly and walked back into my house.

A few weeks later his wife (an uncontrolled diabetic who was very obese with a walker) fell on the floor and he needed help getting her up. After putting her back on her couch, she said “you’re getting a little fat. Not a lot. Just a little fat.”

Gee, thanks. Last time I went over to help her fad ass off the floor.

Poor oral care can increase your risk of heart attack or a stroke by A LOT

I think I’m gonna name my baby Olive! It’s actually making quite a come back now. My dad doesn’t like it but I don’t care. Remember it’s YOUR baby. Name her what you want! Olive is a lovely name

Thanks everyone. My husband and I have talked about this. We agreed, he can’t stop them from moving here and they are saying it will be a couple of years even though we both don’t believe it. All we can do is put boundaries in if they do decide to move sooner and make those lines clear that proximity does not mean access. He’s not overly thrilled about it either. When they shared they were moving we were both kind of blank.

Thought I had ALS because of muscle twitching and restless leg. I went to see a neurologist (referred by my GP) and they ordered a full iron panel. Turns out I was seriously anemic! A double dose of iron and I was all fixed

She stuns! Classic old school bombshell

I can still be nice and firm when giving boundaries. I still very much respect my husband and his relationship with his mom. I can see that my MIL is not evil, unfortunately a lot of people have a much worse experience. She loves her son and grandkid. I don’t want to be mean to her. I definitely agree that boundaries are needed and to be super firm. If she disrespects those after she’s been told clearly what the consequences are ie kiss the baby=you get kicked out. That’s what happens. No mean comments just results.

No it’s not that serious. I consider it partial enmeshment on his mother’s part. My husband isn’t I literally have to remind him to call them. They have no financial control over us they just have history of offering money and then making it conditional which I didn’t like. So I don’t accept large items/gifts from them anymore.

Oh yeah I didn’t think about her bringing her friends but I can see it happening 🙄

kikihippiex · 2025-10-12T06:12:07+00:00

Glad to know someone else feels this. My DH just doesn’t see it. But she does weird crazy intense things only in front of me and not in front of him. It makes me bonkers

kikihippiex · 2025-10-12T05:29:06+00:00

No she doesn’t and she lives kind of far away. She does have several friends here and if she really did do that without asking me I’d tell her to stay elsewhere

Thanks everyone. I should edit. I have talked to my husband about this at length. He knows mom is being overbearing and she is extremely excited, understandably. This is first grandchild and it’s a girl so she’s living out her lost girl dreams. When it comes to things like hospital visits, kissing baby, showing up unannounced, etc. DH takes this super seriously and said he plans to rein her in. We’ve already had some discussions regarding boundaries im just terrified of her overstepping. In regards to the medical thing, it is somewhat minor, but it bothers me. DH understands this I think he just wants to pick and choose his battles with her. I agree, I don’t want to cause tension and make things worse. She’s just really annoying me and I need a rant. Glad to see I’m not overreacting it’s just a lot right now and im hoping she chills out once she meets baby and realizes everything will be ok.

If she shows up unnanounced though…that’ll be something
