ok guys I have a bit of a dilemma

So we're considering a third baby maybe when our daughter is 2 or so. We have no family here so my mom flew down to stay with us. It was terrible. She kept telling me I was doing things wrong, saying I was a bad parent..our relationship has changed since then. We used to be close. Anyway I had depression until she left then I was fine. I hate that she made my daughters first few weeks suck. Anyway I'm wondering if when the third comes if she should stay with us again or if I should figure something else out. We really have nobody else who can watch the older two while we're in hospital ...

U can talk to her and tell her to keep her opinions to her self. Advice is one thing, telling u you're a bad mother, is a major no no .. I would not want that in my life, ever. If she can keep her opinions to herself, then it MIGHT work. However, I think people don't change. .she might act ok for first day or so, then back to who she REALLY is.Honestly, if I was in ur shoes , I would try to figure some other way to make it work.

If it didn't work the first time, I wouldn't try it again. You can see if the babies could stay with her until after you deliver or if she could stay in hotel. And what about your SO family? Can they help?

Put your foot down and tell her to keep her comments to yourself unless you ask for them. I had to with my mom because she made me feel like shit. And she doesn't say nothing until I ask.
