Is my MIL being overbearing?
My husband and I have been together for ten years. Out of the ten years, 7 were as boyfriend and girlfriend. When our wedding came, I felt pushed to make her happy and please her with all the things she wanted for our wedding day. I allowed it all because I thought it would make her happy in which it did.
All the while she kept telling us to wait to have kids. Wait at least 3 years, how I need my degree, focus on school etc.... we'll We just found out we're pregnant and of course we told our parents. We just had our first appointment and my MIL, has a list of people she wants me to tell. She called me ASAP after my appointment and told me in order who I need to call. She wanted to share the news with her best girlfriend even though they just told her that their daughter had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. I was only 4 weeks when she told them. We're having a family get together and she wants me to announce it than. Family as in my FIL's side of family for family reunion. People I'm not close to but have on fb. I'll only be 8 weeks. I'm not comfortable sharing with them because I feel it's still early in my pregnancy. My MIL made me scared by telling me of that miscarriage of her friends, and also telling me " not everyone will take that news positively..." My MIL also just informed me that she down loaded an app to track my pregnancy.... I'm a little weirded out. But I'm starting to get nervous. She's openly talked about my pregnancy In front of others thinking they can't hear her. But when I tell her " we'd like to be the one's to give the news." She redirects and says " that's a smart decision." I know she's excited but I feel like she's too much sometimes.
