Gotta love those in laws! :)

Alittle background first....my husband's mom was married 3 times. No biggie, i get along with all 3 and everyones extremely excited for the baby since its the first grandchild and great grand child. Love them all dearly. I recently posted our baby announcement on facebook. Exhusband #2 comments jokingly "this baby is gonna have alot of grandfathers." My husband's mom shares my baby anouncement on fb and says "im gonna be a grandmom!!", and current husband #3 comments on her post "im gonna be a pop pop!!"

Well, this takes us to last night...are u with me so far? Great! My husband's dad texts my hubby and goes "i want this baby to call me pop pop." He goes on to explain in detail on genuine reasons and importance, and how he feels. My husband and I get it, truly we do, and we even say we will talk to mom about it. No biggie. We thought, okay, thats over! Around 12am, i see a facebook post for all our family and friends to see from my husbands dad about "my son and daughter in law are having a baby, my exwifes 3rd husband wants to be called pop pop, am i wrong to want "dibs" on that name since its my son's baby...blah blah.."

Are you serious?! We immediately told him to take it down, which he did. He began to explain that he was just seeking advice, and was sorry. It really didnt come off that way to be honest, to me, it sounded like you were marking your territory. I was sympathetic and understanding to his request the first time around, but now im just pissed. I feel like its a pissing contest quite frankly and my baby is some sort of prize. Not cool. You had to air out dirty laundry on a social media site, where anyone we know could have seen it. Am i wrong to be pissed?

We said we would handle it, and instead of trusting us to handle the situation delicately, he goes and does something like that. Has anyone else have parents/step parents/ in laws etc that have done this or come across some type of entitlement over a baby? I feel like if it starts today with just a name, it'll be who gave the baby the biggest birthday present tomorrow, or haha in your face i held the baby first, or i love the baby more. I'm not having that at all. *Sarcastically, its not like i have anything more important to think about these days, im just the one pregnant for the first time. Any similar situations would be comforting. I really do appreciate it..Sigh...thanks for letting me vent. Hope everyone is well and hanging in there! 19 weeks today! Find out the gender Monday!!! Yay!!!
