Wait why in hell would she throw a baby shower that you couldn't come to.? Sounds like she's a pyscho bitch and I'd keep her away as much as possible.
My MIL had a baby shower I wasn't invited to
She threw a baby shower for me in Michigan and didn't have me fly out there for it. That's ok, she had everyone get me gift cards. Now she won't send the gift cards to me because she wants to go shopping with me when she comes out for the birth. We just moved halfway across the country and are very low on funds. I have no baby stuff yet. I don't want to go buy a bunch of baby stuff AFTER baby is born especially after I just squeezed out a baby! She just wants to dictate what I buy for the baby. My husband told her she can not hold the gift cards hostage. She still has not sent hem 2 weeks later. I'm ready to tell her to just not even come visit because she is being selfish. She does his kind of stuff allllll of the time. She offered to pay for certain things in our wedding but wouldn't let me make any decisions about it since she was paying. She seems like she has good intentions and then ruins it by acting like this. I'm so frustrated

Hey everyone I think she sent the gift cards finally!!! We have been calling her every day asking her and finally she said she sent them yesterday and I have to sign for the package and it will be here Friday so we will see! Lol! I bet it pissed her off so bad inside to send those since she can't dictate what I buy! She's like " I'm sending you a crib and bedding, and I'm bringing new clothes for him what else could you need right away? " Uuhm try diapers, wipes, bottles, bottle brushes, breastfeeding supplies, swing, bouncer, ect.... Lol she's just a nut. She's already talkin about what we are doing for Christmas!!!!! I hunk she has good intentions and then doesn't realize she turns it into a selfish thing.
Er
Totally agree with Joanna here! But she reminds me of mine...it starts off looking like a good intention but then they say or do something to ruin it all!!! Good luck!

She doesn't sound like a monster that's for sure. A monster wouldn't do crap for you guys
Ask her how you are supposed to send thank you cards if he doesn't send them? Also, do you know anyone who was there? Casually mention something to Someone who attended about how they came to the shower and tell them "I can wait to buy something specialWith your gift cardwhen MIL (name) gets around to sending it to me."
Ridiculous! Is there another meme of the family who can help, like an aunt. I can't imagine that those who gave the gifts would be happy about the arrangement. Maybe someone can go talk some sense into her/make her send them to you.
Sa
Oh no!! Awful!!
He
Lol my sister in law tried to steal them from her house to send them to us and they ended up getting in a fight about it. It's all so ridiculous hahaha
I guess it's your husband that has to do something about this....but most of the times they don't have the guts to look their "mommies" in the eye and say what's the right thing to do as we would! (Talking from self experience here) I hope he does and tells her to give you a break!!! Good luck!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tell her not to come!! My in laws aren't that bad, but I'm not a fan of my FIL he is very creepy and teaches my son things I don't want. Make it very clear now if she does that she will not see the baby. You are the only person in the world that will care for that baby the right way. My sister also just went through something with her inlaws and they are not allowed to be with the kids alone. It is hard since you don't want to hurt feelings but trust me they will get over it, or leave you alone after a while. You need to do what's best for you and the baby! I learned that the hard way and it's harder to stand up for you a d your family when you don't put your foot down right away
Sounds like your MIL is a lot like mine, but eventually with her delusions of grandure mentality and controlling crazy ways we cut her of our life's for good. ( Husband's doing, he's great for sticking up for me.) I wish you lots of luck and atleast you live far away. :) <3

We had to do the same thing! I think they have a serious problem letting go of their boys and realizing they are not the main maternal figure in his life anymore. That's how it is with mine anyway!
