So over it

I’m expecting my first child this March and my soon to be SiL is driving me crazy!

A few examples from the last four months:

• Cried and complained to me for a month straight that our MiL would love my baby more than her 3 kids from previous relationships because it will be her first blood grandchild(MiL hasn’t shown any evidence of behaving that way). Which in turn made me feel guilty about being excited about being pregnant.

• Tries to force what she wants for a gender reveal and a baby shower rather than let me and my MiL plan it.

• Expects me to still be in her outdoor wedding a week after I give birth with my week old child being in attendance. If not in it, then still come with my baby.

• Tried to make me feel bad that my husband is excited for the birth of our first child and is super involved with everything, because none of her children’s fathers were.

•Talks to my MiL about my wants for stroller, pack n play etc. instead of letting me talk to her, as a result she has given her the wrong information.

• She complained that my husband doesn’t need any help from her to get our nursery together, such as painting, moving furniture etc.

• She only ever want to talk about baby when she wants to, and it only revolves around her, what she wants to get baby, what she wants to do with baby etc, if I bring it up she quickly changes the subject.

I love her to death but she is trying to hijack my pregnancy and make it all about her and I won’t have it.

The first three months of my pregnancy I was so stressed, walking on eggshells to prevent hurting her feelings but I finally set some boundaries a couple days ago, we’ll see how it goes.
