How to let mil down gently.
My husband is military so we live about 14 hours away from my mil. Our baby is due in April and she has made it very clear she WILL be there for the birth. Even making comments she hopes I have a long labor so she can make it on time for the birth. And how I BETTER make sure I call her the second I’m in labor. Now my husband is on deployment and there’s a HUGE possibility he won’t even be able to be there for our sons birth but she INSISTS she NEEDS to be there. At first I was ok with her being in the room if my husband wasn’t there but she is one of the most over bearing annoying people I have ever met and I honestly don’t even want her to come down and visit. She wants to stay for THREE weeks. If my husband does get to come home for the birth we will have 4 days before the baby’s due(mind you baby comes when baby wants) so instead of being able to spend time with my husband As freely as I want(if you know what I mean lol) We will have to accommodate to her, and shes very in your space with my husband so I know she’s gonna want to be around him every second. And then.. when my husband and I are trying to be new parents we will have our mil with all of her opinions and overbearing ness over our shoulder for THREE WEEKS! Of course my husband doesn’t care because he’s a mommas boy but this lady has already said how she feels like our baby is her son... NO. I’ve tried compromising with my husband to see if she can come a few weeks AFTER the baby and he said no so I just need advice on how to put my foot down! Or maybe I’m crazy and should just get over it lol also financially I’m stressed out because that’s three weeks we will have to financially care for her because she won’t get paid for taking off work, she already has financial issues like us having to pay her bills because she can’t so hows it gonna be when she doesn’t work for THREE weeks ugh she doesn’t even know our sounds dang name... she’d been telling multiple people a different name (when we had many conversations about what his name is plus it’s all over social media) and when I corrected her she stared at me for a se and just said oh like she was disappointed the name wasn’t what she wanted!
