Pushy MIL

li

My MIL has asked me literally 11 times if I wanted a bulky set of girls furniture that her sister is giving away. I keep telling her that we do not have room for it. We have 2 girls (1 on the weekends) and a baby boy due May 12th in a large 2 bedroom apt. The kids will have to share a room so a full size bed, crib, toys etc WILL NOT FIT! We are planning on getting a bunk bed for the girls and set the crib up.

Now I keep telling her straight up, no... it will not fit. She insists on putting the full size bed in there and I tell her No, bc where will toys and tv, books all that go? Basically I keep telling her that the furniture is nice but NO!!!!

This woman tells me to ask my mom if she wants to keep it until we move and my mom said hell no bc she doesn’t want to store all of that furniture in her house.

I told her to just keep it at her house! Then she says no bc she already has furniture in the one open room she has 🙄

I guess what I’m asking is how do I get her to leave me alone about this damn furniture?

I’m already the kind of person that if I say no the first time after thinking about it, I mean no. I’ve considered all things and when I say no, it is what it is. I was irritated after the 2nd-3rd time & now I feel myself about to get rude...

Oh and she keeps trying to force the middle name “Grey” on me for our son... telling me about how everyone else thinks it sounds so cool and I don’t give a fuuuuuuuck what everyone else thinks sounds cool 🥴

To know me is to know I really could not give a damn! I keep telling her no!

I tell my husband I feel pressured and he gets frustrated with me bc I guess he’s being protective of his mom? But he should tell her to back off!

My mom is just not like that. She’s so respectful of our boundaries as parents and adults and his mom always thinks she has a say in our lives. I can’t stand it.
