Overbearing mother in law
My baby is 2.5 weeks old. And my MIL has been completely horrible since her delivery. Due to really high blood pressure I had to be induced a week early. I found out I was being induced on a Monday afternoon and the induction was scheduled for first thing Wednesday morning. My MIL was talking about coming to the hospital for the labor and I told her I didn't want anyone there but my mom and my husband until after the baby was delivered. She gave me a huge guilt trip about how she was the grandmother and I explained that I'm not comfortable with people seeing me in labor and being so exposed and reminded her of my health issues and that I needed to stay can during the labor to help keep my blood pressure down. She didn't care and still relentlessly voiced her upset over not being allowed there. It ruined the whole experience and made my husband and I fight the whole night prior to the induction instead of focus on what was really important, the birth of our daughter.
Since then she has continued to be horrible. She feels like she isn't seeing the baby enough even though she was over 4 times the week we brought her home from the hospital. Since then I told her we aren't having visitors and are focusing on having family time just my husband, the baby and me and she doesn't respect that. She asks my husband if she can come over when I say no. And I try to be nice and send her pictures and updates on the baby and I get passive aggressive responses about how she isn't seeing enough of the baby. Tonight she sent me a text blaming me for the fact that my husband never calls her. I just can't take it anymore!!! I've never been rude during This whole ordeal and remain as polite as possible. It's really starting to put strain on my relationship with my husband. He says agrees with me about not having her over but he won't tell his mother that. And it makes me feel like he doesn't support me and I feel lonely. His mom has ruined her birth, bringing her home from the hospital and my first Mother's Day. I have no idea how to make things better, it just feels so hopeless. I know his mom wants to see her multiple times a week but I really don't want that.
Any tips on how to deal with an annoying mother in law?!
