MIL problems
My mother and law and I have never particularly got a long. She is very judgemental and stuck in her ways. Although once finding out I was pregnant (with twins) I have been trying to have a better a relationship with her but it has been more then difficult. She constantly criticizes the car we bought, how we spend our money, how much we choose to share with them ( like when my fiancé separated his bank account at 19 from there’s) anyways I have been trying to be more considerate of her and invite her to do things involving the baby like help plan the baby shower and gender reveal but everything has to be done her way or not done at all. She wanted to throw this big gender reveal party which I was not into at all. I don’t have to many friends and since I’m carrying twins I want to throw an earlier baby shower and my birthday is coming up soon so I thought 3 parties within like 6-8 weeks is a lot. So I told I would like to do just a gender reveal party family a small fun little celebration. So she has since decided that she doesn’t want to know the gender and there will be no reveal. I feel it is our choice as the parents of the babies to find out the gender and it is really agitating me that since it wasn’t done her way she doesn’t want to know. Also if we tell her once we find out she will be so pissed off. Do you think I should just tell her not care that she is mad? Has anyone dealt with a similar situation and has advice? I have tried compromising but nothing seems to be working.
Sorry for the long post. Hope this mad sense
