(Update) VENT: My Husband Got Drunk and....
Invited my MIL to our daughters birth. π
I'm doing a natural birth in a birth center.
She has been "fighting" me since I got pregnant with my first in early 2015. And other reasons (lots of real reasons, not just social ones) why she is the last person I want around me, my new baby, or my almost three year old son for any reason. ππππ
My OWN MOTHER wasn't invited btw and I am happily going home with her after the birth to recover with my two children in tow. We have a great relationship and I can trust her with the kids if I'm not present.
I'm mostly venting because NOW there will be drama because I am most certainly not allowing her to be at our birth π. I'm so tired of the drama.
--- UPDATE ---
Talked to my husband about it. He talked to his parents. His feelings are in it now π. He says his dad really wants the opportunity to meet the baby soon after the baby is born. So my husband is putting them on the call list for when I start labor so they can meet the baby hours old. I plan to breastfeed exclusively again, and they think breastfeeding is gross btw.
*** BTW his parents wanted nothing to do with being their for our first son born (their first grandchild) in 2015 or being there for my husband after he was 17 in any capacity that wasn't scolding him for not being who they wanted him to be, he is 32 now. Now that his parents are saying things that sound similar to acting like normal grandparents my husband feels like he has to jump on the opportunity to look like a normal family or else the negative relationship between his parents/him/and us would be his fault. (His father recently had a health scare. He has celiac and decided via viral Facebook post to eat organic sourdough bread because gluten wasn't really what would hurt him... one month and two stints in his heart later he's now required to be a vegetarian and gluten free) ***
