Okay long post, but I feel crazy. So I love my MIL to death, she’s so supportive in everything my husband and I do. She was the first person we told when we were pregnant and she sat and cried in the restaurant she was so happy. But I’ve always known she been a smother. It took everything I had to get through our wedding because she made me just cry at the thought and how over controlling she was, which I KNOW I shouldn’t have felt like that about my wedding. But now with being pregnant, it’s even worse. 🤦🏻‍♀️

She was bugging me about having a registry and I told her i wasn’t going to do a registry because I wasn’t having a shower. Plus I’m a simple person and don’t feel like I need all the random useless things that go on a registry. She got all upset with me and started saying how I need a shower, but we live out of state and I’m not going back home to stress myself out just to please her. She’s been sending me tons of links to car seats and things saying I “need” this and that. I know she’s excited cuz it’s her first grand baby. But I don’t know how to tell her to lay off. I had my first appointment the other day and she drove the 6+ hours and showed up on my door step before the appointment thinking she was coming with. 🤬 I put my foot down and said no, that it was something special I only wanted between my husband and I. That night i then found texts she sent to my husband about how unfair and ridiculous I was being. I don’t know how much longer I can me nice.. ugh. I know there needs to be boundaries now, and I need to be the one to set them. Okay thanks for letting me vent, I just feel bad talking to my husband about his own mother like this. He agrees about the boundaries I just can’t handle all the little things she does.
