My in-laws

I need some advice on how to deal with my, “hard to deal with” in-laws.

I am going to be a first time mom in April

From the beginning of my mine and my husbands relationship they have been bossy, and very needy.

My MIL wants me or my husband to call her at least twice a week and talk on the phone for hours. I am not kidding when I say HOURS!

My FIL has treated me like complete garbage since day one. He wants to control my husband and I but I won’t give him that power. He knows he can’t control me. I think that is the issue.

This past weekend they came over and he didn’t say ONE word to me. In my OWN HOME!!

He smokes and last month I explained to him when our baby comes he cannot smoke and come around the baby.

He freaked out on my husband staying “does she expect us to change our lives”. Well yes I actually do. My husband and I both have Asthma and I will do anything to keep our baby from being asthmatic. IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!

Being around both of them feels like a chore and anxiety to me. With our baby coming in April I feel like it’s going to be a tough situation because they make every experience difficult.
