Am I crazy?
hey guys! just looking for people’s opinions and advice.
I am 24 weeks pregnant. Me (21) and my bf (24) have been together for 9 months. I will have to return to school soon after birth because of requirements and me and my bf have figured out a schedule so he will be able to watch the baby. I’ll be in school from 8-4 m-t and he is going to change shifts and start working from 5-10 those days.
Lil background of his family: I don’t really like his dad much. He’s okay. He’s a cop and everyone agrees he doesn’t know how to turn it off when he’s home. He’s kind of a prick. When I first figured out I was pregnant. He didn’t believe me even after the 5 tests I took.
His mom is nice but a lil crazy. She’s super excited about the baby. It’s all she talks about. She’s bought so many things ( for her house) for the the baby. I really appreciate her doing that but sometime she just irks me. Any name I have told her she doesn’t like and says something and she is so persistent about us taking the family middle name that my bf, his dad, and grandpa have. And when i have said I don’t know about it she literally gasps. We have planned a gender reveal and one night she went psycho screaming on the phone saying she needs to know the theme of it and that she didn’t want it to be “plain”. Another thing about his mom is that she has had many surgeries. And I know she has had some trouble in the past with her pills. She is in pain a lot with her back and always has to have heating pad and complains and moans. My bf tells me that when he was younger she would literally take too many pills and pass out multiple times. She got in a car accident because of pills before too. When me and bf started dating she would always ask him to go buy her Xanax because she took all of hers. And there seems to be no problem now but when she acts crazy or talks a lot my bf will say “oh she’s off her pills”. The other day she mentioned that she would be watching baby and we told her no we made a schedule so she wouldn’t have to and she looks at me and says “oh so you don’t want me watching the baby” and I told her it’s important to me that the baby doesn’t get sick and just spends time with me and the dad for the first month or so. She was really upset and called me “overprotective”.
So basically my problem is that I don’t want her to be with the baby alone. I have told my bf this but he doesn’t agree and says that it’s his baby too and his parents need to be apart of it. I said okay but the baby needs to be at home the first months with you and he said okay I can just drive over there and i said uhh no. This was in front of his mom and she said “oh I’ll just go over there”. I just feel crazy because I don’t want anyone around this baby. I feel so protective and he’s not even out yet lol. I literally get so anxious thinking about it. And i know I’m gonna have to fight his mom about it. I always joke with my bf that I am gonna run away with the baby 😂 i just don’t know what to do. Am I crazy or do I have a right to feel this way?
