MIL VENT.

So my due date is May 20th, and my husbands brother is throwing a graduation party for himself, of course we are invited. The thing is, I may not make it to the date of the graduation as it will be done at a venue with over 80 people. Dated May 26. (Don’t feel comfortable bringing my nb baby around, sickness/loud noise)

My husband expressed this to his mother, telling her we may not be able to attend, his brother understood and said it was okay as he knows how it would be for a newborn baby.

Yet my MIL told my husband, “oh she can just stay by herself, and you can go! What does she need you to be there for?” My husband firmly said he wasn’t just gonna leave me alone with our newborn baby, even if he isn’t helping much, he wants me to feel supported as I don’t have family around.

I let this statement go, I just laughed it off despite being upset at it and said “yes so he could have fun and enjoy his day and night, and I can stay alone in the house with our baby.”

It blew over. Until just a while ago, my husband told his mother he needs to buy some supplies to bring to the hospital, such as comfortable clothes and socks, and a pillow so that he can stay the nights with me comfortably. She laughed sarcastically and said “you can’t stay with her, and you don’t have to. Just let her stay.” And he once again said, “that’s so horrible to leave her alone, no.” And at this point I got upset and said “yeah okay, he can stay with me and I will not be staying alone.” And she replied “there’s nurses and doctors there, you’ll be fine, my husband didn’t stay when I gave birth and had c-section.”

I just simply said “that sucks for you, but I will not be alone. And I don’t understand why you are so obsessed with me being by myself without support.” And I shrugged it off and walked away.

Is this not upsetting? Am I wrong? Like why is she being this way? Mind you her and I actually have a pretty good relationship and get along quite well.
