I am 9 months pregnant with my first child. A few months into my pregnancy I was really overwhelmed bc of my overbearing mother in law always calling and asking questions but I brushed it aside, knowing she was excited to be a grandma. A few months after that a lot of drama happened between my family and moi while planning the baby shower. She volunteered to throw it but then started volunteering my family to help, which they did. However she wanted to know their every step in their part of planning the baby shower and was angry saying they weren’t helping enough financially and she was spending too much. (SHE VOLUNTEERED, they did not). She then started texting my family rude messages and being disrespectful. I sent her a text message saying I did not like her behavior and that I don’t need this energy while I’m pregnant or when the baby gets here. She simply ignored it (she did mention it to my husband and other family members) and pretended as if nothing happened when she saw me. I let it go… then after the baby shower I was told by a family member that she was talking bad about me and my family and calling us out of our names. Of course when asked about it, she stated it was a lie and played victim, blaming the person who told me and cussing them out. I told her not to blame them since our relationship was already strained. Of course this pissed her off so she started going off on me and playing victim. I chose not to reply bc I’m tired of all the stress and negativity and don’t want it to affect my pregnancy. Now with my due date coming up she has been calling me but I haven’t answered. I know I can’t ignore her forever but I’ve really enjoyed the lack of stress without her in my life.

My husband has tried to fix the problem multiple times but she’s just too stuck in her ways. I’m not sure what to do 🙁

Also my husband let her know we don’t want her at the hospital but she says she’ll be there anyways 😭
