Pushy and rude mother in law.

Tara

My husband's mom has been pushy, judgemental, and rude since the day we found out we were expecting. She has criticised every decision from me wanting to breast feed, to us choosing a name. So far, I have brushed it off like my husband has asked, but lately she is beginning to make me feel not so excited to welcome our daughter into this world.

She insists that we plan our c-section on a day she has off, even though we have been clear that she won't be in the room for the birth, but she thinks she will be. We have specifically told her we didn't want any baby fear that has cartoon characters on it, but she picked out a Minnie mouse car seat stroller set regardless because it was HER favorite. She planned a baby shower, and only gave my side of the family 10 days notice, and now most of them can't make it (she has stated on more than one occasion that she doesn't care for my family). But the worst to me is when she trys to give parenting advice, but it's more like her telling us how to raise our child (this isn't our first baby either). She never raised her own kids, their dads did, shes in her mid 40's with 4 dui's and on probation for 20 years for that and a couple assault charges. I have spoken many times to my husband about how bothered I am About her behavior, and he thinks I'm over reacting. If this was my mother, I would tell her to back off. I'm so frustrated with everything when I should be excited, and not to mention I'm home on bed rest due to placenta previa complications.

Should I just speak up and tell her enough is enough, or are my pregnancy hormones getting the best of me?
