MIL is very involved. emailing, calling, etc. She has to be managed or else she bulldozes over us. I am pg w/ 1st (and IL's first grandchild). She will be visiting soon and i happen to have a OB appt while she is here and she asked DH is she could come to the appt with me. Why...???? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

she wants to meet the Dr. This part of my pregnancy just doesn't have to involve her. I will be honest. But she is so pushy I will need to stand my ground, or just ignore her requests which i usually do. [ Reply | More ]

I would just say no, that you don't feel it is necessary or appropriate for her to meet the dr. And, yes, stand your ground now or you will have even more trouble when db is born. [ Reply | More ]

Here's the bottom line. You are soon going to be a parent. You need to set up boundaries so that MIL starts to see you as an adult, responsible parent in your own right. She sees you as a girl who married her little boy. [ Reply | More ]

You have your work cut out for you. She sounds like a tough one. Be strong, and don't rely on DH to be the messenger. Be direct with her yourself. [ Reply | More ]
