Argh!!
Sorry just need to rant the dreaded MIL has phoned four times today (3 times yesterday when she knew we were having tea at a friend's house) and she's just bloomin phoned again now! I've lost track of the texts poor hubby has got today alone from her. Sorry for the moan but I need to get it out of my system, can't grumble at hubby, it's not his fault!

How come she phones you so much....sounds like she needs a hobby?!?

Tonight I think one phone call was to tell us she was buying a chair (!!!????) then the next was to tell hubby she was going to visit his sister tomorrow so if he rings and she doens't answer that's where she will be and I couldn't be bothered to ask him about the other times she rang today.
She does need a hobby. Hubby has just been perfecting his words that he'll use when he tells her baby has been born, he's decided to text her not ring! Feel quite sorry for hubby at the mo, he really doesn't know what to do with her, she's getting worse.
Glad to know other mil are the same.

I'm not being ungrateful but she needs to get a life. She has had a new bloke since hubby was about 8 (his dad left when he was 5) but she still can't let go. I've already had the lecture of wanting to know what will happen when baby's born and when will we ring to tell her baby is here and how long will they keep me in hospital!!!! Argh!!!!! Oh and I'm a bad mum because I'm going back to work full time! All because hubby's sister didn't go back full time! I feel really stressed when I see it's her ringing!
Must be awful having the sil as a student midwife, my hubby's sister is a children's nurse and that's bad enough!

My oh has infomed me that his mother is going to keep me company for the 2 weeks before the baby is born. Which i am dreading as if I go into labour when she is around she will make a point of staying around. I dont want her and the rest of the family (mine included) waiting outside the labour ward. We have agreed that we will phone everyone after the baby is born and not as soon as i go into labour and I think this is her way of getting around our wishes.
I'm 24 weeks plus 1 thinking i'll just keep mentioning it from now to EVERYONE that I want time with OH on our own to get to know baby! x
Got a text from mil tonight telling me she thinks my baby is a boy and that she's going to spoil it rotten. What was the point of the text???? I don't want it spoilt and if anyone will spoil it I will because it's my baby!
I think I'll do what it must be love says and get hubby to start to tell her that we want time with baby once it is born ALONE! If he starts now it might sink in.
Tiger lily - I know the stressful feeling!!!!

In laws dont bother me as much cos even though they live 2 mins away they dont visit that often but my family are HUGE and really close so will have to arrange a day (at someone elses house) when they can all coo over the baby.
It is so hard cos hubby will only have about 3 weeks off so want to just close the door on the rest of the world until we have bonded as a family. I think the idea of a day at someones house is very good, MKT86!
my OH sed it was a bad idea - bearing in mind its his mum!
but all my family live in london so it would be nice to have that extra bit of support.
im reading ur posts and starting to regret my decision a little bit. lets hope all goes well!
i suppose i only have to shut the door in her face and leave the phone off the hook if things get bad!
.........gulp!
