Losing my mind

[lidilou]

Let me start by saying, I love my husband and get along with this family. However, I am going to lose it in 3. 2. 1
I have learned over the years that they love drama. I on the other hand, don't. It used to be they would center the drama around themselves and leave us out of it. Every since we told them we're pregnant and it's a boy it has been one thing after another. They have named our baby, told us how we should do the nursery, want to know about every appt and symptom etc. Now they are telling him that I should have invited more of his family to the baby shower. He is one of 8 and all siblings are married. Holy fricking total # of people. Then they say they won't go because of it. Fine.. Don't go. Then after they know it gets back to us they conveniently change their mind. Seriously, they are tryong to drive me bonkers on purpose. WhY!! Sorry for the rant but I have never been more done with them.

Dreamland21 I'm sorry you have to go thru it as well. I told the man last night that I don't want to hear it anymore. That of something is said I will just start walking out of the room. We don't deserve to be stressed. We have a little someone that is counting on is to stay calm and in control. So I called enough.

I feel you on that one. Sounds very extreme but when I had a name picked out for my boy my bfs mom and sister were constantly telling me names that they liked and that i should change it. His mom threw me a baby shower and was very controlling about it saying that no kids were allowed to come which made it so that a few people i wanted to be there couldnt come because they couldnt find a sitter. Its like they want to control everything. Sorry your going thru this just dont let it stress you too much and stand your ground (sounds like you are already) maybe have your man ask them to back off a bit too. Hope everything gets easier for you!

I'm used to giving them a little more leeway with things. Thank God being pregnant stopped some of it. When they started calling the baby by the name they wanted I said lil dude doesn't have a name and when he does we will let you know. Then the shower, told hubby if they want more people invited then they should have thrown it. Simple. You don't get to say anything when its not your money being spent. Its weird, they literally need to be put in their place when it comes to our baby. I get that there all excited but that's no excuse for constant bull crap.

I know exactly how you feel! You and your husband need to put your foot down because there needs to be boundaries. It might get confrontational but it might take that for them to see that you mean business.
