Same as Jillian over here!!

My mum lives next door and she has a carseat, portacot, pram, bottles, formula, feeding equipment, nappies clothes!! Her idea was that whenever we visit we can just come with us & not have to worry about bringing anything. I love that I can drop over whenever I want & not have to worry about packing the nappy bag. It's also helpful if I run out of formula or nappies etc as she always has them

Going to play devil's advocate here Zander has stayed over at mum's house a few times & he has slept in mum & dad's bedroom. I think she feels more comfortable having him nearby so she can hear him in the night. We had my baby shower at mum's house as well and that was because she didn't want me to have to play hostess for the day & tidy up afterwards. Umm with the time off she probably feels like you will need help, maybe your dad wasn't much help when you were born (I know mine wasn't) so your mum is assuming DH won't be? Not sure on that one, just thinking of possible reasons.....

I think in the end you really need to have a chat with her & tell her exactly how you are feeling. I'm sure she could explain to you why she is doing the things she is.

Good luck with it
