MIL Baiting...she makes it too easy!
OK, so I'm being a bit naughty and I really shouldn't but she makes it too easy for me!! :rofl:
She keeps insisting that I tell her when I go into labour so they can drive the 5 hours up & see the baby when she first arrives. I keep insisting that I will just see how I feel and I'm not sure how I feel about having people at the hospital and she keeps saying that they'll only pop in and out, get a photo with the baby and then off they'll go.
Which is actually quite fine and I'm ok with that.
BUT I might not be up to having anyone there. And she needs to realise that.
She makes comments that she'd just like to see her first grandchild like other grannies, and I keep saying that I'd like the time with my first child too. And that its time for DH & I.
My mum is going to be at the birth (hopefully) so I can understand MIL being a bit jealous and wanting her look in too.
But when anyone insists on anything with me, it tends to bring out the rebelious / stubborn streak and I tend to politely insist the exact opposite. And I'm a strong personality so I'm probably a little intimidating to my MIL :nahnah:
We finished the conversation off quite nicely, but I can just imagine that she has put down the phone and started whinging about the unfairness of it all to FIL!
Oh well...start as you mean to go on, I guess, and I'm not going to be pushed around by a MIL...ever!:dance:
