I love my in-laws but they drive me insane and the closer I get to the birth of DS2 the worse they are getting. They rang the other day to say they had booked a b&b to come and visit 2 weeks after baby is due, I get that they want to see their new grandson (especially as they have 5 other grandchildren who they never see) but they didn't discuss it with us in advance, just announced that they would arrive on that date. My MIL has also started being really funny about the fact they offered to buy a Moses basket and I reminded her that my mum had already got us one,we told her we were grateful for any gifts and we still had other things we needed but she just got moody and hung up on DH. I'm dreading them coming to visit after DS2 is born as MIL does not take criticism and I get really uncomfortable, when DS1 was born she wasn't fully supporting his head when she held him and DH moved him slightly so he looked more comfortableand she got really huffy and said I have held babies before, when DS1 was a little older she suggested putting his rusks in his bottle like she did with her children in just pointed out that this was now concidered unsafe and she basically told me she had more experience as a mother than I did. I'm completely for them spending time with both grandsons when my second is born but AIBU to be dreading their visit when i haven't even had the baby yet?
