Right, my mil has been very excited about 1st dgc who is due in the next couple of weeks. I have been letting her enjoy herself with buying clothes etc but she's started coming out with things which I'm not too happy about.
The biggest one was that she rang me a couple of weeks ago to tell me that she's booked the chalet at the end of the year that go to at haven every year for fil birthday. Great my dc will be around 7-8 months by this time. But she said if me and dh can't go for the whole week due to work and can only go for a long weekend that she would take my dc (her 1st dgc) for the whole time and I can express prior to this if I am "still" breastfeeding! (Which she has a problem with anyway but that's a different story!)
I go on to inform her that getting the time off work won't be an issue as I'll still be on maternity leave and dh was going to keep his holidays for this year for Christmas/emergencies instead of taking them straight after paternity to extend time off.
Then last Friday we had been round to visit and told them that we've been given a travel cot so for the trip they don't need to hire one at the chalet and she says she wasn't going to hire one anyway because my 7-8 month dc will be sleeping between her and fil!
I was quite shocked by this that nothing came out of my mouth and I don't think dh was listening.
So tonight I've spoken to dh about how I don't want to co-sleep in the bed and we've had a discussion and are now on the same page but I want him to tell mil our rules about this amongst other things.
Aibu for wanting him to talk to her about it? As I know she's not happy about other things I've said I'm going to do (like try to BF) and I don't want to seem that this is all coming from me and not dh's wished too.
Also do I wait until closer to the trip to get him to tell her or do I get him to do it sooner?
Thanks!
(Sorry it's such a long ramble)
