Both DP and myself find our mothers incredibly irritating.
The one likes to be incredibly involved in our lives as a couple, to the extent that she massively oversteps the line of our privacy. Think things like nosing into medical issues, criticising what we spend our money on, arriving at the house and going into every cupboard/wardrobe possible as if to inspect us etc..
The other pretends not to mind that we are private people, yet either of us are likely to get passive aggressive text each weekend that we don't see her about how nice it would have been if we could have dropped in, and the disappointment etc.
This makes me really reluctant to start a family because
A) I think they could both be a real pain as grandparents
B) I don't want to be a mum if my children would feel about me the way we both do about ours!
C) I have never been completely sure about being a parent, and this seems to be tipping me
AIBU to let how I feel about them be part of the decision?
