I phoned my mil yesterday as had scan and told her about our second baby being a boy and we have decided on a name. She then phoned me back an hour later to tell me that she had told my hubbies' sisters and that they thought the name was 'cool'
If this was a first time then i could understand the slip but when we got enagaged she told the sisters before we could and even told them I would like them to be bridesmaids!!!!!
With DS number 1 she told the family that he was a boy and when he was due etc.
Hubbie was v. annoyed but never tells her not to.
Am I being unreasonable to want to tell his family in our own time/way???

YNBU but you shouldn't tell her anything in future that you don't want her to spread, or at least give her strict instructions not to!!!
What did you say to her when she said she had passed on the news?
Congrats btw.
