Me and my partner are expecting our first child, I am 25 weeks pregnant. It’s my partners mums first grandchild so naturally she is very excited. However I find she is being a bit too pushy with certain things and I’m not sure if it’s getting to me due to hormones or whether I have every right to feel this way. For example, she is a nurse so often has to work Christmas Day, so has told work she will work this year as she wants her first grandchild’s Christmas off work next year. But she hasn’t even thought to ask what we would want to do for it (Christmas this year hasn’t even come yet, let alone next year)! It’s just the principal in my eyes. It’s like she’s making all these decisions and just presuming it will be her way. I’ve spoke to my partner and he said she will be upset if we don’t spend it with her but if we have other plans we will just have to tell her. Either way, we will make time to go and see her on the day but may have other plans for dinner. But now I feel backed into A corner and it’s all becoming a bit much! It’s over a year away! This is just one example of what she can be like and it’s not doing well for my hormones at the moment! I feel like the bad guy if when the time comes we maybe have dinner somewhere else when she’s clearly already got this image in her head. Help!
