My mother in law telling all the family our news without asking us first......

[muppetgirl]

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???

My nan did this when my brother and SIL told her that they were expecting. She'd called my uncle and told him that brother and SIL were expecting. Uncle called DB and SIL to congratulate. DB and SIL then went into overdrive calling the rest of the family before my nan could. I was at the airport in New York about to go through security when they called me desperate to let me know themselves .

My nan caught me by telephone the moment I landed back in the UK and was genuinely put out that DB and SIL had got to me first

Having learned from their lesson, my nan was the last family member that I told about our pregnancy.
