To tell my mil to go home

Hello guys, asking for some advice before i tell my DW i want her mum to fuck off home!

So bit of back ground, my wife is from Hungary, she has been in the uk for 7 years, we met 4 years ago, her mother has made it quite clear from day 1 she doesnt want my wife to be in the uk and makes it obvious when she is here.

We are expecting our little girl in october, she decided she was gonna come over a week before the due date and stay for 3 weeks, i was kinda ok with this as my wife doesnt see her much. But in the end she came over on the 7th of September, i was quite pissed off with this, but didnt want to stress my wife, so i let it go!

She flew over and because she told us she was coming over 2 days before, i wasnt able to get tbe time off work to pick her up from the airport, this caused a massive argument, so it began!

We had to go for a growth scan last week, she decided she didnt want to come, and i found this really sad because she hasnt been to any scans with us before!

Then on friday she moaned at my wife, because all she has done since she got here is sit in the house and done nothing, because my wife is still at work, i said i dunno why she came so early!!

And the we come to yesterday, my mum whos has been brilliant throughout the pregnancy organized afternoon tea and a mini baby shower for close friends and family, it cost her quite a bit of money! In the morning my mil was moaning about it blah blah blah! We turned up and straight away she wasnt interested, sat away from everyone, and when we went to show her the presants she flung her arms up in the air and rolled her eyes! We ended up leaving early because i was pissed off and quite frankly embarrassed and so was my wife! My mum was also very upset because she had put alot of effort and money into the afternoon tea!

I just want her to fuck off now, my wife wants her in the delivery room but i really dont want her there but know its not down to me!

Aibu to ask my wife if she can send her home

I agree that you need to talk to your wife &check that she's not being bullied/guilt tripped into doing anything that she doesn't want to.

I think you need to have a chat with your wife and find out if she really wants her mother in the delivery room or merely at the hospital. You'll need to have a room ready for when you get home with the new arrival and if that happens to be the room MiL is currently occupying, perhaps this is the time that she is moved out to a nearby hotel??
I'm in no way excusing her really rude behaviour (and it is really rude) but maybe she thought her daughter would be on maternity leave already and she would be spending time in the run up to the birth with her daughter and in her head she's disappointed that it's not going according to her plans??

@WhatchaMaCalllit my wife would have been on maternity leave if she came on the date of the orginal plan, which she knew about!

Baby will be in our room, then once her mum has gone home the spare room will be a nursery, so for future visit that room wont be available

Wishing you and your dear wife well Bloke. Your mil seems a right rude pain in the a#se. Your wife is likely to be tired and stressed with all of this . Have a quiet chat with your wife and see what she wants.
If she agrees tell mil to go home , otherwise tell her that while she is in your home either she has good manners or leaves . It is her choice ,but warn her her bad manners will no longer be tolerated for any reason . Flowers
