Ok so, have 3 weeks to go until my little bay boy is due.
Despite everything else that should be keeping me awake at night, its my mother in law thats driving me insane.
Over the last few months she has been acting so weirdly its starting to make me feel really uncomfortable. It started with her buying everything, in huge quantites, it moved on to her donating a massive cheque to the baby fund, to buy everything we need for the baby, now it has gone way to far, we went to her house last night and she has converted her spare room into a nursury, everything was bought and layed out, it was just weird. I can appricate that she is a first time grandmother and is excited about the new arrival but it seems like she is expecting us to move in once the baby is born and that I am just carring this baby for her and that once he arrives he will there soley for her benifit. It has got to the point where I am having nightmares about her trying to take the baby away from me.
I do not want to be ungrateful, but, I have always found my own way in life and find these gifts embarrising. We are living in a tiny 2 bed house and do not have room for all the bits she keeps turning up with.
We have never been very close and I am more than happy to keep her at arms lenght, all I want to do is enjoy my last few weeks alone to do what I want to do. I dont want to be bombarded with phone call after phone call asking me what I am doing.
Can anyone offer me some advice on how to get her to back off, I am scared if I dont do this now, when baby comes along its going to be 100 times worse.
