I'm 20 weeks and have been with my boyfriend for nearly two years.
He's amazing and all his family are really supportive, BUT I just feel like they're really interfering.
His mum dad and older sister have already arranged so they're going to be able to look after the baby 3 days a week when i go back to uni. I'm not sure if i want them to, although it's better being with family, i'd rather he/she went to a stable childminder, having the same people every day rather than being muddled about.
My own mum said she wishes she had that level of help with her kids, but I just feel so protective of him/her!
I told my boyfriend i didn't want them all at the hospital and they had to wait until we were home for a day and i'd recovered (if i've just had stitches in my bits and been awake for two days i don't want to be polite to the inlaws). He's really offended since I don't mind having my family come to the hospital. But i've only met them over formal dinners and family parties over the past year, and it's a bit different my relationship with my own sister and mum and his.
I just feel really resentful towards them as i've had a few rows with his mum and sister and i obviously don't want to stop my child seeing his/her family, but while it's me in control should i be more chilled out as it's upsetting my other half how much i don't want them involved right away? Does anyone else feel like this?
