In this post, a 29-year-old woman shares her concerns about her mother-in-law’s behavior as her due date approaches. The couple had faced infertility issues, leading to a strained relationship with the mother-in-law, who had been disappointed by their decisions. The woman is currently pregnant, and her mother-in-law is making demands and imposing plans that make the expectant mother uncomfortable.
The mother-in-law insists on the baby being a boy for family name continuity, disregarding the couple’s wishes for a gender-neutral approach. Additionally, she has already made plans for the couple to visit with the baby shortly after birth, disregarding the mother’s concerns about privacy, health, and the baby’s well-being. The expectant mother fears her mother-in-law will undermine her parenting choices and is particularly anxious about potential boundary violations, such as her mother-in-law taking the baby without permission.
Despite discussing her concerns with her husband, he downplays the situation, considering her fears as somewhat dramatic. The expectant mother is uncertain about how her mother-in-law will behave and is seeking validation for her concerns.
So keep on scrolling down below to read the whole story narrated by OP and make sure to read it till the end otherwise, you won’t understand the whole situation here.
1. OP is pregnant with their first child and the due date is approaching OP’s husband is quite excited about it but OP’s MIL is starting to push boundaries as the little one’s arrival is near. Moreover, OP told the users about her tough journey with infertility.
2. OP suffered 3 miscarriages and one of them was on the day of the wedding moreover, OP said as time passed by MIL was disappointed and impatient towards her and even mocked that the treatments weren’t working on her.
3. As the IVF treatment was expensive and at the moment they weren’t able to afford it they decided to call it quits and accept that they’ll have to pass their life child-free, and when OP told them about it to her MIL she got disappointed.
4. OP wanted to keep it a secret due to her past miscarriages but she got so sick that she had to vomit for days so she told the family, upon hearing this news MIL got over the moon due to her happiness.
5. Being six months pregnant OP did not feel any change in her health she was still sick and the MIL started insisting OP have another baby after it moreover, as her due date was arriving she was anxious.
6. OP said she lives 4 hours away and she started making plans that they are going to visit the baby at the end of September she would hold and feed the baby as much as she wanted to
7. OP told a number of reasons why she didn’t want to hand her baby over to them
8. MIL wanted to come and stay with them but both OP and her husband shut it down real quick because the husband didn’t want to host anyone moreover, now she is very unhappy due to their decision.
9. OP was terrified that she’d show up at the hospital without informing them and when MIL got to know that they were expecting a baby girl she showed disappointment but immediately started pushing pink at OP
10. Now OP doesn’t want her to interfere in her daughter’s matter because she is her priority while MIL has different plans
