Okay who slapped my MIL into shape?!
Sometime in April or May my MIL and I were talking on the phone and she expressed her "interest" in being in the delivery room. I tried telling her I wasn't comfortable with that, but she just wasn't having it. She went on about how all the grandmothers were "supposed" to be in there and that she WAS going to be there. That I didn't realize how my modesty would go out the window when pushing a baby out, things of that nature. I just couldn't get through to her. Add on to the fact that she lives 14 hrs away (her plan was to drop everything and make it before crowning) and would be in town for a week or so.
DH and I talked extensively about this. He doesn't want his overbearing mom stressing me out (during labor, delivery, or that first week home) and he called her last night. Her plan completely matched up with our ideal plan! It was insane. DH was completely speechless, she said she would come a week or two after baby was born, that "she respected my wanting only DH in the room", and she "didn't want to overwhelm me".
Crazy! So who slapped her into shape? Maybe abducted her and re-wired her brain? I am so confused, this is the exact opposite of every other situation with this lady.
FTR: Not complaining- I am thrilled.

*raises hand*
It was me. You can thank me later!
Can you take care of my MIL too? Thanks! Haha
When you find out who slapped her can you have that person slap my MIL?
It was exoh. She is the MIL-whisperer.
Lol! I'm going with alien abduction.
Glad it's gotten better for you though!
Crazy MILs make me grateful that mine lives far away and doesn't travel...at all. Not that mine is crazy...I'm rather fortunate; however, I'm drowning in baby clothes that she's sending me. Do babies really NEED 50 onsies, 50 sleepers...etc, etc, etc... Lol! Oyes.
Glad you've got that weight off your mind! Great news, I hope she sticks with that plan!
If you read the board, the post just below yours is titled "aw I did it" and if you read them back to back I believe this proves eortman got your mother in law to cooperate
Lol! I need to make myself a t-shirt!
Exoh's lil one will have a bib stating "My Mother was September 2011 Mom's MIL Whisperer of the year!!"
