We are in the middle of building a house and it is time to pick out my stucco color. His mom's neighbor is an interior designer that does a lot for us for free but is booked up for another week and I have to have a color picked out tomorrow. I pretty much know what I want but he wanted it okayed with her. Why? He then has the nerve to tell me that his mom can help me decide. WTH? O and MIL and I do NOT get along. If I or he and I do not take MIL and/or FIL's "advice" then we always end up arguing. Especially me and them because there advice isn't advice, it is their way of telling us what to do. I think I may strangle him before this is over. He is stressing me out for no reason and I really do not need that right now. I am having to see maternal fetal medicine tomorrow to find out for sure if our baby has spina bifida or not and he is pulling this crap on me right before our apt day. I don't know what to do. Pick out my color myself or do it his way and let mommy dearest do it. Help! Vent over... TIA

Sounds like things are stressful right now.  If it helps your stress to take control and pick your own color, do that.  If you'd rather wait and make an informed decision, like you doubt your instincts, I'd wait, but make sure it's because YOU want to.  You don't want to pick something b/c MIL or FIL like it if you don't love it, b/c you'll end up hating it and probably trying to change it later anyway.  Just IMO.

Pick out the color yourself! It's "Your" house!

Thanks ladies! We wouldn't be in this situation if he would have called the interior decorator last week like I told him. Now our contractor needs the color by tomorrow!

Pick it yourself or you'll regret it!

Sorry you are having to deal with a crazy MIL situation.  I would put my foot down now and say I really think the color of our house should be picked out by us not your mommy.  She can pick out the color of her house.
