I dont need this stress!

DH and I decided before I ever got pregnant that since I would be high risk, we'd only do it once. When we conceived, I was thrilled, and as my induction approaches (Monday), I get a little bit sad at the realization that this is the only time I will experience all of this. DH has two kids with his ex, so this aint his first rodeo. 

Unfortunately, I fell in love with a man who's family loves drama almost as much as I love him. My MIL didnt come to my baby shower, and today decided to inform us she wouldnt be at the hospital because she doesnt want to cause a scene. Apparently there are damages between her and other members of his family that cannot be overcome, even just for one special day. DH and I are both so put off by her tantrums that when she text me, I really let her have it. Can I just blame the hormones later? She's since spent the day shopping for LO.

Meanwhile, her  mother called DH. She has an early flight to catch Tuesday morning, and since we live much closer to the airport, she wants to stay at our house Monday night. We've hosted her before, and it's been fine, but I'm really hurt that DH is considering leaving me and the baby so soon. What if baby doesnt come until late Monday? I asked him if he could tell her no, and instead he called his brother to ask him to let her in. I really dont want people staying at our place without us there though. I've tried to talk to DH about all this, and he just gets mad and tells me that he's sorry he doesnt have a perfect family. I can tell we're both anxious and stressed, but I dont know what to do.

Re: I dont need this stress!

  • I'm so sorry, I wish I could give you the perfect advice! This sounds like a stressful situation, and I wouldn't want people staying in my house while I was gone either. Since his brother is letting her in, is there any way she can stay with your DH's brother instead? It seems a little audacious to expect you to host after just having a baby.
