wow really? (yes its a vent)

in 3rd Trimester

I quote "I'm not going to want to share him at all with anyone" and no this didnt come from me, it came from my mom today during our phone conversation. I know she is just excited (first grandkid) but she is overwhelming me and I don't have the heart to say something. I mean even her husband is saying "Umm are you having this baby or is your daughter" (all in a joking matter yes) but whats there to do without hurting feelings?

    My mom is the exact same way. Every time she sees me she grabs my belly and says "How's my baby?" I always jokingly tell her that it's not hers, but she seriously can't get the picture! I know she is just excited, but I agree that it's overwhelming. I am just hoping that once the baby comes she will let us have a little personal space!

    I am right there with you on this one. She calls him "my baby" and I'm like, actually, he's MY baby and she corrects me: "no, he belongs to ALL of us!"

    Well. He's in my ute. He's my baby.

    You have to set boundaries and the sooner the better! Trust me, you are going to hurt your moms feelings and it won't be the last time. Moms and daughters tend to butt heads when it comes to grandkyds and it's normal but the best thing to do is draw your line clearly with her and stick to it early in! The sooner you do ut the more effective and easier it will be!

    Let it go. She's excited for her first grandchild. Not a big deal.

    If she starts getting on your nerves after LO gets here, just throw a giant hissy fit and blame it on hormones later. ;)

    I wouldn't say anything.  She is just very excited.  You will see.  You are the mother and she knows it.  She will just be there to spoil and help you all out.  Good luck.

    If anyone in my family said this they would end up with more than hurt feelings.

    The next time she says that make it known in your most "I mean business" tone that "this is MY child not your so don't for a second think otherwise."

    I realize she is more than likely just really excited and once everyone gets adjusted I won't be feeling so overwhelmed.
