annoying ex-step mother in law.......(vent)

Ok to start things off this lady is my husbands (ex) step-mom who was only married to DH's father for about 8 years and DH never lived with them just would visit on occasion.
This woman is completely insane, bi-polar!! She complains about everything and everyone, she was around during our wedding and was a complete b!tch that my mom was super close to telling her to leave.
Well I posted on facebook the baby name (Michael Walter) and she procceeds to comment "why would you find out the gender...that takes the fun out of it. There are too many Michaels in the family...too confusing"
1) she has never had any of her own children by choice...she says she hates babies (she has had about 10 abortions)
2) DH's brother is named Michael and my daddy is named Michael....I don't think it is too confusing
Why can't she just shut her trap!!!! She just annoys me....I already have a MIL who I love...I really don't need a fake one trying to tell me what I should be doing...
VENT OVER...

That's annoying- regardless of the weird relationship contection, she shouldn't make obnoxious comments about other people's life choices.
If she's DH's dad's ex, at didn't really have a hand in raising DH, why do you still have contact with her? It seems like the kind of relationship that you can delete her from fb and avoid the drama.
I would never put the name on FB before it is official. People will give opinions. Usually unwanted.
and I agree - delete friend.
I would just copy and paste those pregnancy commandments from sometime today....should shut her up in a hurry - and exactly, delete her.
If that's not an option I would probably say something along the lines of 'you got to choose how you wanna name your kids/experience your pregnancies (did she have any kids, with so many abortions?) and I will have it with mine the way I want.
yes.
I can completely relate, because I have an ex-step-mom, who is completely Bipolar. I agree you should delete her from FB, but in my experience it won't stop her from invading in issues like this. In my case, I just try to remember that almost everything she does/think/says, is from a one-sided selfish world view. Remember that mental illness is a chronic disease, and she will probably always be like this...if not worse over time...sorry! I unfotunately will always have to put up with mine, b/c she is mother to my half-sis and brother.
For the record, Michael sounds like the perfect name for your LO
Expecting a bootiful baby Girl this Halloween
I'm sorry you have to deal with that! What a pain!
As far as names go, I'm in a similar situation where everytime I keep telling people (esp. my parents and my MIL) the names I have in mind for LO, they keep telling me their opinion about it. Ever since then, I've decided to keep my mouth shut and they can find out once the baby arrives. It's not their baby and they should keep their opinions to themselves!
Make a pregnancy ticker
Why even be friends with her on facebook? I would delete her.
If people can't be respectful to you for your decisions, I am not sure they are worth your time.
Thanks ya'll
She is the only person who has said something negative about the name...we actually had our boy and girl name picked out a couple years ago when we first got pregnant (but lost our LO).
DH is just too nice and won't say anything to her...I think he feels obligated to be nice to her...luckily she lives in Guatamala!!!
