Beyond frustrated!!!!

So I'm being induced Monday morning and have made it clear for months that I didn't want tons of people flooding in as soon as I have the baby. I want time to bond and breastfeed and shower etc. my MIL is stirring the pot big time making statements that it's not just about the parents but the grandparents too and how she wants to see my husband's face when he holds our son for the first time. There is NO way I'm letting her in the delivery room and the fact that she keeps stirring shit up makes me want to uninvite her to the hospital at all. She's just stirred so much up over the past several months and won't stop. This isn't about her. It's about my husband, myself, daughter and new son. I wanted my daughter to meet her brother before a bunch of people flooded in. Am I wrong???

    Of course you aren't. She didn't conceive this child, and it should be up to the people that did as to when everyone else gets to meet him.

    Nope! I told DH I didn't care if his relatives waited in the waiting room all day and all night, no one was coming to visit until I was in the recovery room.

    Stand your ground! This is not about her or her desires. Your family is paramount, and she will be able to enjoy her grandchild when the time is appropriately decided by you!

    Your husband should handle his mother. If it comes from u, u will always be the evil daughter in law. She won't stay mad at her son though and will follow through hopefully.
    Also , let the nurses know your wishes.
    They can be the bad guys saying "sorry she's not in a position to receive company yet".
    Tough position. Good luck.

    She already is holding a grudge against me. It's gotten so ugly it's ridiculous. Thank y'all for helping me know I'm not being a complete you know what. I just lost my dad unexpectedly a couple weeks ago and am still struggling with the loss and she has added so much anxiety now that I'm just totally pissed.
