In-laws stressing me out about nursery....

Caitie81490 · September 2016

My mother in law purchased our crib a few weeks ago when Target was running the $50 gift card with a $250 baby furniture purchase and my father in law and his wife just purchased the matching dresser last week and should be at our house this week. We have diapers and clothes in boxes in the nursery now and have been deciding on the paint color. We were planning on painting next weekend, before we knew a dresser would be arriving soon. When we were discussing that with my father in law and his wife, she practically scolded us on the fact that the room isn't painted yet. She said that it should be done well before the holidays and that we're running out of time. I teach full time and my husband is a full time corrections officer with a rotating schedule so his days don't always line up with family's weekends off. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I feel like if we paint this or next weekend like we were planning, we're on track to have the room ready by my shower 11/12 before the holidays and soon enough Baby Girl decides to come a bit early. Does it sound like we're on track or are we way off on timing?

Can we have an in laws thread if one doesn't exist already? Seems like there are always posts popping up about individual situations with in laws.

like 90% of the MBF thread is about in-laws. Lol. I think at one time we started a mother-in-law thread.

Dec. 16 has a Why my family is driving me crazy thread. Maybe we could start one here?

A baby doesn't give a hoot if walls are painted or not, paint it when you want to and tell her you're not looking for unsolicited advice.

Our baby isn't even getting a nursery as we plan to share a room with the baby for the first year... There are no rules or timelines. I am 25 weeks and all I have ready is a car seat. Our crib is still in the box... We plan to have it set up by early Nov
