I'm sorry you're going through this, and would feel the same way in your situation. Unfortunately, her expectations are probably somewhat normal. Most people would want to witness the birth of their first grandchild, but she has gone too far. You are the one giving birth and she needs to respect your wishes. Since she hasn't taken no for an answer so far, I would come up with a plan so this doesn't happen when you give birth. Maybe you could just go into delivery and wait until afterwards to call her? Or, if she does come to the hospital, make sure you let the attending nurses know ahead of time that no one else is allowed into the delivery room except your spouse.
it is actually her 2nd grandchild. her oldest daughter has one and she lives at home so she gets to be with that baby all day every day, and that's great if that's what works for them...but I'm not like that. Her daughter didn't even know how to give her baby a bath until he was over 2 months old because her mom always did it. She is just beyond overbearing and has a ridiculous sense of entitlement
Is it normal that my mother-in-law invited herself to my delivery?
