I'm 12 weeks pregnant, and my boyfriend's mother is becoming extremely controlling. I know she has the babies best interests at heart, but I'm becoming really frustrated. For example when we were discussing names, if we mentioned names she didn't like her response would be 'no, I'm not having a grandchild called that. no way'. And now she is convinced that we are living with them when the baby comes, she is talking about how she will decorate the spare room...and my boyfriend will not tell her that we don't plan on living with her. We have our names on the housing list. How do I get him to stand up to her? I don't feel that it is my place to say anything. I just couldn't bear to live with her, as she is controlling now and I worry that she would try and take over once the baby came. She seems to just disregard the wishes of myself or my family...any ideas on how to cope with this situation? Thanks very much,
By the way we are engaged to be married, so she will soon be my mother in law. There will be no 'next girlfriend' thanks very much!
