[quote=Anonymous]This will sound cold, but I would not tell her when you go into labor. And I'd feel free to not answer her calls or texts for a while. Let DH respond and say "Kim is resting; Kim is with the baby right now, etc" and when you're ready, then talk to her. If she starts yelling interrupt and say "Mom, I just gave birth and don't deserve to be screamed at. We can talk another time when you're more calm. By" and then HANG UP. I don't say that lightly - I literally had to talk with a therapist about hanging up on my mom. And the therapist actually said to my mom "What would happen if Lauren said "I have to go; we can talk another time" and then hung up? I mean, would you die?" And my mom totally said "Well, maybe." And that's what gave me the freedom to hang up on her. [/quote]
