[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP. You have an emotionally immature parent and you will need to set boundaries to protect your feelings. I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Agree with others - you’re not obliged to tell her you’re pregnant, that you’re in labour, or even that you delivered the baby. You’re not obliged to say yes if she says she wants to be in town during the birth or immediately postpartum. You don’t have to answer the phone when she calls. You don’t have to return her calls. You don’t have to listen to her when she starts screaming. You can just hang up or say “sorry mom, I can’t listen to this and will hang up”. If your MiL will be supportive and help with the household and kids during postpartum, enlist her help. You don’t need to feel guilty about that. Good luck and congratulations on#3![/quote]
