[quote=Anonymous]Oh dear, OP. You need to set boundaries now or this is going to be very difficult. The PP has great advice for you. If your mom is like mine, she'll pretend she doesn't hear or doesn't understand what you're saying until you've repeated it two or three times and very bluntly. (I will also add that as uncomfortable as it may be to set up boundaries now, it's much, much more stressful to do it after the baby is born.) And it's good to get practice doing this. I just had to tell my mom that she couldn't take my kids out of school two weeks early for a trip with her to Disney. She made a run at that three times - actually emailing me with flight and hotel details she was ready to book - before she finally got the hint.[/quote]
