[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think older generations see the "friends vs family" thing as a bigger divide than younger generations. In my family we don't let friends see us at our worst, only family. I'd frankly be annoyed my friend told me. She is making this about her by telling you and I think that's inappropriate. This should be a time for family bonding and further bonding w MIL and she kind of inserted a fart into it.

I'd concentrate on the positive- baby and family are all fine. MIL did something dumb in a time of stress- I'm sure she was worried during your labour about you and baby. No big deal.

If you get pg again, then's the time to address this clearly if the plan is for her to be at the hospital again "hey, I know you didn't think I'd want to see my friend, but I really did want to see her, so if when she shows up, please help welcome her in for a visit".[/quote]

My close friends are my family of choice. They are closer to me than any ILs. If I made plans for my friend to be present and my MIL sent her away/left a FB message telling her to stay away, I would want to know. Because that's absolutely disrespectful to me and my family.

The MIL doesn't get to decide who is important to OP. If OP wanted the friend present, then the friend should've been present. MIL was out of line. [/quote]
