[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Thanks for the comments. Still trying to decide if this is worth saying something over. Due to personalities involved, there isn't a way to mention it casually, it will no doubt turn into a confrontation with hurt feelings. Husband is more than happy to say something, but that would spark more of a confrontation than if I said something.

This behavior (clueless re etiquette) is pretty typical and I don't see it changing. She didn't mean any harm, but she just doesn't think and it's all about her. I'm leaning toward not bothering to say anything.[/quote]

OP, if it's not this, it will be something else.  You need to get your mom used to the idea that you and DH are in charge of your child, not her.  From your description, it sounds like that *needs* to happen, and sooner rather than later.

&quot;Mom, I am disappointed that you didn't ask us before you posted about our baby's birth on Facebook, let alone posted a picture of me in the hospital without asking permission.  I'm going to ask that you not post photos of the baby without checking in with me first.&quot;

&lt;&lt;&lt;Mom gets upset&gt;&gt;&gt;

&quot;Mom, this is my child, and these decisions are ours to make. I need you to respect that. You may not like every decision we make for our child, but I need you to respect those decisions regardless.&quot;[/quote]
