[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in laws sound a little similar in the sense that they think family is EVERYTHING and that family should be involved always.  So even though they live 45 minutes away and see us often (at least weekly) they want to skype every evening and they want to talk on the phone all the time.  I usually just roll with it and things go pretty smoothly, except when I am pregnant.  This is my third pregnancy and I am already hormonal and annoyed.  I do think there is this instinctual thing that happens with some pregnant women, including myself, where in you feel extra protective and private and well meaning in laws may have no clue about these feelings or the temporary stricter boundaries you might need.  I recognize this is is kind of unfair on my end but my skin crawls when my MIL asks me about the results of different pregnancy testing for example.  One year she tried to slap a blood pressure cuff on me and I about lost my shit.  Things tend to smooth out again my babies are born. [/quote]

You can't enable this behavior and then complain when it continues: set boundaries or accept the consequences of your choice to allow this to continue.[/quote]
