[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm also older and wiser, with three children, all teenagers.

My MIL was a huge boundary-crosser. Started immediately, with generally pushy behavior and high expectations around the time of our engagement and wedding, then continued into my pregnancy with first GC.  Wanted to accompany me to gyno appointments to see sonogram, find out sex of the baby, wanted to be bedside when I delivered, wanted to accompany me to well-baby check ups.  No, no, no.

Oh, she also (and I've posted about this before on dcum) didn't think I sent out birth announcements fast enough so she sent her own to her family and friends.

Also hated that I EBF; less time with the baby.  On the few occasions she cared for our baby, she'd go out of her way to undermine or worse, ignore some simple requests (a nap, medicine).

Just be aware, OP that this is just the first in a long line of situations where you'll have to assert yourself and create your own boundaries.  Do it as gracefully as you can, pick your battles, but know she is unlikely to change.  [/quote]

If OP's MIL is like yours, then the name request is an issue.  If she's not, then it's a non-issue.[/quote]
