[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your MIL did overstep.  Especially with the follow up FB message banishing your friend.  How awkward.

But where was your DH?  I also think this message should be delivered by him.  "Mom, you should not have sent Susie's friend away AND then FB messaged her.  Susie really wanted to see her and they had discussed this ahead of time".  Then that's it.

If she apologizes, just say "yes I was confused and a little hurt when Susie never showed up to visit.  She told me later you'd messaged her to stay away.  I wish you hadn't."

END.  Do not argue about it.  If you MIL is defensive and never apologizes, just move on.  But also don't allow her to be in the delivery room again.

Your DH should have run better interference with his mother day of.[/quote]

DH could have run better interference, true.  But MIL is a grown adult and SHE is the one responsible for and accountable for her own actions.  First time parents who are literally in the Labor and Delivery room should not be having to spend an ounce of their energy "running interference" over meddling and overstepping hospital visitors.  MIL needed to either behave herself or face the consequences.  The consequences are that she will not be told until AFTER the next baby is already born.
