i am starting to get really peeved with my overpowering mother-in-law! i know she is excited, but sheesh - is it my baby or hers?!!! she has decided on all the things she wants to buy the baby (with no input from OH or me) - obviously we really appreciate the help but this is our first baby and i was kind of exciting by the fact we would get to go baby shopping but she seems to be one step ahead of us. we have just got back from a week away in cornwall with them and she apparantly saw my mum this morning saying that she is sorting out a holiday to somerset for the 5 of us next year - uh since when did we get to find out about this? when it's booked?!!! we only take one holiday a year, and i don't want to get in the habit of going away with the in laws every year as then we will feel like we have to forever and never get any time to ourelves, just me, hubby and bubs. plus the bubs will have another set of grandparents, but even my mum said she is getting the feeling that it will only have one set!
sorry for the rant - i just feel so claustrophobic with it all and feel like shes the one having the baby and not me!
please tell me i'm not the only one in this situation and if there is anything i can (tactfully) say or do
