In-law venting thread

[BetteDavisEyes]

Mine has invited herself to be present at the birth of my baby. Expects to be called right away when I'm admitted and will stay throughout the delivery and right through my discharge and then spend a few days here with us.

Uh-huh. You go right on believing that. It ain't gonna happen.

I had a friend with a similar issue.

Her hospital only allowed 2 people in the delivery room. Obviously her husband = 1. So only one other person.

Her MIL assumed that she'd be the other person. Never actually asked, just assumed because my friend's mom lives out-of-state that she'd get to be there in place of her mom.

Well, mom takes PTO and decides to come up for the birth. Guess who got left out in the hallway with the "extras?" She sulked about not being in the delivery room for like 6 months afterward.

My hospital allows up to 3 people but I have invited no one other than my hubby. Why she's assuming she's automatically on the list is beyond me. My hubby has even told her absolutely not but it's in one ear and out the other.
