Q: over bearing mother in law

ohhk... i love my mother in law, but seriously the way she acts would drive anyone bonkers. im pregnant due in 2 weeks, my baby is breech an there have been a few other probs.
she flips out all the time bout the pregnancy an tries to take control, she tried the other day to call MY doctor an get my info out of him, even tho i already told her what the doctor said then she made me write out a hole page worth of questions she wanted answering and made me phone the doctor and get the answers, i already new all the answers.
then the last midwife appt i had she came along, and the midwifes got my file mixed up with soomone else an thought i was depressed (i prob am now coz of her) an she butts in saying yes i am, an im anxious an stressing at everything thats been happening, when its her, she made me cry coz she kept saying it an i was trying to defend my self but she kept talking over me saying no no no you are so the midwife send her out the room, an talked to me bout it by my self, an i told her what iv told u lot, and now coz of her i have to go see a social worker to learn how to deal with her. and the doctors said im going to have a small baby and iv been having trouble keeping food down (morning sickness again) and once we went to a mate bbq had a late lunch then went to hers for dinner an i said i wasnt too hungry and she got really angry saying im not eating right no wonder your having problems and all this i stood there with my mouth opend an my partner jumped in an had ago at her.
but its not just that, you cant say anything that will make out she is wrong, even if she is wrong.
my partner just says nod an agree but its so hard to do it,

any advice?

wow! i hope she doesnt live with you. if she doesnt thank your lucky stars! i would just ignore her. she seems like she's not screwed right. everyone has in-laws problems that's why they say you married the man not his family. meaning you dont have to deal with them that often.

I know how you feel
Wow I feel for you. I am having problems with my MIL. and my husband tells me to ignore her but it is hard when things matter to you and you feel like your opinion and your answers are ignored. My MIL thought she had the right ot pick our baby's name which I told her we are the parents and we decide on a name. Now she is trying to tell me a bunch of outdated advice on how to take care of a newborn and what I should be doing in my pregnancy much like yours. Hope you have your own place so you can avoid her right now I have to deal with mine because we are all in the same house.
message me if you want to chat I know what you are going through. I think what will happen is you just have to say what you think and then dismiss what she says.
