Hi,
My husband and I have been married 1.5 years. I'm pregnant with our first child, due in the spring.
Things between us are extremely stressful, in some ways because of the dynamic between his mother and me. She is so passive agressive! Every time she is over at our place or we're at her place, she takes over the disciplining of our puppy, interrupts me when I'm speaking, and says things to me that are extremely condescending. My husband is not sympathetic to my irritation, and gets frustrated with me when I share my irritations about his mother. I don't want to cause trouble but I am very concerned she is going to "bud in" once we have our child, and I want to set some good ground rules now! How do I tell my mother-in-law to back off without alientating her and all my in-laws and my husband?
Thank you!
