^_^ Hello again ladies!! How have you been? I know it's been a while since I was here, but I've been finishing everything before my little girl is born. Alexandria is doing great, although she did give us a shock when we thought she was going to be preterm last week, but all is well and I've been taking it very, very easy now. Late next month, my little girl will be born into the world. ^_^ My husband and are doing fine and are just excited about Alexandria. Well that's the good news!!
Here's where it gets messed up-> Monster-in-law is just on a whole new level of causing trouble!!
I'm sure you all remember my earlier posts regarding her, and how I was at least going to give her supervised visits with the child. Well, I'm here to say that there is no way in hades that I'll ever let that woman now or in future get anywhere near my daughter!!
At first, she 'seemed' to be okay, but then all of a sudden she decided to turn bossy declaring what she was going to be doing at my house (meaning pop-up uninvited visits that I don't tolerate from anyone with permission and advanced notice). She makes her agendas known to my husband without even asking me in hopes that it will get done without my input. Of course my huddy tells me what she's up to!! She knows she has to go through me concerning my daughter also, but yet wants to be sneaky and tries to bypass me. My hubby has told her about tying to do things that way, but she's not listening to him.
Well I decided to ask her why she's trying to bypass me by going to my husband to get things done without asking me, when she knows the rule. She had the nerve to get upset and say that the reason is because my husband is her only son and she loves him. Well, seeing as that has absolutely nothing to do with her sneakiness, I asked again. She still gave me the same answer with an attitude , and that's where I went off on her because I could see that she was still up to controlling things, and getting what she wants. I'm telling you ladies, I just lost my temper with her and my patience, and permanently she is not allowed anywhere near my daughter.
As usual, she went to throwing her hysterical, crying, hyperventilating, hissy fit that everyone is familiar with when she doesn't get her way so everyone can baby her until she gets what she wants. That made me even angrier and I let her know that she's been trying to control our relationship from the beginning, tried to destroy it on top of that anyway that she could when she couldn't get her way, definitely wasn't happy that we got married or when news of my pregancy was known, and that she has the nerve to throw a fit!! From the time I found out I was expecting to now, she has been causing me nothing but total stress, I nearly lost my little girl at one time, and she dares all of a sudden to want to be 'grandma' and try to still be sneaky!! I may have forgiven her for what she did but that doesn't make me fool to actual trust her ever, and I told her that because of her sneakiness now.
Now all of a sudden she wants to commit herself to the hospital!! I'm telling you the honest truth on that. I knew she had some issues, even my own hubby's been telling me that she needs help and a lot of it. I just did not think that she would get so dramatic as to want it now because she can't get what she wants on this issue. She is such a drama queen and I bet that if she was getting her way, she wouldn't be getting all dramatic and talking like that. Her husband is a psych nurse and he's been giving her medicine to calm her down and make her sleep everyone time she gets all like this, but it's real interesting that when all is going her way that she seems to be perfectly fine now that I think about it. Just one big hissy fit for a brat is what she seems like to me. She'll call tomorrow as she always does every Sunday to talk to my husband, and I'm sure she's going to use her feeble voice in hopes of getting what she wants, but my husband said that it won't work on him anymore. Usually, my hubby is the one that tries to be the peacemaker and smooth things between us, but he now sees how she really is and knows this is her all her doing. He told me that she has to grow-up and deal with it.

Sounds like you made a very good decision by not letting your MIL anywhere near your daughter. Your MIL sounds like nothing but trouble. I'm glad to hear that your DH is sticking up for you and standing up to her. That is VERY good! Kudos to your DH!
Also, when you have your daughter, please don't forget to stop by and let us know how you and your daughter are doing!
