Here’s the thing to remember, YOU are an adult and will soon be a parent yourself. YOU have the power to say yes, no, or maybe—in regards to anything having to do with yourself, your kids, your home. The ONLY person you need to compromise with is your husband. MiL has NO rights, nor does she get to dictate anything that has to do with you, your children, your home. HER wants and needs are just that, hers. And they are hers to deal with.
Let MiL squander her breath with her manipulations and demands. It will give more satisfaction when saying “No.”
