Partners & In-Laws

I am in my second trimester. My partner and I have been having alot of problems recently in regards to his parents getting involved. He and his mother has taken the time to draft out names for the baby without even asking me and they are even talking about where our child will be schooling without informing me. When i have voiced out my concern to him he gets defensive and with my pregnancy hormones I get so annoyed at him. Has any been through this?

I never did it this way" so 9mths aft my baby was born. I decided I wasn't gonna tolerate her anymore. Ive been avoiding her and ignoring even tho I'm living w my in laws. I feel. happier not listening to her bs lol

My MIL is not even here and she manages to control my partner. She tells him I should let him be a man and his feelings count more than mine. It is so frustrating to keep telling him to just put the baby and I first and we make the choices. He says I am too proud to accept hia mothers help. But I am not. I just want to choose my own childs name, school and so on... sigh
