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?

Haha it’s like he and his mother were the baby’s parents. I think it somewhat stems from the fact that you and his mother not being close enough? That’s why got this kind of trust issues. It’s true that when we marry someone we marry the family as well. Honestly I don’t know the whole background but if you want to try, can initiate some gestures of peace with her. Buy her fave food or bring her to lunch for friendly chat or smth just to understand her

I thought we were on good terms. But the moment they found out about my pregnancy, everything changed. She and my partner were writing a list of names, looking at schools... I told my partner I appreciate it but I am not comfortable and all I wanted was to make sure the baby was growing nicely. But he got defensive instead
