Husband keeps asking his mother for advice regarding my pregnancy and it’s getting irritating?

[Anonymous]

I am pregnant. My boyfriend has always been very close to his parents. He asks his mom for advice and keeps feeding back to me, telling me my mum said this, said that… it’s getting irritating and I’m worried it’ll get even worse when the baby is born. Am I being unreasonable?

You're being a bit stupid honestly. His MOTHER, who... you know... was pregnant at least once, is a solid place to ask to get ideas to help through pregnancy. You've already said he's close to them, so why wouldn't he ask and then relay information he got from that back to you. You chose him, and you chose his family when you decided to have a baby with him. Getting advice is not some big evil. You just say thanks and move on. Advice doesn't mean "you must", and only if they suggest it's a must should you lay down the clear boundaries.

To be honest he is quite pushy, if his mom tells him to do something he feels he always needs to do it and pushes me to do it

then like I said, set the clear boundary. Things do change so not all "when i was pregnant" is going to work for you.

It's just your mood swings. It's normal it happens. Females have to deal with lot's of harmones and mood swings and so irritation. And during pregnancy it's more. Don't worry if you think logically you would know he is just wanting to be more caring to you and baby. It's good thing. With your logic you can give reason to your irritation to get settled down.

Tell your mother not to respond to him, or offer any advice.
