My boyfriends mom has helped me a ton since i have been pregnant. She has bought some things for the baby but now she keeps making comments about how she is going to be the one who takes care of my baby and making me feel like I don't know what im doing. i have taken classes since i found out i was pregnant. I know this doesnt mean i know everything but i feel like i know and will learn to be the best mom i can be. She wants the baby to be taken care of by her at her house but her 2 year old son is a very jealous lil boy! he even gets mad and hits and cries untill i get away from his older brother (my boyfriend) i am afraid that he will hit my baby when she is born. His mom says that he wont but i thnk that she thinks it is funny when he gets jealous.

What do you mean by take care of? Like while you are at work or what? I didn't take any classes at all, I am just learning as I go. You'll do fine every mother was new at this at one point, if she is over stepping tell her to ease up.

you know what just tell her to shove it.nobodys perfect and im sure she didnt do everything right when her first chold was born either.no new mother knows exactly what to do. even if you have had a child before its difficult because every baby is different and so is every situation.dont let her get to you.

Let her know that this is YOUR child and you intend on raising her.
Should you decide you really don't want her to babysit for you because of the little boy you're going to need to take into consideration how much child care would cost outside of the home.
NOW if she is talking about raising that child and taking over your role, THIS is the time to make it perfectly clear that you have no intention to be anything but the best mother to your child and you don't need her to try to replace you. If you wait till after baby is born things could get messy!
Good luck hun, we all have to be a first time mom at least once!
You'll be great!
