Getting frustrated with MIL while pregnant
For context im 29 weeks pregnant and super uncomfortable, my husband is really supportive and amazing but i can't stand my MIL sometimes. i live with just these two and she recently had to let go my SIL who was kind of more available for her.
I understand she's lonely but is now more focused on everything else around her including what i do around the house. I'm already an anxious person and she constantly observes me, looks at what im doing whenever she enters the kitchen and nitpicks at smallest things. she has this habbit of speaking loudly and every time it triggers me. i understand that's her way of communication but it's been getting on my nerves so much recently.
since im this far along in my pregnancy im unable to get out of the house, even sitting in car for 10 minutes is uncomfortable, so im basically stuck at home
She went away for the weekend for something and i never felt so free and liberated. and whenever she's home i just lock myself in the room and scared to go out and do regular stuff. this house doesn't feel mine at all, i think hundred times before doing the laundry since washing machine is in kitchen and she almost everyday have her clothes on drying line. plus guests now come more often for her company and it's super uncomfortable for me
i know others have it worse and i know im being extra sensitive right now but it's been adding to my anxiety and i keep worrying about my kid being constantly nagged or nitpicked or critisized. i never ever want that for my kid.
don't get me wrong she's been really helpful throughout my pregnancy in terms of cooking and making extra things i might need (happened rarely), but it's the idea of not being able to move freely and do things around the house.
i know i should just do what i want but i just can't help it these days, and i don't want to feel like this when i know it's effecting my baby. anxiety is just too overwhelming and ultimately it effects my mental health alot.
has anyone else dealt with something similar while being pregnant and emotional?
