Excellent advice. Redirection is probably best. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 19/11/2009 05:58:39 AM
It's important for you to tell her that you would rather go through this in (relative) privacy. See if you can get her another job, such as calling all the relatives, helping stock you with supplies, feeding your goldfish? She probably just wants to be involved, and it'll be difficult to not offend her when you tell her you don't want people in there, so you probably need a back-up job or something to suggest.


I really like the idea of having her be the person to call others. when it is time your husband can call her and then she can call everyone else. By the time she is finished you and your husband will be in the room and she won't be able to attend. Just time the initial call to her at the last available moment, e.g. when you guys are checked into the hospital and you are heading wherever it is a woman in labor goes. He can make the call and then catch up to you. That should keep her busy for awhile. ;)

ugh. why do people use babies as an excuse for privacy invasion?? LadyLorraine - 19/11/2009 02:26:13 PM 411 Views
I think it's more about making oneself important to the situation than specifically to invade privac nossy - 19/11/2009 03:54:27 PM 408 Views

The next time she makes a comment like that, repeat your point about who will be in the room. Tom - 19/11/2009 02:42:20 PM 408 Views
You've already told her that it's only going to be your hubby SilverWarder - 19/11/2009 03:16:27 PM 399 Views
