I'm pregnant with twins and as a baby shower gift, one of my moms presents were bedding sets. Now she really can't get over that I'm having one boy, one girl, she wants two girls and insists on buying everything for the babies, girly things. I loved the bedding sets, but exchanged one of them for a boy bedding set because I don't want my boy to have girly bedding.Anyway, my fiance just finished putting together the nursery and my mom stopped by to see it. The first thing she said when she walked into the room was "Where's the other bedding set?". I told her calmly and nicely that I was having one of each so I exchanged it. She started to freak. She yelled "YOU'RE HAVING GIRLS! I KNOW IT! YOUR HAVNG TWO GIRLS!" and I told her "No, I'm not. The doctor says I'm having one boy, and one girl." But my mom won't listen.Now my mom says I'm an ungreatful daughter and that until I exchange the boy bedding set for the girl one, she won't see the baby.HELP!By the way, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section.And here is the bedding set she bought:http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3073539and here's the one I got when I exchanged the second one:http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3066859And also it's not like this will be her only granddaughter, I have a 2 year old daughter named McKenna.Darla, if they both come out as girls, I will personally go to each and every person in my neighborhood and do the chicken dance, because with all of this crazyness, if she ends up being right, I'll never hear the end of it....

Tell her she is being stupid and needs to get over it. And if she is going to be that immature she doesn't deserve to see either of your precious babies.

Wow, it sounds like she's kind of controlling (by kind of I mean majorly). But obviously when a boy and a girl pop out instead of two girls she won't have anything that she can say about it. She'll get over it.

I have been through a twin pregnancy and I know how extremely hard it is. The last thing you need is stress from your mother. I think you should probably just ignore her for a while. Once the babies are born, she will accept her grandchildren and I'm sure be more supportive. But for now, just don't talk to her. She is being very childish and you don't need to stoop to her level. I'm sure she'll come around in time though. Good luck.

Well thats her choice if she wants to act that immaturely. Just tell her that its her fault if she misses out and that you arent stopping her from seeing her grandkids, that its all her fault that she is acting like such an idiot. Trust me, people can be moronic sometimes, but when I am pregnant I dont take any crap. My mom was gettin on my nerves too in my first pregnancy, trying to take everything over. I was having twins too (I did not want to know the gender though it turned out boy/girl) and did the nursery neutral colors. She got so mad because she wanted to buy for one gender or the other and wanted to know what I was having. She said I was being impossible and I told her to either deal with it and grow the hell up or leave me alone. She chose to think about it and came around. Be strong.

Sorry Honey but your mom sounds childish. I don't have any grandchildren and I'd be so thrilled especially to have one of each. Don't let her stress you out. If she's gonna act like this you may not want her to see the babies. Hopefully she'll get over this and see God's blessings.

first i hae the girls bedding set that she got you. the boys one that you got is nice. dontworry about your mom. when i found out i was pregnant, i thought i was having a boy but my mom insisted it was a girl, it is a girl but still, she said if its a boy she wants nothing to do with it and she wont do anything to help. she went with me to my 3 month ultrsound and when she saw the baby she changed. your mom will change, i promise. just give her time.

I have a feeling this is very typical for her-she sounds very controlling and I think this is a growing time for you. You'll have to tell her, "Ok mom, if you choose not to see your grandchildren over this, fine, that's your choice, but the bedding sets stay as they are. I'm not having my SON sleep on a girl's bedding set... I appreciate your gift but unfortunately, my son has no use for something that is for a girl."You will have to be firm, but ultimately any time she brings it up, aside from what I mentioned above, if she says ANYTHING about it just say, "Mom, I'm not discussing it any more." And leave it at that. She'll have to get over it in her own time, and if she won't, it may be better because she sounds like she's not quite all together... I've never heard of anyone being like that over the gender of a baby! Good luck!

That is crazy. I am sorry you have to deal with that. My husbands mother has not even seen my 4 month old daughter yet because she wanted us to have a boy. It makes me really said that just because my daughter is a girl she is somehow not her grandchild. It is hard to deal with. Hopefully once the babies are born she will lighten up and get over it. Sorry! All you can do is wait to have the babies and see how she reacts.

Hi,wow, sorry for that.i would just quietly exchange everything she buys, hide what you can, don't bother arguing with her. limit contact with her until the babies are born, you don't need the stress and neither do your developing babies.once your babies are born she will accept them both and instantly fall in love with them.if she doesn't, well... keep her away from them. your boy doesn't need to be exposed to her resentment, no matter how young he is.wouldn't it be funny if they did both come out as girls? how would you ever live that one down? lol.Congratulations! and Best Wishes to you all.
