Geesh, sounds something like MY mom would pull!If this is unusual behavior from your mom, just let it pass and assume that she will regain her sense in short order. If this is fairly typical behavior of her then it probably won't just pass on its own and this is what I would do- if you can afford it:Keep the boy bedding set but also buy the other girl set (I know this is going to sound weird to those with normal moms  . Stash the boy bedding, display the girl bedding sets. While you're still at the hospital, you're fiance can change the bedding, and you can return/ exchange the other girl bedding for something later. (If it's past the 90 return, say it was a gift and that you don't have a receipt). This way you have the bedding you need, you're mom will shut up about it and think she won and you won't have the added agro.All the best! |

| This isn't your moms pregnancy or her babies, it is your pregnancy and your babies. I would set a clear boundary with her now, as in "Mom, I am only preparing for the babies I have been told I am going to have. The ultrasound clearly shows one boy and one girl. If you chose not to see the baby boy after he is born, that is your choice. And if that is your choice then my decision will be to not allow you to see the other baby as well. You will be a grandmother to TWO babies, and if you chose not to have one of them in your life then you will have neither." Be firm and don't back down. She is trying to emotionally blackmail you into doing what she wants. Don't play that game. The sooner you start standing up for yourself and your babies where she is concerned, the better off you will be. |

| Then don't let her see the baby. She obviously has some issue again boy babies and when she gets proven wrong there's a chance she'll continue to be insufferable and turn her nose up at your son. It's sad, your mom needs to grow up. |

| It is not your mother's decision on how you decorate your own nursery for your own children. I would suggest that you explain to her that she has already raised her children and to please let you enjoy raising yours now. Make it a point to let her see how she would feel if HER mother did that to her. |
