Today, my fiancé and I told my future mother-in-law that we are expecting. Her response was, "Why are you doing this to me?" FML

Hi everyone, OP here. I'd like to start by saying that the few of you who said she doesn't like me, you are probably right. When my fiance and I got engaged she didn't want to tell her family, to this day 2 years later I don't know who does and doesn't know. I believe she doesn't want to accept the fact that her 27, almost 28 year old son is getting married and starting a family. I myself am 26. My family on the other hand is super excited. She has stated a couple times that she is in no position to support us once the baby gets here. My fiance works 45+ hours a week at a very good job so we will be fine. We tried telling her that we won't need her support financially and she doesn't believe us. We live somewhere there is enough room to raise a child. Also my insurance will cover all of our hospital and Dr bills. My fiance and I have been together for over 5 years and living together for almost 3. We both love each other very much and are excited about the life we created. I figure if that's how she wants to act then oh well it's her loss! Sorry that was so long!

What a lovely mother-in-law. She might change her tune once she first lays eyes on the kid.

My mother was completely against my brother having a child. In fact, she didn't want any of her kids having children all because she didn't want to be a grandma. She is very vain and self centered, but she has warmed up to my niece. She wont let her call her grandma though, she has to call her MeMe. And if anyone calls her grandma she gets angry and quickly corrects them. Its all very childish to me, but at least she isn't treating my niece poorly for her own insecurities. Your mother in law may also be jealous that u are bringing a soul into the world that he will love more than her.

You should have sang rude to her. Surely she would have got very mad, but it'd be worth it

sounds to me like she's just thinking she's not old enough to be a grandmother or you guys are ridiculously young..

If she does this sort of thing all the time ("Why are you doing this to me?" "Why don't you respect my feelings?" "I don't understand how you could be so rotten!" about fairly innocuous things you do that don't even concern her) she may be a narcissist. Of course, it's impossible to tell just from this tiny bit of information, but this rings a small alarm in my head. I've been reading far too many stories about people raised by narcissists, so I've definitely got some bias going on, but I still think it's worth tossing the possibility out there.
