Asking visitors to call before coming over?
Am I being ridiculous in not opening the door if I'm not expecting anyone? The issue is mainly my in laws, we live 2 doors down from them which is an issue we need to fix when we can afford to move. My MIL and me do not get along, she has made obnoxious, snarky comments to me since our son was born and I'm over it and done being bullied by her. She gives me anxiety and just being around her sucks the positive energy right out of me. I'm 6 weeks pregnant with our second (she doesn't know because she's nosy and would tell everyone when we want to wait til the 1st trimester is over) I'm crazy emotional and she doesn't call when she wants to come see our son. I'm pretty sure she knocked on our door today shortly after we got home but I totally took the baby and hid. The barking dog and my rig out front were proof I'm home, but I'm done with her making me feel inferior to her. My husband sides with me and has let his mom know that she's not going to drive a wedge between us, when she accuses me of coming between her and her son, and how he started acting like an a-hole when we got together. She has a thousand excuses for her behavior, none of which are her fault. I will deal with her only when I have to and when my husband is around.

Girl. I, you are not being ridiculous. Stand your ground

My MIL gives me horrible anxiety also. I would never see her without my husband, it's bad enough even with him around. I'm sorry you live so close to her, that has to be really hard.

Isn't it common courtesy to call before going to someone's house? I would be pissed and totally would do the same thing you did

I wouldn't answer the door either. My best friends mother in law is a nightmare and she finally had to set boundaries her husband has to be home or else she can't stop by.

I don't answer the door either unless I'm expecting a visit. She needs to respect your privacy.

Keep her out and away until she gets the hint to back off

Girl no im the same way. she sounds so annoying. If people can't respect what u ask in ur home then they just shouldn't come. I think that's a common courtesy anyway. Pregnant or not there's some days that people just don't want to be bothered.
