Question for those 21 about a clingy MIL?

I would prefer if the answers came from adults only please. Basically my boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years now, I'm 27 and we're expecting our first child together. Most of the 2.5 years have been living apart, just neighboring states 2.5 hrs away while he finishes getting his degree. He has his own apartment and his parents live about 45 minutes away from him. He goes home every weekend and comes to stay with me 1 weekend a month and whenever he has breaks from school. I have stayed with him as well. He is an only child, never brought a girl or woman home until me and though I love his parents and I know they like me as well his mother seems SOO clingy it can be quite annoying sometimes. Some examples of the most extreme cases were one period I stayed with him for about 2 weeks after having not seen him for around 2 months. She called him every single day without fail for the most ridiculous reasons like to tell him about something on tv, something her dog did or whatever. A few weeks ago he had spring break and although he and I had plans to go out of town together they invited us to go on a trip with them. We both agreed it would be a good idea to go, and we would spend the first half of the break with them and then he would come home with me to finish it off. Well without warning or asking us last minute they changed the date of the trip so that we'd have less time at the end of spring break. Once we got back from the trip we basically said our goodbyes and loaded up the car to head to my place. His mother called him twice within 10 minutes to ask him to come back and for us to stay there longer. He kept telling her we were on the expressway. The second call was to ask him if he could come back early, I mean seriously he goes home every weekend and I see him a weekend a month. We had about 3 days left of his spring break. Is it just me or is that too much? I don't want to seem unreasonable but it would be nice to have my boyfriend to myself for the short periods of time I have him for. I don't think it's asking too much. I know all MIL aren't like that, so I don't want to hear "wait till your kid grows up and meets someone". I WILL NOT be clingy, my mother wasn't like that, neither were any of my ex boyfriends' mothers. So tell me straight if I am overreacting, and if I'm not do you think it will ever go away or get better? With a baby coming later this year I fear things will be even worse, her first grandchild and all *shivers*. Keep in mind I have given you a very short version of some of the things she has done, there are many more stories.



she is clingy. you should observe how she is with her husband. And she probably has some past issues like everyone else. Maybe bring it up to your bf when your not irritated about it and maybe he kinna thinks the same. But when shes at her worst remember its wayy better than a MIL who is a BIOTCH!!!




Either she's a nut or your bf is a momma's boy. You better resolve it now or it'll get worse, trust me, been there.
