What To Do...........What To Do????
Hi Guyz. I know this isnt really a parenting question but i really need some honest and non-bias advice
I have been engaged to the man of my dreams for16months and we share a 9month old who we adore.
My problem is my fiancee's parents! They are and have always been very intrusive and continually stick their noses in to our buisness! I know alot of people have issues with their inlaws BUT its to the stage that i have just called off our engagement..........i just cant handle them anymore!
It doesnt matter what it is, they have to have their say and push their views that far that we have no choice but to do as we are told! My fiancee has always had a very close relationship with his parents which honestly i find a great thing i really do BUT i do not understand why he has always allowed them to be so controling as they now expect to do the same to us as a family.
From the christening of our daughter, to where we get married(for their convenience) wanting us at their house when ever they want, what we buy our little girl, what kind of car we bought and how much it cost, and pressuring us to buy a house asap, when i should have another baby (thinks i cant handle another till my daughter is atleast 5)etc.....etc.....etc..... I have always been an independant peron and i can not handle them having so much say in our lives. They have been spoken to about this several times but my fiancee and have had a couple of diff reactions, firstly they promised to back off and then got angry as they claim to "be helping us".
We are not children (im 28 and my fiancee is 30) we do not need to be watched and controled like kids. I know this probably sounds like a simple problem, but i know that they have no intension of backing off, they think that they are entitaled to do this to us! They are ruining my family, i love this man but because i refuse to let them do this anymore (and i know they will never stop) i cant marry him!
Please help me
