is this selfish?

My mother in law is coming for the weekend and I told him that I didn't really want her doing any work in the nursery. I would like it to be just him and me doing all the decorating and stuff. He told me that was selfish. I honestly don't feel like it is. This is our baby and I've waited a long time for this and want to do the nursery on our own. Now he's mad at me. Great...

    Nope.. Not selfish! Your bby...your decision! Shes already had her child/children..if she wants to do a nursery then maybe she should have another! Lol

    @mimii36, thank you! Now he's got me feeling bad. And it may not even be an issue but I wanted to run it by him ahead of time so he knew where I stood.

    You shouldnt feel bad at all. Nothing wrong with wanting to do YOUR nursery for YOUR baby.

    On that aspect I am very lucky b/c my husband always backs me up when it comes to MIL issues. I think this is our special time and if we want to be "selfish" we r allowed to. My husband & I already decided no body will be in allowed in the hospital room until after the bby is born so no visitors allowed. My MIL is a nice person but she can b very smothering. She stole all the thunder when we bought our house so she is not stealing this moment. People don't have to like ur decisions but they have to respect it and if they have an issue then though

    Thanks @everyone. I appreciate the support. I know my hormones are out of whack sometimes but I wanted to be sure I wasn't wrong in this.
