Still waiting

My wife is getting anxious and frustrated waiting to give birth. Tomorrow we have an appointment for a fetal heart monitor and sonogram just to keep a check on the baby's condition.

My mother-in-law didn't stop by, she and my wife are having a bit of trouble dealing with each other. Her mother constantly believes she is on the receiving end of hatred from my wife. Her problem is that she leads with darkness and then feels justified when my wife gets snappy because her mom gets flighty and negative.

Hmm...is this the type of relationships that parent and children have? I don't have this kind of relationship with my mother, on the other hand my father and I haven't spoken in 20 years. I'm very aware of how children pick up the habits of parents and that's one thing I don't want: to be my dad.
