So we really supposed to ditch contraception after getting married!!?

I’m 18 days out from my wedding and I thought my MIL had hit peak ridiculousness when she announced at my bridal shower that my fiancé and I should start sleeping in separate rooms because “it’s tradition.” But this woman always finds new ways to outdo herself. She pulled her son aside yesterday and in the most serious tone, told him “Now that the wedding is so close, you two should stop using contraception"

Excuse me, WHAT?? Why is she even thinking about our sex life? I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that she thinks she has a say in this or the fact that she genuinely believes we’re supposed to stop using contraception after the wedding

Her son stared at her and asked, “Mom what the hell are you talking about?” She then rambled on how catholic couples shouldn’t interfere with God’s plan and birth control is against our faith. We are NOT practicing Catholics. She knows this. We’re not even having a Catholic wedding. She herself only has three kids. So unless she naturally ovulated like clockwork for 30 years straight, I’m guessing some “interference” happened at some point. She had NO problem with my SIL (her daughter) and BIL and his wife using contraception. But with us, she’s got religious morals?

I honestly don’t even know what to say at this point
