Lingerie shopping with mother in law? #not having a lingerie shower

Yup. She wants to go naughty panty shopping with me. A little backstory: my fiance is an only child (and my older brother's best friend!) and I come from a huge family of 8 kids. I've been friends with his mom since I was about 4 years old, and we are close, but for some reason she has it in her...

Yup. She wants to go naughty panty shopping with me. A little backstory: my fiance is an only child (and my older brother's best friend!) and I come from a huge family of 8 kids. I've been friends with his mom since I was about 4 years old, and we are close, but for some reason she has it in her mind that we are going to be "best friends" when fiance and I are married. She brought up the convo about lingerie and asked if my mom was going to take me (um... no? Is she supposed to?) I told her that my bestie and I were going. Then she said several times that she would "love to take me." Umm... Is it just me or is that awkward? Then I texted my friend and begged her to go with me hahaha. She finally dropped it when I told her every time that bestie and I were going together, but then for my bridal shower(no lingerie) she got me a large sum gift card to a lingerie store. Is this awkward\weird, or am I just thinking too much? Why would I want her helping me pick out lingerie for her son?

    That's definitely weird! "Hey FMIL want to come lingerie shopping with me and help me pick out some sexy panties that I can wear for your son?" Ewww

    It sounds like she didn't think it would cross any boundaries since you are so close. Also, I can definitely see that her desire for grandkids could have something to do with it. Or at least the desire for her son to be happy.

    Or maybe she is jealous that you have such a great body so she doesn't want you to waste that on not wearing lingerie.
