IL Share

I always enjoy a good IL story. What have you got? Rant or rave?!

We visited the ILs yesterday. MIL constantly asks about my weight! Even though she is mostly flattering it gets on my nerves-no I haven't lost all the baby weight, no my pre-preg clothes don't fit and no I don't want to talk about it!
Also, LO needed a diaper change and she was talking in a baby voice to her saying "if mommy would just move I'd change you right here" (on the other half of the couch). Just b/c you are talking in a cutesy voice doesn't change the fact you are basically saying get out of my way. And I didn't even want her to change LO anyway.

My SIL's baby shower is NEXT weekend. As of Friday MIL still hasn't sent out invitations. MIL is now "in a bad place" because she feels like she fucked up SIL's shower (which she did) and is expecting me and DH's grandmother to fix it.

The woman is a total worthless human being. She is unable to face reality and is extremely selfish. She is borrowing money from DH's grandmother to pay for the shower yet her and FIL go blow money at the casino because it's MIL's birthday. Grow the fuck up! It's not always about what you want it's about what you can do. Unbelievable!

This should be a weekly thread!

My MIL also says things in "cutesy voises" to LO but is really trying to say it to me. Her latest ones are: 1. Well if mommy brings a bottle next time, I'll finally be able to feed you, yes, I can't wait to feed you soon (I EBF and purposefully don't bring bottles cause she's so annoying about it) 2. I've never changed a little girl, no I haven't, I need to change you and I've never put tights on a little girl, I'm gonna put your tights on 3. We're going to be best friends, mommy and daddy are gonna drop you off here and you can sleep over, right mommy, right? 4. Mommy needs to get those pictures to me, I want to put your pictures up everywhere but mommy needs to get them first.

Drives me flipping crazy! She's cray and I am trying to avoid her at all costs. I need a huge break from the ILs...like 2 month break. **not gonna happen** (

Not a huge complaint, but my MIL says "MY BABY!" every time she sees me and LO in the grocery store (she's the bakery manager there). It's only her baby, it's my baby damnit! I would say something but MIL is not stable and bipolar, so uh I'd rather not poke that bear ...

My MIL CRIED and made a huge deal about how much time she was spending with the baby. FIL called and made DF feel bad about it. We now have to make it a weekly visit. I already don't get enough time with my fiance as it is I don't want to spend a whole day over there every week! So frustrating.

My FIL woke DS up on purpose last time we saw him. He was sleeping peacefully in someone s arms and he's like "that boy needs to wake up" next thing I know I look over and he was kissing him and woke him up. Why the heck would you do that?!

Mine is about SO's grandma! It started when I was in labor when she showed up at the hospital and barged in without being invited, and barged in while I was legs fully open pushing! That wasn't a big deal to me until a week ago we got lunch with SO's dad and he was mentioning how when I was pushing the people in the waiting room told the grandma that and she responded with "I don't care, watch me I'll get in". Ew just ew! And she also comments on EVERY single picture I ever post calling LO her baby too. Drives me crazyyyyy! Thank god I don't have to see her much!

ETA: I know it's not a huge deal and was so long ago but since I just found out about her little comment it still makes me so mad!

Ugh that sounds so annoying! Does your SO realize how annoying and rude she's being?

Me?? I don't think he does...he's like my moms just so excited. I'm like Ya but she's a little (a lot) over the top about everything and it's overwhelming. He's like well she just wants a good relationship with LO
(she doesn't have one with 2 of her grandkids because her other DIL is a huge bitch) and wants to be close to her. He doesn't really see it.

PS I sent you a message on FB!!

My MIL is the queen of passive aggressive comments on how to raise a baby and "what is wrong with our generation". I've grown used to it over the past 7 years, but pregnancy and having a little one has cut my patience short. I love his family but she is driving me a bit nuts. Also she keeps stealing my FB pictures and reposting them. I don't know why this irritates me though, someone needs to teach her how to share a post.

Definitely not as bad as most of these IL stories though... You guys have all my sorries.
