She asked in she was being a brat (her words) because her Inlaws werent paying to help out with the baby. Honestly she was being a little bratty and people called her out on it. She didnt like that and after after saying "well, my DH is in the military" (um,, ok??) she DD'd.
My parents and ILs aren't paying for anything and um, my husband was in the military and it definitely didn't entitle me to special treatment from strangers or family! As our general's wife loved to tell us during deployments, "Girl, it's time to put your big girl panties on and deal with it!"
Hi way to get it wrong.. my parents have put in over $1000 into this baby on their own. I would just like for my ILs to comprehend that they are going to have a grandchild. I never said that being a military wife gave me special privileges, I said that we both have incomes.
BS. You whined that your in laws have only bought a few outfits b/c she thought they were cute, not something you "needed". To me, that says a few things:
1. Yes you are being a brat about it (you ASKED if you were, we answered)
2. They DO care and comprehend a grandchild. It's very nice for them to get excited and buy things, whatever things they may be.
3. You played the military card like we should bow down to your husband and be thankful to him to post here. WTF?
4. You said your dad spoils you and that's the reason you are annoying your in laws aren't. Yes, that's being a brat.

Just because they don't buy anything for you doesn't mean they don't comprehend hat they will have a grandchild. Things don't buy love.

Kudos to your parents. You DDed so I didn't see your initial post - was going purely off of what was here. Maybe your ILs just don't see it as their responsibility - that's my parents stand (they're more than happy to buy nonessentials but this isn't their child). My ILs are crazy and I don't want what they'd offer anyway!

I don't think you understand that no one is obligated to spend anything on your baby. So what, your parents did, consider yourself lucky and call it a dang day. Some people don't even have that assistance.

You stated in your post that we were privileged to have this message board because your husband served in the military. You were not just pointing out that you both had jobs. Quit back peddling.

Hi. Way to really fail at life right now. And I call bullshit!
Just b/c you deleted the original post doesn't mean we don't remember what you said.

As I stated in the post you DD. My husband serves our country, too. He also thinks you are a, "total brat".
I don?t want to be rude by butting in (since I am not even expecting yet) but isn?t there a way to "retrieve" her deleted post? I know I deleted one by accident once and someone found it for me. It showed all the posts and everything....Just wondering
(Walks backwards out of the room hoping no one saw her)

Yes. If I click the "back" button enough times I can get back to it (and have already done so to double check what she wrote) but I'd rather not get involved that deeply or mire myself in internet arguments and name calling so I refrained from copying and pasting it here.
Because, honestly, you ARE privileged to have this message board because of my husband and thousands of other soldiers.
Did I miss something? Was there some kind of war or battle against the interwebz?
Was Al Gore involved?
I'm confused now...
I would realllly love to see you go to Afganistan right now where my husband is and type this ***.
I'd have no problem doing that and I'm sure she wouldn't either. I think soldiers would be appalled at your behavior and attempted use at their skills and willingness to fight for our country.
I would realllly love to see you go to Afganistan right now where my husband is and type this ***.
Do I have to actually go to Afganistan to just type the thing to him? Or can I email it to him?
Don't they have the internet over there? You should just forward this to him. B/c I'm sure he wouldn't be able to tell you one thing he has actually done that gives me this internet forum.
Save lives, fight for freedom, risk his life... yes. But protect my Bump forum? I don't think so...

Ditto JCM's comment! Plus afig07, grow the f*ck up, YOUR HUSBAND is over there & is a soldier, NOT YOU, you deserve NOTHING from us because YOU'VE not done anything. You have no entitlement because of your husband serving, just the same as I don't consider myself to have any entitlements or privledges because my husband served & went to Iraq, or that my father did 3 tours in Vietnam, or that my grandfather served in WWII, so take that & shove it up your ass & grow up & stop using the military card. & as far as your dumbass comment about we should thank your DH & other's who've served for us having this message board, why don't you take a look at many other countries who aren't involved in a war, etc. & still have internet & forums, etc.- you're ignorant.
I'm assuming you are talking about me?? Appreciate it!
oh- there you are!
Why pull the military card? I seriously feel for your current situation b/c I'm in the exact same spot... but then you pull the "my husband serves you and your country" crap so I guess we should all bow down...
Sorry- it just pissed me off... and then you go and delete the thread? What a way to tuck tail and run away...
?
?
I highly doubt you are in the 'exact same spot'... you have no idea what my life is like... Just so you know.
LOL, makes me think Jerry Springer..."YOU DON'T KNOW ME!" Puhlease. ?

MMM.... already done that, thanks. Believe it or not, women can serve in the military too. Yep, it's true. You taking credit for your husband's service is bullshit. You should be thanking him, not us thanking you. Nothing is more annoying than women acting like having someone overseas is the same as being deployed yourself. I've done both. They are not the same.
"Because, honestly, you ARE privileged to have this message board because of my husband and thousands of other soldiers. "
OH NO YOU DIDN'T. My husband just got out of the military last year and my father served for 30 years and I can assure you that they never fought for a freaking message board!!!!! WOW.
AND you were acting like a spoiled brat, no one needs to support your child except you. And kudos on dual income, so please do tell, why you care/need your ILs to spend another 1k on your kid?

So then why not get over it already if you and DH both have incomes? Just because your parents have put in over $1000.00 of their own money doesn't mean your ILs have to reciprocate. This is your child, not theirs. The fact that it is a grandchild is not a valid enough reason to have them pony up funds to support, furnish or lavishly spoil your child. Seriously, I think you need to take a step back and realize that just because your pregnant, you are not entitled to have your ILs buy your baby everything your heart desires. I also find it humorous that you're getting your panties in a twist whe you are the one who posed the question on a public board...

Mmmm... yes, this makes you look much more mature. Thanks for clarifying.
Perhaps I should notify my and DH's parents that NEITHER of them have met the $1K "grandparent deductible" yet.
I don't think you understand that no one is obligated to spend anything on your baby. So what, your parents did, consider yourself lucky and call it a dang day. Some people don't even have that assistance.
You made it sound a bit entitling. We could recheck it-oh wait. We can't.
Fig, just bow out of this one. Its not going to get better.
LMAO
$1K Grandparent Deductible??? LOL!!! hilarious (secretly wishing it was true)
You stated in your post that we were privileged to have this message board because your husband served in the military. You were not just pointing out that you both had jobs. Quit back peddling.
Awesome. I'm so going to present this to my parents and ILs with official looking paperwork and watch the heads roll... it would be hilarious!
