MIL vent..........

Soooo... We wanted to wait longer to tell our parents about being PG.....but my parents were coming to our house for 6 days....and I knew it would be hard to hide not drinking from them for so many days....so we told my parents... My sister has suffered with IF and a miscarriage so I knew my mom would keep her mouth shut... (she made the mistake of blabbing everything to my whole family when my sister got pregnant and went on to miscarry and had the task of untelling everyone)...... So I knew my secret was safe with her.... DH felt it wouldn't be 'fair' to tell one set of parents over another...and he SWORE she would keep her mouth shut....even though I know she  has a big mouth.... but after she had my DH she got remarried and went through tons of unsuccessful IF treatments,  so I kinda thought she would be able to keep the secret... since she had gone through so many things.... So when we told her we specifically told her she couldn't tell anyone...since we have miscarriages in our family and it was too early to tell anyone now...and one of the first things out of her mouth was "Oh how could you tell me when I can't tell anyone" (which to me was a bad sign)... Anyways... on her facebook status right now it says " XX is telling herself over and over again to be patient".... which I know is referencing us.... and I'm annoyed...Why even bring attention to it? What is the point? I called DH and complained to him and he feels I being over sensitive... and that she could be 'talking about anything' (sure just a coincidence)...  My status update is "XX is annoyed" .... but I would love to say "XX is wondering if she opened up her mouth too soon".... You know as if being pregnant isn't stressful and worriesome enough I have to worry about her stupid status updates... Tomorrow we are having an ultrasound.... hopefully we get good news...thats the only thing keeping me sane right now... Thanks for letting me vent!

Don't get me wrong, I'm the queen of the my MIL SUCKS club, but this is really not that big of a deal.  She certainly shouldn't be acting snitty about it but you can't control her.  If it annoys you un-friend her on facebook.

And most importantly.... Good Luck Tomorrow!!!

How frustrating!  I totally understand.  We decided to tell our families right away but no one else.  SMIL almost "outted" us.  She sent DH a message on Facebook saying how excited she and FIL were about the baby and they were so happy that we shared our great news.  We wanted to punch her. 

Luckily, DH was on his computer at the time so he was able to delete it right away.  Then we had to have a conversation with SMIL to explain that Facebook and email are two separate things; one is very public and the other is private.

Yikes. I would be mad too!

My MIL is nuts if it makes you feel any better. I only wanted to tell my parents but DH felt it was only fair to tell both. We just told her last week and she drove down from NC (to FL) last weekend. She spent the entire time pointing at every baby, picking up (super ugly frilly) baby clothes and suggesting the worst names ever. (Her name was mentioned a few times -LOL) I asked her to not tell ANYONE until 12 weeks and I really doubt if she will make it past our 8 week appointment. She had 2 miscarraiges after my husband so I would think she could understand.....

I'm just thankful she isn't on Facebook!! Good Luck!!
