3rd Trimester
my MIL is such a gem
even after seven years of NON-STOP passive aggressive BS from her, she never ceases to come up with something else that is so rude it makes my head spin...
this morning she called and was telling dh how great this girls she met at the gym is and how he should meet her because she is such a funny nice girl and she is just amazing. then she proceeded to go on about how said girl is married to some dumb guy but thank goodness they have no kids and blah blah balh..... the icing on the cake was, "sometimes, people marry the wrong person and shouldn't be afraid to get a divorce - even if the other person has gone and done something stupid - LIKE GET PREGNANT."
it was totally an underhanded jab at US! she is not only trying to set my husband up with other women, but she is making no bones about her feelings about our baby!?! WTF?
(a disclaimer: she has no reason to think we should get a divorce. we are happy and have been for seven years. we planned this little baby together. we are beyond excited. it is just pure craziness. my head is spinning.)

Re: my MIL is such a gem
If my MIL was talking like that, my DH would just hang up and tell me she was being a B. He wouldn't tell me specifics like that because he wouldn't want to hurt my feelings.
Sorry your MIL sucks.
he said, "well, i guess that some people should get a divorce, but we aren't so you don't need to worry about it." and she totally back pedaled like, "what made you think i meant YOU?!"
she says crap like this all the time - everyone thinks she is insane, and we have heard a couple of things second hand that she has said about us being pregnant that are less than nice. i think she is mentally unstable and in denial about it - her and DH have gone the ROUNDS about everything, and it just continues. i could write a book! LOL
we are just at a point that he hangs up on her and tells me and we laugh and shake our heads. we don't have a ton to do with her and i perfer that she wants nothing to do with me and my baby...
dh is an only child and his fateher was killed in a motorcycle accident, so he has some guilt over just cutting her lose - and he yells at her and it goes no where. like i said, she has something wrong with her. it is something that i used to lose sleep over, but i see how it isn't worth it now.
Wow! I thought my MIL was bad. I hope yours lives far enough away not to come by to see baby very often. She may change her mind about baby when she sees him or her and is reminded of your DH as a child. That softened mine up a bit, but her craziness just finds other outlets. We've taken to screening her letters to the kids so we can explain when they read them the Grandma is a little crazy, and that comment about how you shouldn't be exposed to "regular" kids is her twisted way of saying how proud she is of you being so smart and has absolutely nothing to do with your best friend whom she has never even met... (for example)
*sigh* at least there's two state buffer between her and us.
"What a C*nt. I wouldn't let her anywhere NEAR LO when born. Fvck her. Be aggresive and call her on this bull shyt! Smack a bytch"
Me likey the way you think!! lol!
OP, I am so sorry you have to deal with this BS!
So, what did she do after you throat punched her?
You did throat punch her, right?
Oh my! She does sound like quite a gem....
Sorry you have to put up with that!
