MIL ugh

CaitlinJ22CaitlinJ22 member
in Two Under 2

My MIL is not my favorite person, on top of that she had one child and her life didnt change a bit. So when she sees me adjusting plans to have Finn take a nap or eat at 6pm she scoffs at me and has told me what she did etc etc.

Anyway, she has said twice in one week (we are visiting family in FL) that she cant imagine how we are going to do two kids this close in age. she said it to DH too. He said--we'll be great and we are ready (as we can be). I guess she cant fathom having more kids. I wish people would be quiet.

    By saying these things to you, all she is doing is showing why SHE could never have handled 2 kids close in age... I think you should just smile sweetly while you think about how you are much better at handling these things than she was... I must be having a mean day, haha!

    haha I do that exactly. She is very competitive and so when we got pg this time DH actually said--well she cant tell you what she did with two kids!

    HA!!!!  Don't you sometimes wish you could say something like that to her and there be no ramifications?!  "At least you won't be telling me how you managed your 2 kids... Oh, snap!!!"  Yeah, definitely having a mean day... I just hate when people try to tell other people what to do... Everyone's got their own way of doing things and I'm sure your LO isn't the same as your DH when he was a baby...

    Maybe she's in denial that her DS is all grown up, which means she's getting old?  GL with the rest of your visit!

    i think thats it exactly. She just turned 60 a few days ago and never wants to be called grandma...she made up some name that sounds like Mama, I say no to that, so I call her grandma =) i mean get over it, being a grandma has its perks, you are gma age!
