Want to Scream at MIL!!

but instead I'll be bigger person and yell at all you. 
DH and I went to visit the monster in law this weekend and DH decided to finally come clean with her about our infertility struggles. As he recounted the details of our visit with Dr. Vaughn and how hopeful we are she seemed supportive and on board. We talked about how we know we'll be parents even if we have to adopt. Thought it went great.
Until DH shows me an email she sent him today. She said that he is the only male heir to the family and she hopes he will have children of his own to pass on the genes. She asked him how long he planned to keep trying to have kids with me and when he planned to pull the plug and try with someone else.
SERIOUSLY... wtf???? Luckily DH is now vowing to never speak to her again... wonder if that's really possible.

Re: Want to Scream at MIL!!
oh my.
Not acceptable. I would never be able to look that woman in the face again. Sounds like removing yourself from that "situation" (ie: her) is the best thing for you, and your marriage.
I'm sorry she said such an awful thing.
...and best wishes on your ttc journey.

A journey of building the dream.
I think screaming at her is warranted in this case. Maybe even punching her. I'm so sorry she said that!

W.O.W.
I think it's official - you win the award for having the worst MIL.
oh my effing gawd. i just....don't have any other words.
what did your DH say?
Holy crap.
I would have yelled at her.
I cannot believe that. What a terrible thing to say, I'm so sorry.
Best of luck moving forward with TTC! I hope you have good news to share very soon!

So sorry.

Okay, that is seriously the worst MIL story I think I have ever heard.
So very sorry.

ya'll make me laugh... which is why I posted here. DH immediately called her and told her he couldn't believe what she said and he had no plans to move on from me ever. He and I are just kind of laughing about it... because seriously what else can we do. There is a laundry list of her being awful so cutting ties has long been in the process I think this helps. alot.

I think the word DOUCHETWAT is in order for her behavior.
let's see...
punch her in the face, call her a stupid cow, pee on her roses, egg her house, put sugar in her gas tank, order 50 pizzas to be delivered to her house (COD).
need more?
((hugs)) We've had many, many issues with my ILs, not exactly like this, but similar. I'm so very sorry that she said something so hurtful. Perhaps some time apart will help.
We had a big blowup with my ILs, and DH didn't have any contact with them for about a year. They finally talked a few times, but we didn't see them for over a year and a half. Or half of Meredith's life at that point. So far, the time apart seems to have worked wonders because it finally helped them to see (at least as far as I can tell) that their son is not going to leave me, that we have a family and a life together, and that when push comes to shove, he'll choose me over them. I hope that your MIL can figure that out if your DH is willing to cut ties with her, at least for the time being.
Many prayers, dust, and well wishes for your fertility treatments! And I sincerely hope that her brand of crazy isn't genetic.

Wow, I'm so sorry! I would be really hurt by that. That was completely uncalled for on her part. I don't blame you for cutting ties with her.
Good luck with your ttc journey. I hope it's a path you don't have to walk for very long.

I cannot believe that she wrote that! I had people say some pretty dumb sh!t to me as we were dealing with IF, but nothing that bad... I agree, you get the worst MIL award. Too bad there's not a prize.
Let me know if we are organizing a house egging expedition.
Appalling!
And just exactly what century are we in? The only male heir?? Ugh. So if you got PG with a girl, that wouldn't be good enough?
Wow. Just wow.
WTF!! Whataneffingfuckingbitch! I am so, so sorry you have to put up with that sh!t. What an excuse for a human.
...Damn. I just broke my lenten promise of trying not to be such a judgmental b!tch...
But it was worth it.
Whoa! I don't even know what to say about that.
You definitely win for the worst MIL.
this!
First, SUPER HUGS for both of you!
Second, OMG. Unbelievable. Wow.
Third, totally cut ties. That wasn't just incredibly hurtful to you, but also to her own son. Who is that awful to their own children? You don't need her and your future children don't need her either. Her loss.
This.
I'm so sorry she's so awful.
