my MIL can be such a b!tch

mommajen8

for some unknown reason DH told her that we were trying. but she only thinks we have been trying for 1 month. she thinks she "funny" by telling me that my SIL and BIL are pregnant and they just told her this morning.(they arent even sure they want kids) well DH's aunt knows how long we have been trying and she was there when my MIL said this and told my MIL that was mean and that BIL &SIL are not pregnant. and then my MIL got mad at us for telling her she was mean. whatever. she really p!sses me off sometimes.

I don't know how in the world your MIL thought it was funny. WTH?

What a b!tch!

My MIL once told me, "I guess you just decided to be a career woman forever and not a mother."  No tact at all!

That's not funny at all. DH told MIL too though. I. hate. it. Why do they do that?

DH is absolutely forbidden to tell his mother.  She is a nurse (though she doesn't work with babies or pregnant women) and will attempt to force all of her "wonderful advice" on me (while, of course, smoking cigarettes and pot right in my face) about how easy it was for DH's husband to get her KTFU.  So yes, she won't be finding out, preferably until I give birth, but realistically at least not until we hit second tri.

My mother, on the other hand, knows that we are TTC.  And if she gets insensitive, I have nothing against calling her out on it.  I'm a you-know-whattie that way.

Ugh.

I am really sorry. 

It makes me feel better that I have a mom who couldn't care less if she ever had another grandchild (Jack is her one and only so far) and a MIL who is pretty good at minding her own business. ((Hugs))

Sorry for MIL being b!tchy.  That was not funny at all.  My DH is the opposite (and so is my MIL).  He doesn't tell her anything so I end up sharing.  She thinks it's great that I'm so open with her but she also keeps her thoughts and questions to herself.

 Seriously.

ugh! weird!

 

My FIL (who is actually very nice and sweet but doesn't think sometimes) was helping to watch my DD (2 yr 9 mos) and told us that she NEEDS a sibling. He DOES know I had a miscarriage last Feb. so... umm? WTF? We've been trying for 6 months, you know we WANT another.

He really is innocent and well meaning though, unlike your MIL

she is not mean, she is cruel!  there is a difference.

I agree. . . my IL don't know for this very reason! I am so sorry you have to deal with that.
