NBR - whine on my MIL

MrsBalletStar05

She just sent us all a random e-mail asking us if we drink anything diet or with artificial sweetener.  That's all it asked.  I KNOW that if I reply, "yes". she will be all, "did you know it's terrible for you???"

She just frustrates me because she is so naive and is like, the last to board the train.  I have heard for a looooong time how it's bad for you, blah blah blah.  My MIL always does this though, She tells us stuff that I ALREADY KNOW!!!  And sometimes I feel like saying, "Why are you 50-something years old and just now finding out about___________?"  She is so oblivious about the world around her, seriously.  

I know, I know, I know - she is just being nice and looking out for us.  :-/

Also, I kind of feel like I'm an adult and I don't need your random advice on stuff!  I can figure it out on my own, I promise!  She and my SIL are the same in that if someone tells them something THEY WILL BELIEVE IT!!!  Make up your own damn minds about different issues.  Don't go with what someone says just because they said it!  

Whatever my MIL says or doesn't say.....guess what?  I'm still going to drink my artificial sweetener at times.  She's not changing my mind.

That is totally annoying... my mom is like that too.

 Just thought I'd let you know my OB told me that artificial sweeteners are "not recommended" during pregnancy. I went most of my pregnancy without using them but since I'm so close I've started using them sparingly again. As I type this I'm enjoying a glass of crystal light LOL
