Between Max having a chest cold and being a different time zone, I am late to the bump party, but I had to tell you that you are a saint. Holy cow your MIL sounds legitimately insane and I would have literally smacked her upside the head when she made the let down comment. You must be a saint.
Oh and Violet is a doll!

Re: OBH
Hey! I am sorry to hear that Max is not feeling well! He is too adorable to be under the weather, you know!
I hope he gets better and soon! And while I am no saint, it truly is a wonder how I have yet to verbally biiitchslap MIL. Thank you. I wish there was something I could say or do to make her shut up. I just do not get how some people can't just NOT say something.
Thank you (about V.)
P.S. My MIL is also a teacher (7th grade) You would think she wouldn't be so BSC, but unfortunately, that is not the case!
