3rd Tri Cravings Poll

doodlemonkey22

Thought I'd start a fun thread to get our minds off this new format. What food(s) are you craving in your 3rd trimester?

With my 1st pg, I had to have ground beef. With 2nd, it was eggs. Now with this pregnancy it is Country Crock spread. I started buying the big bucket and put it on every dang thing.

Raw green beans...still.

Ice cream, in any form.

I also agree with PP's... we have a niece in the family who lives with my MIL and FIL. She is 8 and would be absolutely heartbroken if I told her she couldn't come visit our DD with them.

Sorry, I agree with everyone else, you are being selfish.  First of all, the kid lives with them.  They probably care for him more than his own parents if they are all living together.  Your kids don't require alone time with their grandparents.  Grandparents are shared.  Besides, the kid is 12 and can entertain himself.  It's not like he's a toddler that gets into everything and requires 100% of MIL/FIL attention.  Also, I'm sure if the 12yo is calling MIL/FIL the same thing your kids call them, they won't be confused about their relationship, which by the way is a stupid excuse as to why he shouldn't come with them.

A story from my own life - My 10 yo nephew pretty much lives with my mother and he goes everywhere she does, including on trips to visit me (we live in different states) if school is out.  His parents suck (yes, including my brother, who is his father), and if my mom didn't take him with her, he'd never go anywhere, have any manners whatsoever, or be doing band or baseball, or any of the other things my mom supports.  So, suck it up.  He's just a kid and your MIL had every right to be pissed.  She probably didn't need to bring up everything in the world that she feels slighted about, but so be it.

I agree. If I was your MIL, I would have been offended. You are being a little ridiculous.

And in my opinion I dont.think its a matter if choosing. I think you were a little over the top and I would l not have had this conversation via email. Choosing.the nephew would ve spending.all time with him and none with your kids. Seems as though.you put her in a choosing position. Warm regards.

I hate to say it but I agree.

Me too...

It'd be different if they didn't all live together...then i'd agree it'd be a little odd to not come w/ his parents ever...but yeah at 12 i'd want to go somewhere if people were going...perhaps they (SIL/etc) need a break? It's a different story if he is not behaved at all or something but sounds like you are being jealous.

is the nephew not on his best behavior when he comes to your house? does he need to be watched all the time? if so, then maybe i could see where you are coming from. my hubby's little brother is 10 and, while i love the kid, sometimes he's out of control and no one chastises him; it annoys the hell out of me. 

however, he's good when he comes to visit us because he loves seeing the baby, and always asks for permission to do things.

if none of these issues apply to you, then yeah, you're being ridiculous. sorry to tell ya...
