Re: whats the most annoying thing your MIL has said?
I will never understand why people like to harp on their MILs so much on here.
My own family annoys me waay more than my ILs do.
Really Classy MIL you got yourself there. lol.
Although, mine refers to her dog as my husband's brother. (she calls him number 2 son) and constantly forgets my husband's birthday, etc. She is more concerned about that damn dog than her own kids and grandkids. My husband's sister has two kids which they rarely see and they live just down the street.
my MIL constantly refers to DH & my child as "ours" and it drives me f-ing nuts!
If you had one of the crazies, you'd understand!
I think the thing that annoyed me most was how she keeps saying to me and others when I'm around that she only gained 7lbs with her first kid and 8lbs with her second and they both weighed that much. I'm sorry to me that is just not healthy.
Oh and I can't forget, when we were picking out names before we knew we were having a boy, we told them that if it was a girl we wanted to name her Gabriella Elizabeth. She told me "I hope its a boy because I really hate that name" Really?? Too f'n bad its MY kid not yours.
Then her saying how she is going to be here ALL the time to hold MY baby. I don't think so. Pretty sure I'm going to want to hold my own kid and not have her pretend its her little boy all the time.
She bugs me if you can't tell lol I used to be tolerant of her but ever since I've been pregnant my patience has gone out the window.
You are very lucky.
Here are two, 3XL moo moos for you to wear.
I am still trying to find a polite way to say F Off re the moo moos.
She hasn't ever said it since and is an amazing "Nonna" (as our kids call her). But I just had to throw that one in there. She's done plenty to annoy me, but who hasn't? I'm thankful to have her in my life and my kids' life, when my own family is not.
MIL has a friend with a granddaughter in the NICU- born a few weeks early, no complications. She has gone with her friend to visit said baby.
She keeps referring to it as the 'baby prison' and keeps saying she hopes I dont let 'our' baby go there.

Well, they are all wrinkly and ugly when they come out....ha.
Anywho, My ILs are great and I have no complaints.

I am wearing a muu muu right now;) Seriously comfortable, and no one is home but the dog to see.
The most annoying thing MIL has said to me is 'hello'...she just annoys me in general.
More like what she didn't say... she wasn't talking to us after our wedding and my mom passed away, so MIL pretended she never knew about my mom's passing (and never offered her condolences).
As for an annoying thing she did say - she gave me a blanket at the baby shower that said "beautiful baby boy" when I was having a girl. She said she bought it b/c she liked it and maybe I'd have a boy next time. Yea thanks. Who said I was even going to have another baby, and who said I wanted/was going to have a boy? Ugh.

holy crap! both of those are just AWFUL! i cant believe that !
It's what she doesn't say to me. If she has a problem with me she'll make DH's sister call him and complain about her current problem of the week. She dropped off a baby outfit on Saturday afternoon, and because I hadn't called her by Sunday morning to thank her for the outfit DH was already getting calls about me. Seriously??? She just looks for things to complain about.
My MIL is drama, and controling (we get along fine) and she lives a couple hours away. My mom live in MN and i live in CA. Well of course they are both coming down for the birth. MIL already asked to stay with us and i planned on having my mom stay with us too.
I already told DH that my mom lives in MN so she planned on getting as much time as she can with LO. Dh said well you see your mom just as much as i do. MADE ME MAD! I told him well my mom lives OUT OF STATE!!!
I hope that this doesnt turn into a situation.
My MIL does this. Has my SIL call and tell DH when she is upset with him mostly but sometimes me.
I've posted before but the latest thing is that MIL said she better not be excluded from this baby's birth like she was when my DS was born...
DS was born at 27 weeks and had to go to the NICU.... no one but me and DH could see him due to cold flu restrictions (not to mention MIL had shingles).. I held DS for the first time when he was 13 days old.... but MIL said I purposely left her out of the situation and never let her form a bond with DS.
The first time I met my MIL, she called me a rich, ignorant racist from a rich, ignorant racist family after I said living in North Philly near Temple Hospital was unsafe. It is unsafe-- DH had an apt. in that area when we first started dating, and, to the very least of all our scary stories, we heard gunshots at night! MIL had never even met my family, either. Needless to add, my family is the most open, loving, understanding group of middle class people I have ever known... not rich OR racist OR ignorant.
It was not a good moment... I just started crying instantly (I was a sophomore in college-- I had no idea what to say!). Over 5 years later, things are much better now, but sheesh, she is a hard one to please, and she assumes things that are so off base all the time. Her original commentary is sort of the least of my and DH's issues with her now.
But yeah, that is the worst thing she ever said to me!

BFP #3: 03/24/12: C/P 03/28/12
BFP #4: 04/26/12: please be our baby
Good lord, that's just evil.
b/c you are one of the lucky ones to have IL's that aren't annoying. My MIL use to annoy me b/c she was attached to my hubbys umbilical cord.. but i have since cut it and she's not so bad. But i can see the frusturation w/ many -it's not easy to get along w/ someone elses mother / father.. those that do -are sooooo lucky!
lately, my mother annoys me way more too..
Oh she's said plenty but as of yesterday at my shower she told me and my mom(who hosted the shower) that it was boring and no one wanted to play any of my silly games. Also told me to start opening my gifts so everyone could just go home because no one on my husband's side wanted to be there.
Sorry my baby shower was such a snooze fest for you all.
"Well I hope the Baby comes over to our house"
- My thoughts "WTF, we live 2 miles away why wouldn't the baby ever come over to your house?!"
And after we specifically tell people we will not be calling the Baby by his name until he is here she say, "Oh and then when Brogan...uhh...I mean the Baby gets here..."
She hurry ups and changes Brogan to Baby and then makes me look like the pyscho one.
We've been in the process of moving since the 19th, and needed help painting and packing...she had previously volunteered to help if we needed it, so my DH called her to see if they could come last Saturday. She told him that she'd forgotten she'd already made plans to go to a food festival. I was stunned...which is more important? A food festival, or helping your son and his pregnant wife with packing, painting and cleaning? Then, this past weekend, she actually comes to help (said she'd be over around 10am..we'd been up since 7am), but didn't wake up until 11am and at 5pm said "Okay, I'm tired and I'm going home." It annoyed the crap out of me...yes, I appreciated her helping as long as she did...but SHE was tired? I didn't stop until almost 11pm that night.
As far as baby-related stuff, she told us we couldn't name our baby Layla if it was a girl because...her co-worker has a one year old granddaughter with the same name. Do we know her? No. Will we ever see her? No.
Here's my latest annoyance. We went over to their house last night just to visit and when we were leaving she said she was going to start checking in with me everyday to see if I feel any "tinges" of labor coming on. I just looked at her and said don't worry, we will make sure you are the first person we call. Like we wouldn't call her when we have the baby and if we decided not to it would be for a personal reason... I hope her annoying me makes me a better MIL when my children are married!
This thread is priceless!
No specific things said by my ILs yet. It's their general behavior that bothers me so much more than their words. My FIL uses his medical degree as an excuse to cover up the fact that he's a dirty old man who is basically just oogling all the time. Gross! MIL is always looking for something to complain about. We've scratched several name options just because of HER anticipated reactions. Why should we care? Oh well, as long as our baby is happy and healthy.
I love my MIL but she doesn't really embrace being a grandmother at all.
She won't go by grandma is either language we speak. She has created a nickname (sounds like a poodle's name to me).
She bought a car seat for a 4 year old- actually a booster seat -and thinks it is perfectly safe to put an 18 month old baby (SIL's kid) while she drives around town in a convertible. The other car seats are too "bulky"
She still thinks breast feeding is disgusting and it will ruin my boobs and ruin my sex life because they will sag after I am done! She doesn't understand how it is beneficial for the baby when her kids and SIL's kid are just fine and they were formula feed. She has actually told me "It is for the poor people to do" - what era are we living in seriously?
