Rude things my mom said this weekend.

Thought this might make you laugh.

1. She asked what we are thinking for names. We tell her Elise for a little girl - "Ew that is so ugly. Why don't you just stick her in an old people home? I don't even want to say that name out loud."

2. Talking about how I haven't gained much weight yet "Well you are already heavy, so hopefully you can not gain and the babies will just suck the fat right off of you."

3. "Aubrey (my DD) will always be my favorite grandchild. So I can just take her for the summer while you guys take care of the other ones."

 

Luckily I don't let my mom get under my skin, so I can laugh at all of these. But how ridiculous right?

    Wow! I am at a loss for words. Good for you for not letting her get to you because I don't think I would be able to do that if my mom said those things. You're a good girl Chickie! :)

    lol... just love your post title.   glad you have such a good attitude about mom's rudeness!

    can we have a weekly thread of "annoying things my mother (or MIL) said"??

    Because you clearly have a good attitude about it, I'll tell you that I laughed out loud at these. Seriously, how outrageous.

    You know what is even funnier. Now that my mom hates Elise, DH is all the more excited to have that be her name.

    WHAT?!?  Elise is a beautiful, classic name.  My SIL is Elise and so our Mary's middle name is Elise : )

    I'm sorry, something about the wording of #2 actually made me lol... but it's a horrible thing for a mother to say!!

    #3... just WAY out of line and would have really p!ssed me off.  I'm all about equality b/w grandkids.

    OMG.  are you sure you and I are not sisters?  she sounds like my mother.  I can't stand my mother, and I can't laugh about her either.

    What is your secret??  please let me know....cause goodness knows I need to lighten up a bit.  I'm being very serious when I ask you that. I would love your advice.

    Here's one my mom said, "Who the fu*k cares what your HcG level is?"  yep, she said that on my way out the door to get a blood draw. 

    and when I miscarried, "well, back in my day we didn't have all these sono's ...hell, get over it....back then, you wouldn't even know you were pregnant at 10 weeks".  She's such a bi*ch.  I can't stand my mom.  I agree with the pp, we need a weekly thread.  How I turned out so nice and polite and careful with others feelings is a miracle.

    Wow.  I am sorry.  At least you can laugh at it.  I have been told that I don't look pregnant from behind by my brother in law.  I was happy until he added, "Yeah, you just look like you ate a few too many pastries".  REALLY?  I did laugh because I know that he didn't realize that he was calling me fat until after.

    Ugh that is all bad. Seriously, the way I deal with it is I don't get upset. I just realized that I can't control my mother or the stuff that comes out of her mouth. But I can control how I react. And since I am the one who would end up hurt and upset about stuff she says, I just  ignore it now. My mom tends to say things the completely wrong way. So some of it is just knowing that its not quite as harsh as she meant it. And if she does mean it to be mean -  then I still can't change her. So I just change my reaction. I find it mostly funny now. It is rare a comment effects me.

     I totally joke with DH all the time about how lucky we are I ended up okay and I should really have more problems.
