Crap my Father in law says

in 3rd Trimester

So my husband gets home from work today and tells me he talked to his dad today. This man come up with some whoppers so you never know what will come out of his mouth. He always thinks he is right about everything and he is usually wrong about everything. Well the long and short of it is that he told my husband that since I have gestational diabetes that if baby is allowed to go to full term she will die. Not might, could, or increase complications but "will" (not that ant of that is really true either, but will)  NO kidding, I swear he told him that. I'm glad my husband is smart enough to know better then to listen to such bull. I swear I think this man pulls stuff out of his butt for kicks.

    wow!  I guess my 5 year old who was born at 39.5 weeks at a healthy 7lbs 15oz was a miracle! 

    I had GD and was even taking around 100 units of Insulin per day! 

    In-laws... so fun!

    I'm telling you, having seen an infant more than five times in your life, now qualifies you to give expert medical advice. Or so people seem to think LOL.

    That sounds like something my FIL would say.  We're living with him (helping him out since he refuses to live within his means) and he comes up with crazy crap all the time.  I think my favorite is when he fell asleep during one history channel program and woke up during another and mashed them together to say this:  there is a land bridge from Asia to Australia.  Um, no.

    I told SIL about having GD and she totally made it sound like a) LO could really die if I do just one thing wrong and b) that I have GD because I was overweight.  Ok, I'm overweight because I have PCOS and actually lost 20 pounds before BFP because I wasn't working and finally had some time to eat right and excercise.  Oh, and I have GD because of PCOS, and my mother was borderline (though who knows what that meant in the 1980s).  SIL works as a medical biller at our doctors office and therefore knows everything about medicine.  And she's 40 with an 18 year old who cuts himself and has tried to commit suicide and a 16 year old who thank god is on birth control.  But yes, she can give medical advice and I'm sure in the near future parenting advice.  There's no way anything to do with infants may have changed in the last 16 years right?  And there's no way she who has no degree whatsoever and hasn't read a book since 1992 would not be qualified to comment on my medical complications, right?

    My MIL sounds like a perfect match for your FIL! She asked the other day if DH would be in the delivery room... I told her yes and it will only be the 2 of us in there... So she continues with oh, he should be good, he has seen animals born before... Really??? Are you seriously comparing the birth of our child to a flipping farm animal!!!! DH was so upset when I told him she said this, and to top it off, he said he has never seen an animal be born! wth?? ughhhh in laws! Even better when they have no filter & know it all!! ;-)
