Really??? (FIL vent)

JakesBride07 · January 2011

So I haven't talked to the IL's all week except for when I called Monday and MIL blew me off and Weds when she insisted I call IMMEDIATLY after our appt.

Well I am on FB and posted "Hoping for good news tomorrow, long day ahead."

(Second opinion appt at Center for Fetal Care at specialty hospital)

AND low and behold FIL messages me and asks "What's tomorrow?"

Seriously? One you can't pick up the dayum phone and two you clearly have not paid attention either that or MIL failed to pass on some information. I really feel like if you want to know things the phone works both ways, it's just as easy for them to check in with us.

Annoying. I've blocked MIL from commenting on any post or my wall to prevent dumb antics...

. Keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow. Hoping for great and greater news!!!

Why do you have to keep them in the loop so much??? It seems that by keeping them in the loop you are just aiding them in driving you crazy. I would start limiting some info if they are driving you crazy, which it seems they are.

I'm so sorry. That is so frustrating. I'm sure you could use all of the support you can get with what you are going though.. .and they just don't seem to be helping.

Mainly because of DH. I didn't send the FB message directly to him. And even if I didn't keep them in the loop, they would still drive me crazy...my MIL is the one who got past security by telling them I was in labor when DH flat out told her she was not to come to the hospital the night they found out I had broke my water.

Well so much for that idea. I forgot your MIL is houdini. I feel so bad that you are in this situation it just can't be good for you with all the other stress you are under. Try to hang in there and just ignore them as much as possible.

I am just so glad they think that I feel up to explaining everything after a long doctor's appt. I don't think they get the point that for someone on bedrest, the effort to going to these appointments is exhausting, when I am done I want to come home and go to sleep for a while. Not spend hours on the phone (especially not when I called one day just to talk and MIL brushed me off.)

And if DH calls and tries to fill them in, they insist on talking to me because they don't think he understands...which is annoying because DH gets it a lot more then they give him credit for. But I won't even go there...
