my first IL vent

I love my in-laws and never planned to be a MIL vent poster, but I can't help it.  I'm so annoyed right now! 

My Bday was yesterday. I had a half day at work because I had a Dr appt in the afternoon. It was likely my last day in the office until after leave (yay!) Hubby and I did lunch, had a good appointment (although not much more progress.) Then my parents came down and took us out to dinner.  I got a cake, flowers, a new bag... it was such a nice day. Well thank gawd!!!

I woke up this morning to my MIL calling to ask what I want for dinner. She wants to do a Bday dinner for me tonight, but hadn't planned anything because "the baby should be here by now!"  Well, he's not.  So make whatever you want for dinner and I'll graciously come join you for a family bday dinner.  THEN she's talking to hubby on the phone and asks what I want for my Bday.  Well, nothing. I don't have a Bday list like when I was 10. Hubby had asked me for weeks before my Bday and I didn't even tell him anything.  So she says "just tell me SOMETHING or she doesn't get a gift"  WHAT?!  Listen lady, just don't friggin get me anything!!  I don't need a gift!  So hubby says maybe a giftcard for clothes or shoes?  She said she doesn't like giftcards becuase they are rude and impersonal and there's no thought behind them Indifferent (kinda like refusing to get a gift becuase I won't TELL you what to buy?!) 

So I was just getting over that whole conversation while drinking a delicious decaf latte.  I log into facebook and see that she's literally FIGHTING with my best friend about dates on the baby pool that she's running. She is more and more "mad" every day that he's not here yet.  I am already frustrated enough as it is. I have stopped replying to texts, don't plan on working next week, I just don't want the added pressure of the "when is the baby coming???" from everyone.  Now i'm DREADING this lovely birthday dinner tonight.  I hope I do go into labor so I can skip it!  LOL

 

sorry that was so long... i guess a MIL vent usually is  Tongue Tied

    Wow!  Thats a bit much!  That is incredibly rude that she said tell me something or you get nothing!  urgh!  People are frustrating!  I hate the arguing and telling you when the baby is going to come....  saying any date will not magically make the baby come that day....  if it happens to it will be a fluke....  it will not make LO come any sooner!  URGH... I'm sorry you have to deal with this!!!  At least you had a nice dinner and date with your family and your hubby yesterday!!!!  Hope it goes better than expected tonight!

    Family members get so weird when you get close to your EDD and haven't had the baby. You want to shake them and be like "Don't you think I want LO to be here too!! Chill out!"

    Just a warning.  I was never an "IL venter" until my first was born... babies change EVERYTHING.  Now she drives me nuts and it's all I can do to bite my tongue :(  I hope your story is different than ours...
