what the eff mil?

uluvfranke · April 2011

My MIL made my h a nice lunch for his bday today.during lunch I felt sick and couldn't finish. I have been a bit queazy for several days. My MIL says "maybe its your milk FINALLY drying up" I explained to her it was just fine. Nattie has a bit of a rash on her arm we are watching and my MIL says "maybe she has gained an allergy to your milk.you should stop and see" WTF.seriously. I'm about to lose it. I'm considering bfing til Nattie is like ten just to piss her off.

People are rediculous! Your daughter is only 5 1/2 months old, for crying out loud!

christine_marie · April 2011

Wow what is that woman's problem?!

AshtonMain · April 2011

Oh my word, your mil is crazy and your daughter is beautiful. I just love that picture of her!!

uluvfranke · April 2011

She always convinces my h that my milk has no nutrients.she needs slapping.

SimoneSays22 · April 2011

I think you have one of the worst MILs on TB. I know that's no claim to fame, but she is sincerely crazy cakes. I'm sorry Uluv.

I seriously just can't wrap my mind around this. I have a friend who's MIL bf'ed her kids til they were THREE AND A HALF, so she is flipping out on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Seriously people, just let us feed our children.

I would make a cake or some yummy dessert, and as she finishes say "See, I told you my milk was good!" And see how fast she turns green hahahah

SnoopyLuv · April 2011

I am so sorry for you. What would happen if you just went off on her? I had to do that once to my MIL about the debt issue (they put some debt in our name) and once I did she never said anything to me about it again. I screamed and told her she wasn't welcome in my presence until she apologized and never said anything about it again.

I would just come out and say "WTF is your problem with breastfeeding? Are you jealous you couldn't?"

Jesus, this makes my blood boil. Would you like me to post awesome pro bfing stuff on your facebook wall? Start commenting on all your pictures "Wow that breastmilk sure does Nattie good!" "Her skin is so clear and eyes so bright from that breastmilk" I will do it!

uluvfranke · April 2011

I'm on my phone and can't quote,but AshtonMain,thank you. SS, she is a nice woman and I love her. She is very high strung and thinks she knows best about everything. She is very possessive. It's so annoying.

LOL... Sprite almost went everywhere! I love this idea!

uluvfranke · April 2011

I should make her that cake for sure. She swears the doctor tested her milk and said there were no vitamins. I had. ti show my h online how women lose nutrients before their milk would. Snoop I really wish that would work. She is so set in her ways she wouldn't even budge.

She's non-stop, isn't she? Good grief. So sorry you're still putting up with her crap.

LOL this is GENIUS!

uluvfranke · April 2011

I honestly thinks she just wants Nattie to like her more. I think she feelsike Nattie won't be so strongly bonded to me if I bottle feed her. I guess she doesn't know that Nattie will love me more no matter what.

LordValuemart · April 2011

That's a whole load of BS, my son is FF and still a HUGE mama's boy.

KatieC06 · April 2011

I feel your pain. When I mentioned that I MIGHT wean DS at 6 months my MIL couldn't contain her glee. She even went so far as to say "Good. It's time anyway. He needs the actual nutrition that he gets from formula."

LordValuemart · April 2011

All this makes me really glad that when I had Ronan and BF'd him for 6 weeks, my future MIL basically said to me "I don't know shiit about breastfeeding, so I'm sorry I can't help you any there if you need any, but I think it's pretty cool that you're giving it a go" and when I had to switch to FF, she said "Well, I'm sorry the BFing didn't work out, but at least formula's advanced a lot since I had my kids."

uluvfranke · April 2011

Kate,I think you married my h. Haha. This woman is BSC.

J+MS · April 2011

she really is cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

Isabelle is 100% formula fed from 4 weeks old and that kid still will not go to anyone buy me or my husband without screaming.

I'm going to join snoop and go pro-BF on your FB. commencing now.

bobbyruth · April 2011

Where do these people who think breast milk has no nutrition come from? How do they think the human race survived before formula?

The only thing my MIL had ever said that has pissed me off has been about BFing. She said "O W is so skinny. Probably because she is breastfed." and something along the lines of her not wanting me when she was hungry but wanting a bottle.

I was visiting the IL and my parents without DH when this happened and I got upset with her and she apologized. I am so glad my MIL is not BSC but the breastfeeding comments are enough to piss me off. I am sorry yours is so crazy.

I've had the opposite comment (not from my MIL) but this woman at my Mom's church asked if Jane was BF or FF and I said FF and she said, "oh, that must be why she's so thin." I just rolled my eyes. D*amned if you do, d*amned if you don't. I'm not going to explain why I can't BF and no one should have to explain why they are.

What's her problem with BM? And why does she think everything is her problem? And that you want her advice/opinion?

faith194 · April 2011

Is it possible that she believes BM has no nutrients and what not due to the propaganda that was sold during her lifetime about formula(how awesome it was)? I still think she's crazy, though.

When DS had trouble latching, both my inlaws were calling and asking about if he was bfing yet. . .They were too involved in my breasts, if you ask me. When they babysat for the first time, I didn't have any bm to leave for him(he has always had formula as a supplement due to crappy supply issues). MIL exlaimed "He hates the formula. He needs your BM" Um, what? He takes formula just fine from us. He really showed no preference.

Now he is exclusively FF due to an allergy, and they have finally come to terms with that decision. However, MIL did throw the dig in yesterday "Well, I bf'd for a year. . ." Um, please stop reminding me that I'm a failure.

I really love my MIL to bits, but this BFing thing has really upset me. My boobs. My baby. My life. Thank you.

SuperThat1006 · April 2011

Seriously. Kudos to you for putting up with it.

AubBun, I love your siggy quote! Skinnamarink! Is it sad that I still know the actions and haven't seen it in about 20 years?

SpartanChick88 · April 2011

I would whip one out and squirt her - 'see? it's just fine!' But I'm kinda sick like that. I actually look forward to your MIL stories - they make mine look like slightly less of a psycho!

jenna3016 · April 2011

I think your husband needs to step up and tell MIL to stop all the comments about nursing.

My mom wanted me to quit (since I was pumping, and it was a PITA,) but I told her I was proud to be nursing my son, and to knock it off with the comments. She did stop the remarks.

Then, my production dropped, and I just couldn't keep up. I ended up quitting eventually, but it was on my terms. I still cried over it. Thankfully, mom didn't say a word.

Danalyn13 · April 2011

I just wanted to say that your daughter is absolutely precious!!! Too too cute!
