OK, Now you're just being ridiculous

rachealwebster · July 2011

I've posted several times about DH's pregnant cousin being mad at me b/c my due date is the day after hers and causing all kinds of stupid drama. But this one takes the cake.

I guess she found out from DH's mom that our a/s is the 26th and we will be finding out the sex. So she called her doctor and had hers rescheduled for the 25th so that she can find out the sex first. (Like it really makes a difference) I just hope she knows how dumb she looks. Everyone else is sitting back laughing at her for being so immature.

She is ridiculous but I think it's time to just let it go. She's wasting all this energy on an imaginary feud while you can just enjoy your pregnancy.

Wow! She's special! All I can say is ignore it and be the better person (not that it would be too hard to do).

She sounds like my cousin! I feel your pain, I think it's ridiculous too...and bothers me that someone can be so immature!

When DH and I got married we asked that no children be brought to the reception. We also arranged for a babysitter for people who couldn't find one, at a location just five minutes away from the reception venue. Many people took advantage of this, my cousin however; told me that it was completely rude that we wouldn't let her daughter come and she wasn't going to leave her with a babysitter that WE chose. (We didn't even allow for our own nieces and nephews to come, so of course I'm not going to let my cousins daughter, whom I've met once, come). She then proceeded to tell me that she wouldn't be coming to my wedding and neither would her mom and dad and brother.... much to her dismay they all came (who is she to tell them what to do) and she looked like an idiot!

I can't stand people who can't be mature about things...

She's ridiculous. You're the bigger person so just forget about her petty little things she has going on and relax and enjoy your own pregnancy.

I agree

Ditto the PPs, she is being ridiculous and you are doing everything right by not sinking to her level.

With that said, it's probably time for your H to have a talk with his mom about not sharing info on your pregnancy with this crazycakes.

Oh, this is too funny! She is AW to the extreme! Don't let yourself get sucked in to her immature tornado.

iluvmylab · July 2011

I agree, just let it go. She's obviously got issues and it's just not worth getting worked up over.

Qmommy · July 2011

That's hilarious! It sounds like you haven't been sucked in and it doesn't bother you much. It's kind of fun sitting back and watching what gets a rise out of people.

There were many times I watched my students (former special education teacher) tantrum over stupid things and be amused at how worked up they got over a broken crayon or having to wash their hands.

With that said, I wouldn't share your names with this person because it sounds like she would say "you stole my name!" just for the sake of drama.

It's definitely not bothering me! I think it's hilarious that she's trying soo hard to "beat" me, and everyone in the family is looking at her like WTF?! I don't care who has their baby first, I don't care who finds out the sex first, it doesn't change anything for me. Her being pregnant at the same time as me doesn't make me jealous of her, which is what she is really trying for! Our lack of a reaction is just p!ssing her off more.

I completely agree with PP, don't share names! I'm mean seriously, anyone with half a brain can figure out that you don't just say 'okay, she is pregnant, so body... be pregnant!" and get pregnant! Instead of relishing in the idea that you two will have children so close in age that you will hit lots of milestones together, she is taking the 'your stealing my thunder' approach. I would let it go and not get too worked up and enjoy your pregnancy even more because she is obviously not enjoying hers.

I agree with this, even though it's all really dumb I'd take away opportunities for her to try and one-up you. I can't believe someone is that insecure!

SiannaBees · July 2011

Definitely ridiculous. I agree with pp I would ask your DH to talk to his mom about sharing your info. I'd have to laugh if she goes in and the baby won't show her anything.

L8ebugs · July 2011

Ha ha, that is pretty immature. Just rise above and ignore her silly behavior - and then in your secret heart of hearts cross fingers that you're baby will be a few days early and she'll be one of those unfortunate first time moms who don't deliver until the 42 week...

Frueh · July 2011

Right, lots of other people are pregnant at the same time. She is foolishly letting your pregnancy rob her of her own joys. I'm glad you're not doing the same!!

Franchesca1208 · July 2011

What a crazy biotch! You would think she would be happy that yall are having babies together! They could be little friends( my cousin and I are 3 weeks apart but we are more like sisters!) I am due 2 weeks before DH's cousin and we are both so happy that we can go through this together! She needs to grow the hell up before she tries raising a child!
