stupid things my MIL says
My MIL says the dumbest things sometimes. When my DL told her we were pregnant she told me, "Congratulations, but you'll probably miscarry because you were taking birth control before you started to try to get pregnant." And then the other day she comes over and puts her hand on my belly and says, "Is that a pooch or is that just chocolate cake?"
And I do NOT get along with this woman so the passive aggressive BS pisses me off even more.
Ugh!
Anyone else out there having MIL issues?

Re: stupid things my MIL says
My FI knows how she is and just ignores her lol but I can't do that. She really is a nice lady and love her but sometimes she does say things that I just want to slap her for saying!!
Ugh me too. But when we told our parents my mother in law actually screamed and hugged me she was so excited. I was 100 weirded out. She also screamed that she will be retiring when it's born so she can watch the baby for us on days I have to work... Oy.
me too! although my MIL is pretty laid back, so I think we'd still get along even if we lived in the same state.
I do enjoy hearing about the crazies though.
Oh here's a quick story for ya:
Back when my fiance first starting dating a billion years ago, I had to go back to Atlanta to get some of my things (I had recently moved back home from there and most of my belongings were still in ATL). My fiance (then boyfriend) was coming with. His mother freaked out and told him not to go with me because I was going to use him to smuggle back a cartel of heroin, because she watched something on the news about people smuggling heroin. This is a true story. This is the kind of crazy I deal with.
My MIL got detained by TSA trying to enter the terminal at Denver airport last year because she 'forgot' that her loaded handgun was in her laptop bag... I feel you on the cray-cray.
HAHAHhah I'm dying. I can't even.
Mine immediately asked if I was going to breast feed when I told her I was pregnant. I told her I was going to try for a year and she said that wouldn't happen.
She also said she did not gain any weight with her sons. And that she willed away nausea and m/s with her youngest and I should try that.
She normally does get on my nerves, but we have been fine since we told her I was pregnant. I guess we are both making an effort.

For the most part we get along, but her comments are starting to get to me. Apparently, it's silly that I've completely given up certain foods that she and my SIL didn't. She also rolled her eyes when I brought up my doctor's and every medical book's recommendations on plane travel. As long as she doesn't expect me to accept her opinions over medical recommendations, we'll be fine. It took a year to get a BFP, so I don't have a problem informing her that my decisions for the baby's welfare are up to me and DH.
Ugh. My SIL said, "I hope it's not a Virgo!" I told her it'll probably be a Libra unless I go early, but that it doesn't matter as long as it's healthy and happy. Sheesh, some people!
What the helll...
Me and my mother in law get along great. I think that's because she doesn't have that "you took my baby" feeling a lot of moms have. I really brought out the better person in him and we all know it.
For whatever strange reason, I love MIL horror stories. And I don't really have a huge problem with mine. SMIL (who raised DH and he calls her Mom) lives in another state and they can't afford to visit.
MIL lives in town, but DH has rare contact with her (mainly holidays). She abandoned him when he was a baby. She can be a bit melodramatic, but nothing horrific.
She threw a fit at our rehearsal dinner because DH clarified when she introduced herself as his Mom (he calls her by her first name) and his stepmom got uncomfortable and introduced herself also as his Mom (which confused those of my family not in the know).
She freaked DH out (who is such an anxious and worried guy to begin with) when DS was a newborn telling him how when he was a newborn he quit breathing and blah, blah, blah. He could hardly sleep!!
She also told BIL that she was mad at us because when DS was born we weren't calling to invite her over everyday. Umm, we didn't call anyone! Everyone who wanted to visit called US!
THIS is my SIL! Stupid things make her flip out. She defriended me on FB bc I didn't immediately remove her soon to be ex husband off my list. I've never defriended anyone, soo stupid. We've never confronted her bc we don't want to get caught up in her nonsense but DH and I have to roll our eyes when she visits with us and logs into FB or talks to us about stuff on FB. Good grief!

I totally understand MIL drama. She is passive aggressive, judgmental, and she is just plain mean.
Please feel free to vent here anytime. I will empathize with you.

Yup and EVERYTHING has to be about her.
Do we have the same MIL?
