  So my mom calls me today and basically says she doesn't think I'm mature enough to have a baby and I should have rethought this entire thing! I don't even have words for how pissed I am!

  And her point becomes valid, when? She does realize how immature that ish sounds, right?

  So you're supposed to do what to remedy the situation?  Spontaneously reabsorb your baby at almost 30 weeks pregnant?  Go to a hospital with a good return policy?

  I hear you on mom issues. I'm sorry that happened. Hopefully you have supportive friends and other family members that can help you to know that this isn't true.

  What the what?! I can't believe she'd say that to you. This is the same woman who's been buying you totally useless baby items all this time, right? And she is calling YOU immature? I'm sorry, that sucks.

  What a bitchy attitude. Not that your mom is a bitch, or I would call her that. But she's totally a bitch.

  Tell her you have rethought it and have determined that in fact she is too bitchy to be a grandmother.

  Um....what does she want you to do about it NOW?! I say tell her if she isn't going to be supportive to mind her own business. And also she is too bitchy to be a grandmother.

  He's cut off. This one wasn't funny. Tell him to stick to bodily functions.

  Hey, at least we didn't sniff out that it was DH, that was pretty impressive.
  
  With Kevin we are all like "Kevin!"

  My mom basically said the same to me before I had my son. I think she meant it as a joke but it was hurtful. She also said she didn't think I would breastfeed because I was "too vain about my boobs." Um, maybe at 18. Ten years ago. She always thinks of me as a selfish teenager in her head. Nevermind that we are self supporting adults now who have been married five years. It was after my son's first year that she was like "wow you guys are good parents." Shocker!!!

  Moms are fantastic, aren't they?! Mine came to visit my new apartment (we moved from a walk up with roaches to a new elevator building with a doorman) and said it was a completely unsuitable place to raise a child. Thanks mom, want to help me get out of the lease? She also said my husband and I would fight, and I'd be lonely, once the baby was born. No solutions offered.

  
  

  I suppose all we can do is resolve to be better moms ourselves?
