She stole my thunder...again

jessi1102 · September 2014

My MIL announced to everyone that we are expecting. This is the second time she has taken this joy from me. I called her out about it and told her that I didn't appreciate what she did. Later, I received a text from SIL stating that I owed my MIL an apology for upsetting her-that I was rude and disrespectful.

janda426 · September 2014

She's done this before? Why did you tell her again before you were ready to let people know? Sucks that she did that but fool me once....

chucktgirl · September 2014

Ugh. This kind of thing irritates me. What is wrong with people?! She owes YOU the apology. And even if she did apologize, it cannot be fixed. You cannot get back the experience of telling your family yourself. I think it's selfish and thoughtless of her, regardless of good intentions. Good intentions do not excuse rudeness. I'm sorry. I hope you get to reveal the sex when you're ready. And make sure MIL is the last to know... just in case.

My husband is required to keep the boundaries I put in place with my MIL. It is non-negotiable. I am his wife. He supports me first. He has no issue with this and does a great job. Plus, coming from (his) religious perspective, there is biblical backing to supporting your spouse over your parents. Boundaries were something we covered early in our relationship, because they're very important to me. So I'm with @saucylittlemonkeygirl‌ - what is your husband doing to help/support?

@etoille‌
OMG cheese and crackers. I know what my afternoon snack is gonna be today!

janda426 · September 2014

Sausage, cheese and crackers. I'd fuck that up right now.

You forgot YumYum pickles!

But Best Maid pickles take the cake. Made right here in the great state of Texas!

ciaobellat · September 2014

You do not need to apologize to your MIL!! That is beyond rude and for her to do this a second time, she seems like someone who constantly needs attention, especially with your SIL telling you to apologize. You husband needs to step in and explain to his family to back off and explain what they both did was wrong!

I don't know if we have merkts here in Idaho. But I'm going to check! We do have a lot of great fresh cheese ranging from cow to sheep to goat at our local farmers market.

kcbizme · September 2014

I love how this was almost instantly turned into a food thread. Thanks TB, now I'm hungry again!

cafecreme · September 2014

What an AW. It's your baby, NOT hers. You don't owe anyone an apology. She owes you one, twice over.

Also, your SIL sounds like a real peach. Ugh.

Whitfry · September 2014

Deprived of their prey, the M15 ladies resort to food fantasies in order to sate their internal haggard trolliness.

cafecreme · September 2014

All I saw was cheese. Now I want a grilled cheese and cheddar broccoli soup from Panera. I have a gift card so maybe I'll go by there tonight for dinner. Score!

Mmm, cheese. I'm going to this amazing Lebanese place tonight, very authentic/home-cooked style food. There will be cheesy flatbread. Three hours away.

cafecreme · September 2014

I hereby decree that:

Eat ALL THE CHEEEEESSSSEEE!

WinningColors · September 2014

Dinner decision just made - mac and cheese. Thanks ladies!

stine28 · September 2014

My killer headache is making me feel so nauseous that I'm barely keeping down my tomato soup. But now I wish I had a grilled cheese to barely keep down too. :S

Joon+ · September 2014

THERE IS NO CHEESE IN MY HOUSE. I don't know how this happened but, as I'm sure you can all appreciate, this is a crisis situation and I am panicking. I texted DH code orange. If he doesn't turn up with cheese after work, I am not responsible for my actions.

jnowosielski · September 2014

Am I late for the cheese party? I am for sure going to Panera tonight thanks to @cafecreme.

Fuck. Is there anyone who lives near Joon to bring her cheese stat? I have some white cheedar in my fridge that I've been munching on. And mini cupcakes. But, they're all gone now.

mandi195 · September 2014

I'm pretty sure I got constipated simply from reading this thread... or maybe it was the fried cheese curds I had for lunch...

marissalucia · September 2014

You do not owe ANYONE an apology. I'm in the same boat actually. This will be our first child, both for me and my SO. I've had so many health issues, my drs would tell me I would never have children. Then last year I got pregnant but ended up miscarrying. This time around I am 16 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and we are excited but also nervous something may happen. We told my BFs one sister, because he gets along with her. He told her specifically not to tell anyone. We found out yesterday she told his entire family. Including his mother who lives in Florida who will be visiting this week. We planned to give her the news of her 8th grandchild together and hold off on the sex until he was born, but now 20+ people in his family know we're having a baby and that it's a boy. Oh and did I mention our families are friendly and see each other atleast 1-2x a week. That means my family will probably find out too. We are both really upset and disappointed that we won't get the experience of sharing the news with our families, especially since this will be our first child. I completely feel your pain and please don't apologize to anyone!!! If anyone should apologize, it's your MIL. She took away a special moment for you. I learned my lesson and will never tell his sister anything like this again. It's sad but she did this to herself.

Edit: I hit the "post" button by accident...I'm so frustrated haha

@cafecreme‌ I had broccoli cheddar soup from panera for lunch....in a bread bowl. definitely go get some! $:\$ ">

Has anyone ever heard of The Melting Pot?

It's a fondue restaurant, and they have like 5 different cheese fondue's to choose from for your main course.

Putting this out there for my cheese and chocolate lovers, because they have a chocolate fondue for dessert too. https://www.meltingpot.com/our-menu/cheese-fondue.aspx

bdazzld · September 2014

I would not have told her until the MOMENT before I told everyone else. I'm sorry

kcbizme · September 2014

@cafecreme OMG The Melting Pot! We went there with my parents a few months ago. It was fantastic!

I'm so hungry right now!!!

In my desk (work) I have Nacho Cheese Doritos, Cheetoes Puffs, White Cheddar Halloween Cheetoes, Ruffles Sour Cream and Cheddar.....

and in the fridge (work) I have Babybel mini cheeses and cheddar cheese sticks/snacks.

ALL.THE.CHEESE.

I didn't think there was anyone else out there who loved powdered cheese flavoring as much as I do. I was wrong.

White Cheddar Halloween Cheeto's did you say? Are they good? I love the White Cheddar Cheez-Its something fierce...

OMG I *heart* the crap outta the Melting Pot. I was thinking I may need to go there for my birthday. And BONUS! It'll be like half price this time. We normally spend about $50 each on dinner and another $50 each on their mojitos.

Oh and today I had Annie's White Cheddar Mac n' Cheese for lunch and a snack of English white cheddar & honeycrisp apples.

I feel like I should have a cheesetastic dinner, as well. It has been decided.

And now I know where I'm going for my birthday dinner. Their caramel raspberry iced tea is delicious too

Whitfry · September 2014

THE NEAREST PANERA IS 8 HOURS AWAY IN SEATTLE. *breaks down into gross sobs*

But we do have a gourmet grilled cheese place in town. Wonder if the hubs would be down for some heart failure tonight.

FrecklesInside · September 2014

Stop with the evil cheese porn!!!!

To OP sounds like you need to put your foot down in this relationship with your ILs and have a conversation with your H about it all. Also, I agree with the shame on you sentiment - why the hell did you tell her before others? She lost that privilege.

You just won the internet.

I'd like to thank my mom for being the first person to introduce me to cheese. My DH for knocking me up so i could indulge in cheese 24/7. And last but not least my haggard trolls for sharing in the cheese obsession.

kcbizme · September 2014

I came home fully expecting my leftover extra cheese pizza for dinner, only to find my SO threw it away. I actually teared up unintentionally! I was so looking forward to that damn pizza!

Edited bc words really suck today.

Joon+ · September 2014

*Phew* Thank goodness I resolved my cheese crisis before the gifs started coming... That would have been physically painful. Mmm... Applewood smoked cheddar

cesquer · September 2014

Mmmm. I had lasagna with tons of melted cheese tonight. Thank u ladies!

Melting pot is good but $ for value I have an issue with generally speaking.

Plus the VP I used to support had DH and I over to their house for dinner last winter and she makes some sort of traditional swedish fondue that is OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD.

Kind of ruined me.

Now I want it.
(

^This. I love Melting Pot but only go occasionally since it's a little pricey.

You can find a lot of Melting Pot copy cat recipes online.

rm2013 · September 2014

I hope I don't get banned for not being interested in cheese....

@megaugust10‌ I feel the same as others, no you don't owe anybody an apology. Sorry you're disappointed but you shouldn't have trusted her a second time. It does suck that you still won't get your big reveal.
