I just needed to add this on as another string of the "is it just me?" post. It just doesn't help when your mom and MIL are both
telling you about all the friends of friends daugters or co-workers that are
pregnant again already after having a 1 year old!!! or having their 5th child already lol what the heck
moms?!! there should be a board especially for grandchildren fever and we should all send them there!!!

lol
Oh man!! as if the waiting isn't hard enough for us (us women waiting to TTC in general). We have to keep explaining why
you are waiting to the parents. Since they repeat things more than usual at this age, they forget that they asked why or tell you the stories over and over again like its all new (Sometimes I think my mom pretends she forgot she mentioned that story just to get me to be like- ok already! we're trying now!! haha). Example "you know my friends daughter had a baby around the same time you did and she is 5 months along now with her 3rd!! did you know that? some people are not waiting, they just get them all out one after the other " lol
how do you respond to this?? I've heard this line maybe 3 times from my mom already in a span of a weeks time so I know it by heart. :)  Anybody else go through this?

    My mom does that too and we haven't started trying for our first. Honestly now I just don't plan on telling her when we start trying or giving her any time line because I don't want to deal with her asking all the time, especially in case it takes a while. And every time she says something now I shush her! It drives me nuts!

    Omg ladies this is hilarious! My mum thinks I should wait another year... I'll be at least 28 before I have a baby as it is! My MIL repeats and repeats and repeats all of her stories, I hear EVERYTHING at least twice, sometimes after a few minutes haha. I do love her though. Not sure what's worse, telling you to have a baby yesterday or "another year".

    I agree with @marriedtomummy my mom has been not-so-patiently waiting for us to get pregnant since the day we got married and my MIL thinks my husband needs to be at least two years older. I get so annoyed with both of them (in my head). I'm more offended by my MIL because I feel like she thinks we're not mature enough to handle a child.

    @lalalin thats how I felt before having kids when my sister inlaws never let their kids sleep over. I just thought they didn't trust us (mind you I am now 30 years old and this was maybe a couple of years ago). The older SIL more so in particular. It annoyed the hell out of me. Her kids are 12 and 8!! one of them wanted to sleep over once and she almost said ok then last minute changed her mind and told us that her mom is watching her. This was after I promised her chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! The cool aunty that I am, I said ok no problem! :). My son has never slept over there, I never asked her to babysit and never will :) she is dying to though. She still doesn't get why I never ask for her help. I joke whever it comes up and say- well do a swap then- you send your kids and I'll send mine! Thats where the subject usually ends. I don't suggest you should do the same.. but just wanted to share ;)
