I already posted about this in the Monday ticker change thread, but it’s still an issue so here goes....

My MIL. She’s furious with DH and I right now because we’re not driving down to see her for Christmas. She lives in another state, about 8 hours away. We alternate our holidays with family to split the time up evenly, and this year was Thanksgiving with my family, and supposed to be Christmas with her. Well, we haven’t had the smoothest pregnancy this time around and have had lots of testing, ultrasounds, and other things done that he last couple of months. She came to visit us in October and she herself told us that we don’t need to feel obligated to come for Christmas and it would be totally okay if we didn’t. Now the time has come and we’ve decided not to go, she has completely flipped her lid. My doctor has said that he doesn’t really want me traveling that far after 32 weeks, and I will be 31 at Christmas. We just feel like that’s cutting it close and with everything that has been going on with this pregnancy we would like to play it safe. She said some pretty rude things to DH over the phone on Saturday & it has been ridiculous. She is not understanding at all and it’s very, very frustrating. DH hasn’t talked to her since their argument and I’m not sure when he will. Anyone else having family drama right now?!

@hollyk224 that whole situation is absolutely ridiculous and my one piece of unsolicited advice is to use this opportunity to discuss with YH how you want to handle holidays in the future... because next year you may not want to drive 8+ hours with a screaming, teething baby. My ILs have been equally ridiculous about holidays and expectations and offering us an out and then losing their crap when we take it. It’s a crappy, stressful situation for a couple to deal with, and when you add pregnancy/hormones/children in the mix it’s even worse. Hugs.

AFM, we took DS to meet Santa Cow at Chick-fil-A tonight... it’s family night. So I’m sitting at the table, Chick-fil-A is doing story time for all the kids and MH and DS are playing in the play place. Obviously the place is pretty full of families and the various things they leave behind when they go to listen to story time. Some a$$hat starts making a huge deal because all the tables are taken and “no one is even sitting at them. They’ve left half eaten food, diaper bags and jackets everywhere. I demand you clear me a table. Oh and I want to speak to a manager.” Dude. You have teens with you. I assume they once used to be kids and you may have to try really hard to remember what that’s like? Also, I have never gone to a fast food restaurant and been angry that there weren’t any seats. If I haven’t found one in 5-10 minutes, I just ask for a bag and either eat in my car or drive home. It’s family night. There’s families with kids, including the poor manager and his family and kids, enjoying the free entertainment that a local business advertised and provided. And it’s Christmas. What’s your deal?

@hollyk224 WOW. What a huge TW your MIL is. I can't even with her. For her to say it was fine not to come in October and now to lose her ever loving mind when you decide not to come, knowing the issues you have had, is super childish. I say blame it on your doctor - he may have said no traveling after 32 weeks, but tell her he said no travel as of now. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this...do what is best for you and your LO and do not stress about this - last thing you need is high BP on top of everything else!! Take care!!!

hollyk224 · December 2017

@mdfarmchick & @amylonghorn, thank you! I am super grateful that my husband is the type to stand up to her and take my side, so I don’t have to worry about that. I just hate drama and confrontation. She even had the nerve to tell him that she’s never heard of a doctor telling a pregnant woman that she can’t travel at 7 months pregnant. That REALLY ticked me off, because it’s like she was accusing me of lying. I nearly took the phone away from him and about gave her my doctor’s phone number, lol. Glad I can vent about it here!

kalawa · December 2017

@hollyk224 Don't even let someone like that bother you. Being called a "liar", even though indirect, is cause for dismissal from my life until apologized to. She clearly just wants to make you feel horrible. Because having a rough pregnancy isn't awful enough for you. I'm glad your H has your back. And to say mean things to your son over the issue is ridiculous. She sounds like a walking PSA on how NOT to treat people. Feel better, and make some new traditions with your H!

ETA spelling...

Thanks @kalawa!

ShawnnaO · December 2017

@hollyk224 my jaw actually dropped at her insinuating you’re a liar. We’re in a similar situation with my mother in law right now and honestly we both just decided that until she apologizes for being hurtful, she isn’t apart of our lives and she’ll get no updates on her grandchildren. I think in some situations, that’s all you can do

Not Tuesday, but I gotta get this out somewhere. My son's father is...my son is old enough to get a little job. He basically refuses to do chores or babysit, so my husband and I said we aren't just hanging him money and he can work for extra cash. Well, my son was kind of excited about getting a job with his friends and having extra cash. He told his father and his dad got irrate. He tried to explain to his Dad that we were not forcing him, but this is what he wanted. His Dad told him that he thinks he might want a job, but that is only because we are brainwashing him into wanting one. Apparently, you can brainwash your kids into being productive members of society. Wow, I don't know WTF is going on with his dad lately, but never in my life would I have thought his Dad would spew such toxic bullshit at his son.

mdfarmchick · December 2017

@DDRRT1982 how dare you teach your son responsibility?!

stlbuckeye132 · December 2017

@DDRRT1982 wait, he's mad his son is going to be a productive member of society?

Yep, I am also proudly going to brainwashing all my kids into working hard for good grades, participating in extra curricular activities, and having morals.

Edit spelling

DH is being a TW today-I have to go see a hematologist today at 3, something I reminded him about yesterday. I also reminded him this morning that we won't be able to talk during my lunch at work because I won't be taking a lunch since I'm leaving at 2:30. So he text's me "lunch?" like he always does and I calmly remind him I'm not taking a lunch. He starts going into "why? you legally have to" etc etc and I once again remind him that I'm leaving early and we had this discussion yesterday. Then (since he couldn't bitch about that) he says "we never see each other and this is why". I told him I'll actually be home earlier bc I'm not going back to work after my appointment so how is that a bad thing that I'll be home earlier? He said he'll either be sleeping (he works night shift) or the kids will be up. When I get home the kids should be napping but he said they never nap for him when he tries to put them down. So I said "I'll put them down for a nap they always nap for me!" to which he had no response.

The annoying thing is that he obviously doesn't pay attention to me because all of his above bitches were things that we had already discussed and he was obviously just in a pissy mood for some reason and trying to take it out on me but I didn't let him. I think I might get Taco Bell on the way home and not get him any, just to spite him (he loves Taco Bell and there isn't one close by but there's one close to the dr's office I'm going to )
