My MIL is totally indifferent -but was with every expected grandchild, so nothing new or personal involved (i dont think lol). She constantly forgets when my lil boy is due (or even that he is a boy probably) , she will say things like ''ooh isn't March going to be a busy month with another birthday?'' -I am not due until July!!

AndI know when lil one arrives, she will totally forget I have 3 other kids, and will constantly be trying to tell me what I am doing wrong lol -Earplugs please lol

xx

So i am deffenetly not alone lol. She has asked me if I will work after the baby is born and actually suggests for me to work, well I might wanna be a stay home mommy. On the other side she says "I am happy that my DH's daughter's mom is not working at the moment"
!!

She made it clear with my first two pregnancy's she was not happy however they ended in m/c. I was not surprised though since she stopped talking to us for a while when we said we was getting married and did not come to the meal we went out for after the wedding on the night. This pregnancy she did seemed indifferent at first, we was very worried about the 12 week scan since that is when we found out about the mmc the first time round and when she was told it went well she set her facebook status to " is off to quietly contemplate the days events" and had all her friends leaving messages asking what was wrong! She still has no interest and when we visit her and bring it up she refuses to talk about it and seems mad at us for bringing it up. So I would say she is not very happy about the whole thing.

I really cant understand these women! You would think that they would be happy that their sons are happy and creating their own families, but I think perhaps they are jealous?

My MIL has already said that she wants me to have a boy as girls are horrible- I just want a happy and healthy baby. I know that she will not be around too much after the baby arrives anyway as she gets bored very quickly.

I have the MIL from HELL, I swear if you look at her long enough you can see the horns coming from her head

When I was pregnant with our first she was horrible, not interested asked why I am having the baby that her son will only end up leaving me as he prefers blondes (been together now 16yrs). After I had our son she made a HUGE fuss as although he was the 2nd grandson born he was the 1st to carry on the family name. The novelty wore off fast though. When hubby and I fell with the 2nd she was not at all interested, never rung, never visited nothing. Then when I fell with our 3rd again she just didn't care, until he was born on her sons birthday, then it was a big deal, again novelty wore off fast.

Years later hubby and I discussed having my tubes reversed and having more children, MY GOSH the womens head was spinning on her shoulders and she said in the most horrible voice, " I don't want any more grandkids, 7 is plenty (hubby's sister has 3 and hubby has a daughter from an ex), and we don't want anymore"

Anyway 3 operations, heaps of tests, tubes completely stuffed hubby and I decided to go through IVF, it has been 3yrs since the day we told people we were wanting more and I am now expecting twins and the MIL from hell doesn't even know I am pregnant and hubby and I want it that way.

I honestly don't take it personal as she is HORRIBLE to everyone, even her own daughter and son (both adopted), she treats her other grandson (hubbys sisters son) like sh!t, because she is a racist and his father had some black blood in him so she treats the grandson just horribly, I mean really bad. I think thats why she is like that to me, as I am also adopted but my adopted family have Aboriginal blood in them so she hates my family and can't stand being in the same room as them and she said to me one time " you must have the some black blood in you to be placed in that black blooded family" I said " they have red blood the same as you and I" she just rolled her eyes and walked away.

Seriously a nasty piece of work and I feel for hubby and having a mother like that really does upset him.

I think my MIL is excited. Less excited than last time, but still excited. I suspect she is restraining herself because she is worried we will think she is interfering. Maybe that's the case with yr MIL too?

My MIL seems excited, helps out when she can. Even adding baby stuff to the weekly shopping list Me & OH live with his mum so I see her alot to talk about how the pregnancy is progressing etc.

I have an awesome MIL. I actually talk to her more than I talk to my own mother (I've talked to my own mother twice this preg, MIL every 2 weeks or so). My own mother is often the one full of idiot advice. When I first told my own mum she didn't want to talk to me (hellooo mom I'm 30. I can have a baby if I want). MIL is pretty easygoing.

I guess you would have to talk to her in order to know how she's taking it..She would not talk to us because she was so upset that we were having twins...Like we can help it or something...Anyhoo, talked to her at Christmas, and that's it. Maybe we will call her when they're born, maybe we won't...

my MIL was lovely to me throughout my pregnancy, she has turned now though since she doesn't agree with some of mothering decisions.
