She totally wants to move into the nursery! When she said it I just stared at her! What do you say to that? I know she wants to be super close to her kids but I mean your son is 30 - he is having a child of his own its ok for him to have his own life!
I'm constantly getting harassed about having a midwife instead of a doctor....she tries to make it seem like I am being a bad mother! I know she just wants whats best but I need a little breathing room....She has already hinted at being in the delivery suite and I said flat out NO, it would be just DH and I. I think DH was upset that I flat out told her but hey if I left it to him she would be harassing me about it the day of! I wasn't mean either!

Ah man. Where do I start on my MIL. Here we go..... We didn't have the best start 4 years ago, hubs is from USA and is in the military, she's German lives in the USA visited us 4 years ago for 3 weeks, we had to go back to the states for a week whilst she was visiting because DH grandma was dying. We got back from that trip, she was staying in my home, with her brother, DH uncle. Something went wrong I don't know where, she refused to speak in English, always speaking in German, going through my hubby (poor bloke) to speak to me.
Then she had the cheek to ask my hubby to ask me if I could give her a ride to the airport the following afternoon, I shouted NO, you can make your own way there, you've been rude to me every since we got back and I personally don't think I should give you a ride to the airport and I went to bed.
Yeah that wasn't very mature of me, but after all the crap I just wanted her to leave.

So then the following few months, she did everything in her power by bitching and slagging me off behind my back. Which made me hate her even worse. We then see each other, 2 years after that incident and she acts like I'm her best friend, stupid and fake! UGH Then she goes on to deny ever bitching about me, when I confronted her.

Anyways..... we told her I was pregnant, she acting all Oh my god, no way. I then go on to find out she said, 'I want to be happy about this baby, but I'm not.'
I know I shouldn't let her get to me, everyone else is really supportive and really happy. DH says that she only said that because she doesn't know when she will ever see this baby, whereas I think she said it because she isn't happy about it. I think she thought that, our marriage would never last, which is stupid because everything that has gone on, she is making me make sure that this marriage will and is working and is not going to break DH and I up!!!!! No way in hell!!!!!

Anyways... she basically is like a hippy doesn't have a job, lives on a lake with her boyfriend who does work. We have offered to pay for half of her ticket to come visit the baby but she has to find the other half. And I haven't gotten ONE email from her asking how I am, hows the baby. I've emailed her about things but never get a reply.
Ugh I hate my MIL. I'll shut up now, that's really long!! lol

my MIL doesn't talk to me anymore. ignores me half of the time so i'm done with kissing ass. my DH asked if I would tell her what the sex is, as he'll be out to sea, and i told him NO! that he can tell her himself because she's being horrible to me for no reason. I think she does not like me because I am black.
she was being friendly for a short while until me and DH got in a huge fight that almost ended in divorce, things being HIS FAULT btw. at first she was being nice and was on my side and now all of sudden she won't even speak two words to me. ugh. i'm sure she has no interest in me. just the baby anyway. i'm glad she lives thousands of miles away so i won't have to deal with her "mothering advice" on top of it all.
in my opinion she didn't do a good job anyway. ok that was cruel. but whatever. ugh. i'm all worked up now .hehe.

What a nightmare. She's creating her own drama. I guess she has a very boring life and a lot of issues

Oh Geez don't even bother getting worked up over her, your lucky she's far away! Good thing at least she hasn't turned her back on the baby! She might change when the baby is born..

To put it NICELY, I'm not a fan. Thank the HEAVENS she lives in another state. Although I do have to hear about her whenever my boyfriend talks to mommy dearest on the phone. Geez. Am I bitter much?!

I had a pregnancy that ended in miscarriage. Her response was to "use better birth control." No "sorry for your loss" or anything REMOTELY sensitive. That put a bitter taste in my mouth. I have vowed to not allow her to contact me at all. And really, the only way she can contact me is on facebook. We have never talked on the phone or even met in person. I know that day will come soon though. I'm dreading it.

But in all fairness, I decided to unblock her over the holidays and bam! What do you know? A message from her wishing me a Merry Christmas. So I replied back and wished her the same. Haven't heard from her since. Maybe it is for the best.

She has done some shady things behind my back. Like forwarding letters from my boyfriend's ex to him. Mostly while I was in hospital, recovering from my miscarriage. She thought it was better to not tell me and stress me out. MY ASS! The woman loves drama. How can I not think she hates me?! She does that to me while I'm losing a baby?! It tore me up. I cried so hard and probably just made things worse on myself than they already were...

She has called me immature and told me to grow up. A 47-year-old woman is telling a 22-year-old woman that. It still makes me laugh! All because I blocked her on facebook. I'll tell you what though, I tried to ask her to stop with the hurtful comments about my miscarriage. She was on a rampage, telling me to basically use a condom when I sex up her son. lol. So I blocked her. She wouldn't leave me alone. I was in a fragile place and she was pushing me over the edge. Now I will never open up to her again. No point. Can't say I didn't try though!

As for this pregnancy, she hasn't asked me how I am or bought the baby anything. The exact opposite of my mom. The baby is ALL my mom talks about! She is making the baby stuff, buying baby stuff, feeling my belly constantly, etc. I am so glad my mom is here. She makes me feel so good. I don't care if his mom is being a cow. It sucks for my daughter, but it is what it is. Maybe she'll come around? If not, she definitely has one grandma that is going to spoil the hell outta her and that is better than none.

I hardly ever hear good stories about MILs on this site. I think a majority are jealous and/or can't let their "baby boys" grow up. I guess I can't really imagine as I'm not in her shoes... But my boyfriend is twenty-four, or as I like to call him, a grown ass man. I am 28 weeks preggo and this baby IS coming in May whether she approves, likes it or not, accepts it or not. It is a part of life and I wish she would cut the apron strings already!!!

My MIL said something similar to me - she told me that we should not have more than 2 children as it would mean DH having to work hard to support his family and that our finances would be stretched. I didn't realise it was any of her business how many children we have!
But the classic comment came when she told DH that when I am in labour, it is important that he take lots of breaks as supporting me during labour will be very tiring and demanding for him. And yes, she said it right in front of me, if you can believe the cheek of that!

My partners Mum is over the moon! She's cried over scan pictures, wants to be in the delivery room etc she's so funny bless her. I'm really lucky!

...

I'm actually more worried about my neighbour/landlord than my MIL!!

MIL hasn't been to interested, she does ask how I am and they are buying the buggy... and hopefully a house for us to rent!


But my neighbour! Argh! She use to be a MW. She is extra trained I can't remember what she said but anyway she is trained for the special baby unit or something.
I am dreading still living here when LO is born as she is the kinda person tht puts her opinion accross in a very firm way. She is ''never'' wrong about anything and I just know she is gonna bug me soo much!
