A RANT ABOUT F'ING MOTHER IN LAWS!!!
GRRRRR!!!! I used to love mine but now she just grates on me!! I might be just silly and hormonal but tell me what you think?
She invites us round for dinner last night and she makes Prawns on a stick with homemade mayo - she knows I can't eat that and acts all dumb when she realises. Them makes a roast which was great! And then my fav which again she KNOWS i can't eat - fresh cheesecake (with non pasterised egg!!!!) She said i know you can't eat it but i made it anyway! BITCH. She then caries on to say that its not going to be my baby, its hers. She has a copy of the scan in EVERY room. I understand she is excited but she is over the top! She touches my tummy all the bloody time! I think that is a very personal thing, Marc does it and my friend rubbed it last night and thats that, I have resorted to buying a 'hands of the bump' t-shirt. The other week she got all sink cleaner all over me as she isn't careful with her cleaning products, she leaves them everywhere all un-open. Marc has had words as she can't do that with the baby around!
Then the other night she moans that I want to order my pram (I'm 14 weeks) as its in the sale and comes with tons of stuff. Apparently i'm stupid for wanting to! Now she wants to pay for it (which is lovely of her but make up your bloody mind!)
She doesn't like any names
She doesn't like my OH having tattoos, If we let our child when he/she is old enough we are bad parents
And then to top it off she says......'I WON'T INTERFERE!!!!'
Grrrrr
I feel much better lol thanks!!

Poor you, i think we all have our moments with mil. I'm getting on with mine at the moment but it could change very quickly. One day shes fine and the next she is a big pain in the bum and nothing i do is right. My main problem is she refuses to buy lo presents this christmas as she says she will be to small gggggrrrrrr. she doesnt have to spend a fortune but a token would be nice. sorry for tha rant, hope you feel better soon. xxx

I know it really annoys me, bloody meanie, i always new my baby would like my family better lol xxx
Try spending less time there and telling her a bit less and see if it helps. The less they know the less they can have a go at you for.....
hope it gets better.

mine keeps calling it "our baby". no, its mine and my hubbys!!! :evil:
telling me how to put it in the cot with the feet at the bottom. I KNOW!!
wants to see it every thursday when born. (hubbys day off)
bought us the cot but not the mattress but then went and bought me an expemsive earring and necklace set for my birthday!!!!
she started getting on my nerves last year with wedding arrangements.
ive gots load sof stories but i wont bore you all. good job ive got my mom to laugh about her with!!!!
31 weeks
She has bought us clothes, pram, 2 moses baskets, car seat etc.. she's been great and never interferes either
Stupid woman!
My MIL is soooooooooooooooooooooo annoying! She was never like this before i was pregnant. We would see her like once a month now she is trying to come over every week.She has bombarded us with stuff but unfortunately it isn't new, its all second hand. I have just thrown most of it away and cant even be bothered to explain why we aren't going to use it. Every time she sees something she is on the the phone ' ohh i have seen a pram for ??60...blah blah' But i have already told her my mum is getting the pram.
She phoned up ysterday and said she found the bath from SIL baby, i just said to my OH that someone in my family is getting it. If she trys giving anymore i will say we already have it. My mum isn't this bad.........so why are MIL??
I know some may see their gestures as sweet but with my hormones as they are i just want to tell her to go away until after baby is born.
Rant done!!

Wish mine was halfway across the world, unfortnately she is 5 miles down the road.
Grrrrrr
It got worse when he was born, she used to go in to our room and wake him up when he was supposed to be sleeping, or change his clothes without asking us, because she didnt like what i'd put on him! I was so glad to move out lol
All you can do is let it go over your head hun, its annoying, but she's probably just over excited and hopefully she'll calm down as the weeks go on.
I go all sarcastic on my MIL now, like when we went on holiday with them, she was constantly asking if i'd put suncream on the boys, so i'd say oh, no i decided not to use it because i want them to get a tan! She even laughs about her interfering herself now lol, so i think i'm getting her trained slowly but surely!
Just one more thing to get off my chest... whilst pregnant i had to endure comments about how i must be loving mat leave (basically implying i am lazy-not a new thing). I have just returned to work PT and thought i might get some credit for that at least but no, because my oh is looking after lo on the days i work she thinks it's a just a shame for him!! I can't win!!
ARRRGH...so much more to come, it's awful!
shes manipulative and plays my OH and against each other. Xmas is the newest problem...I have told her its just me,my OH and the kids...what did she do?book herself on a flight out anyway can you believe it!?she knows i want xmas by ourselves so shes saying oh u can do want u want on xmas day but the woman is flying from a different continent for christ sake!shes trying to back us into a corner and im refusing to back down!AAAAAGGGGGGHHH!!!
Rant all you like to get it off your chest!
