It has been such a nice day so far...

[Braven05]

Eww, so sorry! I don't have a MIL yet but I love my OH's mother...I can't imagine putting up with someone like that....actually I really wouldn't put up with it. She wouldn't come into my house and treat me like that, especially not for an entire weekend. And the comments about your child, completely uncalled for. You know, you CAN use pregnancy as an excuse to be unusually bitchy towards her when she makes comments like that. Just blame the hormones! lol I'm sorry, hope she's not so horrible this weekend! Good luck!

Lol the problem is I'm like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail - I only think of the insult or comeback I SHOULD have made about 2 weeks after she's said it lol My sister is amazing she can cut people down to size with her comebacks... me I missed out on that gift lol X

I don't have it either lol I'd just cry

Good god, what a witch!

If she says anything about how you look just tell her you just loooooove being pregnant. Basically go against everything she says. I find people like that feed off you being uncomfortable and it seems like that's what she's doing. Be really nice to her and overly enthuiastic about everything, she'll end up being the one who's uncomfortable and you'll be in control. But if she says anything completely out of order, put her straight in her place, even if it is just 'You're really mean and I don't like you' xxx

Lol thanks Claire, maybe you're right and I should just be overly nice and enthusiastic. As my mam says "Killing someone with kindness always works best". Maybe by being so nice to her, she'll snap and then DH will see what she's really like lol. If not I may start a thread for suggestions for comebacks when she's nasty. Just so that I have some ammo tucked away for the weekend lol XXX

I cry too!! And there's nothing I can do to stop it! Once the tears start thats it they have to flow lol XXX

This is what I get at work, when I'm on the phones and people are being nice but really sarcastic and horrible at the same time, I really want to snap at them but I can so I just be really REAAAALLY sweet and nice and they end up crackin, then I can put them in their place

I can be a total bitch but luckily people aren't that nasty to me. Not to my face anyway and as for the witty comebacks, I'm not the worlds best either, depends what's been said xxx

 

[RaspberryK]

I'd just tell her enough is enough especially while she's in your house. You don't need a witty come back, I'd stop it before it gets worse when the LO is born.

I have a classic, if anything is said about your weight(going from experience).

''well i just love my pregnancy curves and so does 'insert hubbys name' followed by a wink in hubbys direction.

That is bound to make her feel uncomfortable!

or there is always https://newlyweds.about.com/od/familyfriends/a/comebacksformils.htm

haha

 

[CeeCee2010]

Lol If somebody says something about my family or DH then I will fight to the death lol but if somebody is mean to me I just cry lol. I am such a wimp... channelling meg ryan in you've got mail I must "Go to the mattresses!" XXX

 

[CeeCee2010]

Oh no it's nearly time to leave work and go home to her... I might volunteer for overtime ~ Holds on to leg of desk and refuses to be dragged away ~ xxx

 

[Rachel_C]

Good luck! Just keep in your head that YOU are having her grandchild and YOU will be the one who decides if/when she gets to see the baby. You might find she suddenly becomes a lot nicer when she realises that!

 

[whit.]

Wow! What a bitch! I would do as someone else said if she makes comments about your body. Talk about how much you love being pregnant, love having the little one inside of you -bonding with her - and how much your hubby LOVVVES how you look now.

She's probably just mad (like my MIL) because I 'stole her son away from her' psh, I take great care of my OH - she's just jealous.

If I were you, I'd also just laugh and carry on like you're having the best time ever.

To the main poster here,I feel your pain.I put my MIL in her place by finally just being mean right back to her and not taking her crap.She and I get along great now.
