*Super Rant Alert* Ugh ugh and more ugh! Just got super pissed. MIL managed to get me pissed off even at distance! She can be a sweetie when she wants, but it seems like with her the toughest roughest one wins. She gave me a condescending look even on cam when I told her I was going to get what she called "another" ultrasound. She started out with her "I never needed one..." and I told her that "Times must of changed..." and she said: "No, they were around, I just never wanted them so bad..." UGH I said: Well for me the more the better. Really?! Is there need to compare her with me?!!!! When we told her I wanted to know the sex of the baby they gave another disapproving comment about how we wanted to get the gift without unwrapping it or something like that, because "She never did..." I remember when I had my first sonogram I told her I was relieved everything was ok and she said "I wouldn't of needed a sonogram to know my baby was ok..." Like really!! ??????????? UGH! She made me stand up and leave the living room so she could just talk to my husband without me getting even more pissed and saying something I'd regret! Anyway, sorry, I feel like spam now. Haha.
Chalk it up to her being uneducated. "back in her day" they also said smoking while pregnant was ok. And that it was a good stress relief. I know ur "newer" to the family so probably don't want to run ur mouth like I did to my family and laws. My statements were to them this is my baby and my pregnancy I don't want opinions or advice. This is my turn to parent and quite frankly I wasn't impressed at how you did so I certainly do not want advice.
then I proceeded to say that if they couldn't respect my wishes and rules then they didn't need to be involved in the baby's life.
to most I probably came across as a beyotch but truth is I'm an adult and dont need to put up with any drama or other b.s. my life, my choice.
If u don't want to tell her off u can just either not keep her in the loop about things or tell her ur just following what the dr recommends he is the one who has the degree!
