We told MIL today (via Skype as she lives in another city) that I am pregnant with our third. Her response was so disheartening and although I try not to let it bother me I can totally tell that it is.
She suffers from bipolar disorder and chronic depression so I wasn't expecting much of a response but what she did say just felt rude. No smiles, just a sour face and said, "OH NO!....oh my, oh my, oh no!" No congrats, how are you feeling, etc. My husband and I are both in our early thirties, well established and although this baby was a total surprise it's still very much wanted. She then made comments on the size of our small home, not being able to manage
Made me feel like crap if we want to be honest.
