Aw so sweet of you to remember hun! I am so excited! DS's 2nd birthday in 3 weeks too - can't believe where the time has gone! How are you feeling? Getting any signs Evie is coming?
How are you doing JennJenn?
God ladies, I need to vent!!!... have just heard over the last few days that my MIL has been saying some pretty mean stuff about what I will be like with 2 kids - apparently, she has been joking about how I will struggle with 2 children, and won't be able to cope with breastfeeding the baby. She's also said that our house wouldn't function without my husband. He is super organised and really supportive with housework and helping out with our little boy, but I do a bl**dy lot at home and with our son AND bring in nearly as much money as he does, working a 3 day week! She hacks me right off! I don't really care what she thinks alone, but it's the fact that these things get said to her family and I'm painted to look like some lazy incapable mess! It's all stereotypical cr*p anyway - because I did well academically, she's always making jokes about how I have no common sense... which is a load of bull.
Sorry, I just needed to get this off my chest. There's no talking to her, because she just denies having said anything. I could tell you oodles of comments from the past. All the feelings and pent up resentment I have are flooding back, and I was blaming my hormones and feeling really guilty, but it seems like I am justified for being wary again. Thing is she helps so much with DS, I feel bad for having this rage - but honestly that's no excuse for some of the comments.
Eek family hey!!!
