Pregnancy hormones kicked in

Well some of my fellow stalkers are going to be proud of me for this one. Looks like my "crazy" pregnancy hormones are kicking in and making it a little more difficult for me to control the things that come flying out of my mouth..... Especially at my noise MIL. 

Yesterday evening my FIL needed to borrow something from DH but he doesn't like to drive close to dark. My MIL was out doing something already so he asked her to swing by and collect the item. Ok no problem. DH was home so I figured he would handle her and she would be on her way. (Wishful thinking)

I was sitting in the living room with my DS15 and DH watching a movie when she arrived. DH went to get whatever it was FIL needed. As MIL waited with us while DH collected and put item in her car she proceeded to tell me and DS15 that she had run into OSS19 mom at a store and was discussing about how I had been going to the doctor a lot lately (why BM1 wants to know I have no idea.) And supposedly BM1 turns all pale faced and (according to MIL) says well I hope she isn't pregnant again they dont need another baby..... 

DS15 looked at her and at me with the widest eyes I've ever seen because he knew it was coming. I informed MIL that it didnt matter what BM1 or ANYONE ELSE for that matter thinks about us having another baby. DH and I are excited about our addition and we don't give a damn what anyone else's opinion on the subject is! And farther more anyone who doesn't like it does not have or need to be a part of this pregnancy or this child's life. I was so angry that she felt the need to share that with me especially in front of one of the children that she has no idea what his feelings on the subject might be. (Luckily he is really good with it but still....)

I will also say that DH, BM1, her husband and myself are actually very friendly with each other. Its been almost 20 years since they divorced and even though they couldn't be a couple they never had any real issues with co parenting their son. I could never imagine her saying something like that. In fact she is one of the ones who likes to tease DH and me about needing another baby because she thinks we are good parents together. 

I swear MIL just does and says crap to get me upset or start drama. Too bad it back fired on her this time. After I fussed at her she very quickly needed to get going. I did tell DH what happened while he was outside so he didnt get blind sided by a phone call today telling him I was mean to his mother.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some people. I can't believe what some think is "ok" to say.

Good on you for telling her how it is. I hope you learn something from your hormones and keep sticking up for yourself after they stabalize.

Most times people need that good dose of real. Your MIL had sh!t else to do but tell you some nonsense that didn't need repeating. I swear some people have too much time on their hands and don't think when they say stuff. How did she think you would take that comment? Hopefully that will be the last of her stupid conversations.

People like that always have to be shut down quick, don't feel bad.
