MIL question

Okay so a few weeks ago we were going to extend my inlaws house and then the whole deal went sour when my inlaws decided to jack up the price for all kinds of BS. Well things were left off sour BUT HELLO...I am still preggo. So before hand I had her and my mom coming to appts to see the sono pics. My dilemma.....she hasnt called to see if myself or the baby are ok in about 4 weeks. I know things are not perfect but take some interest. I am now wondering if I'd be in the wrong to not invite her anymore. I mean her lack of interest is evident.
p.s. she knows Ive been very sick with M/S and eye fluttering etc.

Sorry.

Not to hijack your thread, my MIL hasn't called me since I found out I was preggo to see how I was and I am 29 weeks. Oh and I had 20 weeks of m/s.

What does your DH say? I have to say I would most likely just take my Mom with me.

Re: MIL question

I would speak to your DH about it and maybe suggest that he call his mom and ask why she hasn't called to see how you are doing in 4 weeks. It's would I would do and I know DH would call his mom cuz I think he would be bothered by it as well.

You're not wrong not to invite her. I wouldn't worry about it!

Also, my MIL never called to see how I was when I was PG with my son Caiden or with this baby either. Chat Icon

I cant believe all the women in similar situations. Its really sad that families dont come together. I wasnt raised like that and when I look at my in laws its really makes me sick and to think other people have this...OY!

It's sad that she is being like that. This is her grandchild. I am not in your situation with my in-laws but I would be hurt too. Then I would just say "you know what, freak it, it's her loss" and I would concentrate on my brand new baby cuz in the end all that matters is your special bundle of joy. You can always send her an announcement and put a little note saying "just thought you'd like to know what your grandchild looks like"

Life is too short to focus on people's nonsense. Don't waste your time on your MIL, spend it on things worth it more like your new family.

Were all your MIL's like this before you got pregnant? My MIL specifically calls when she knows i am not home so she doesn't have to talkk to me. She doesn't ask about me now so i figure when i am pregnant i will be in the smae boat as the rest of you.

Re: MIL question

I'm sorry your MIL is turning the house situation into something personal. If I were you, I would skip inviting her to the next sono. She'll get the hint.

I think you are all right. I told dh today shes not going to the next appt. I thought I was being petty before I heard the same kind of opinions like I was thinking. So when she blasts me on the phone...I will refer her to LIF...LOL

Oh my gosh thats exactly what she does, the one time he left his cell phone homee and she called and i answered it and shes like are you playing secretary. Not only does my MIL never ask about me, everytime i see her she complains she hates kids. Nice right. At least when we have kids they will have my parents because they are going to make great grandparents.

If she complains that she hates kids then I guess she hates her own.

Actually no thats the one thing about her, you know she loves her son. But she doesn't like small children. Especially when they are running around her house, dh's cousins have alot of kids. I know she doesn't makse sense.

Re: MIL question

What is wrong with these MIL's? Don't they care about their Grandchildren?
