My SIL is 6 months pg with her 2nd baby.
She is also obese.
She struggled with day to day things (couldn't walk very far, struggled to bend down etc) before becoming pg so I have no idea why she thought becoming pg would be easy.
During her first pg she was constantly tired, she phoned in sick to work often, she asked anyone she could to do her housework for her and would get my DB to come home on his lunch break to carry out some minor task. (he's a very soft touch)
Despite them living in a tiny house and the constant moaning about lack of space they decided they just had to have another baby. She has made no attempt to lose weight despite her admitting that the reason she struggled so much the first time was due to her weight. She struggles already to look after her toddler and relies on my DM a lot. She complains that her DD is such hard work when I think she's a very easy child, she hands over all childcare to my DB as soon as he gets in from work and takes herself off to bed.
This pregnancy is of course the toughest in the history of pregnancies. She has never been so tired, she's in constant pain, she takes days of work without telling my DM so she still looks after her DD for the day. She gets my (disabled btw) DB to pick everything up for her. She's even asked my DS to pick up her DD's dirty nappy that was at her feet!
Being around her is very difficult, seeing my DB with her is difficult as he is so soft with her and she is walking all over him and taking advantage of my DM's babysitting. She even mentioned moving close to me because it would be nice to have 'someone close by to help with the baby'
She doesn't seem to want to take any responsibility for her DC's but just loves the attention being pg gives her. Yet she believes that she's a great mum and looks down her nose and tuts at my DS's if they are too loud or playful.
This makes me sound like such a bitch but her behaviour is making it very difficult to spend any time around her, and my DM is getting upset about being taken advantage of
