Mother in law doesn't want me to have another child

[Ella898]

Hey everyone

Need advice my mother in law constantly putting me off the idea of having my 2nd child but I feel I want to it's upsetting me

I feel what's she's doing and saying is mean any help on what I should do to deal with this
Thanks

Wtf does it have to do with your mil?

Can you not just ignore her and do whatever you and your partner want? Not really any of her business.

Stop talking about it with her. Totally out of order! I would just ignore.

Sorry that doesn’t answer you question.

How should you deal with this? Ask her wtf does this have to do with you? That should do it.

Seriously, do your and your dh/p want a second child? If so and there are no health issues to worry about then go for it.

Why not thank her to mind her own business? When you need her advice you’ll ask for it.

So don't have one. Or ignore her and do. Meh.

Ignore her! Why does she think she gets a say in it? How many children did she have herself? Do you feel she's doing this because she regrets the children she had or wished she had more? Either way, yes, that is a mean thing to do.

It’s nothing to do with her! What is your husband saying to her when she spouts her unasked unwanted views on the matter? What are her particular concerns?

If she does it again, you say “our decisions about our family are ours alone. We don’t appreciate you commenting on this.”

Or “that’s a very odd thing to say. Why do you think I/we want to know what you think”

If she keeps on, “we’re not discussing this”, get up and walk away.

“You’re being very rude” and walk away.

Is it because she has to look after your current dc a lot?
My mil is really pleased that sil is not having anymore children (she’d never openly say this to her though) because they have fallen in to a routine of babysitting alot and is too nice to say something.

Unless you and your DH are expecting her to look after your child(ren) while you work or you are living with her because you can't afford to move out, then it has nothing to do with her whether you have another child or not.
