MIL comments on more children

Currently pregnant with my 3rd and I've always wanted to have at least 4 but I've had a few losses throughout my pregnancies.

Anyways, my DH doesn't want anymore after this and I may be content with that idea. I was speaking with my MIL and she goes "Ah you can't have anymore after this" and I said don't know if God blessed me with more than why not and she goes "Ah come on, no more".

What ticked me off more is that she's not a bad person but she's never been invested in helping me or DH with our kids so not sure why it would matter to her how many I have. We also found out we are having a boy and I made an innocent comment congratulating on being a boy grandmother or having a grandson and her response is " I already have a grandson" like completely missing the point.

Silly things but it ticked me off when I think about it.

My in-laws made a comment about how many kids I have, behind my back, to family. I wouldn’t mind but they had more than me. It was one of the things that really pissed me off about them, which led to our eventual low contact.
