to think my MIL is just a tad evil?

[iansgal]

Knowing that we have had IVF (during which time MIL breached our confidentiality, her DD made a very bitchy bloody malicious comment to me, and then had the nerve for no fucking reason to question our marriage a few months later...) is it bloody me, or is giving our 2 year old a book about bonking rabbits who keep breeding and eventually move into separate beds to avoid more babies taking the bloody piss?

Is she just insensitive and ignorant or a bloody cow in sheeps clothing?

He's 2 for fuck's sake.....does he need to know about birds and bees? Given that her DD has got 3 children I suppose this is their hint hint....

AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to rant Mumsnet, am loving this forum and have only just joined!

Can you do a link to the book pls on Amazon?
I've never heard anything so bizarre in may life!

YANBU She is mad
Bin the book

Ignore ignore ignore

Easier said than done when she is your MIL I know, but try to distance yourself from this behaviour and rise above it. Bonkers. I agree, bin the book.

How bloody insensitive! Do you think she did it to wind you up? Bin the book now.

She is mad...and YANBU!

Weird book! "Daddy Bunny is a Sex Addict"

Have some literature about alzimers and dementia delivered to her house and write to her drs about her very obvious lack of memory. She clearly needs professional help

More info on the book please!

Do you think maybe she just thought the book was about fluffy cutsie bunnies and didn't read the bonking bit?

My mum once bought ds1 a teddy bear in full s&m gear holding a leather whip in its paw. She had no idea.

I don't know without seeing the book. If it's a beautifully illustrated, nice looking children's book she just thought looked good - it could be more to do with thoughtlessness than spite.
But it sounds as though there may be a back story that makes you think it is spite.

What on earth is the book??? Name please.

"My mum once bought ds1 a teddy bear in full s&m gear holding a leather whip in its paw. She had no idea."

LMAO at that.

Give the book to the child along with a large box of crayons .... . Then show mil what he thought of it ! hehehehe ....so you have to bin it , what a shame eh? .

Mil is bonkers btw (excuse the pun , rolof)

@ teddy bear in S&M gear!

Put it on top of the wardrobe. Job done.

definitely need a link to the book, please. seems too odd.......

Reminds me of time my BIL gave my son a book called 'Parasites' for xmas. We were in the middle of a massive family row about inheritance.

We need a link to that book and a link to that S&M teddy bear!

thedollshouse did you tell your dm or keep it to yourself. LMAO by the way :o

Hi, thanks so much gals - am now laughing about it and feel much better having read your responses.Glad it's not just me!!!!

Can't remember name of book and not at home now so will find later and link to it.

Hilarious idea Aeldredida, LMAO

YANBU - rofl at Aeldredida

Maybe she gave the book to the wrong child?
Maybe it was meant for one of her dds children?

(would be more fitting)

Good point, maybe she did....come to think of it she often calls our little one the boys names on the other side so perhaps.....

In that case.....what do you think about me giving it back to her very sweetly, with DH present so she can't twist what I have said, and say "I think you gave this to us by mistake....".

If she says no, will just say well think it's more appropriate for them so can you pass it on.

Makes the point, not in the way I would like to, but won't upset DH and she can't start a row accusing me of anything.

It's called More and More Rabbits by Nicholas Allan. Descript on back "a fun way of answering questions about where babies come from". "Mr and Mrs Tail just can't stop having babies! But where do they come from? Soon the house is full, poor Mr and Mrs Tail have to sleep apart on the floor. And it's not long before they make their big discovery..."
