AIBU to be peeved at SIL

[yummybump]

SIL "would be dissapointed if my next baby, due soon, is not a girl" according to MIL.

AIBU to be slightly pissed off or just hormonal. I already have one child, a son i imagine everyone could figure out.

I'd ignore it on the basis that MIL may well be quoting her out of context or overemphasising her apparent "desire" for you to have a girl. Its probably just that she'd be pleased for you or something. Let it go I reckon.

oh take no notice of either of them. SIL might not even have said it exactly like that, anyway.

People come out with all sorts of rubbish when you're pg.

Just hormonal I think.

So she'll be disappointed..that's being honest. I'm sure she'll love the baby either way.

I think you're being a bit hormonal! I think what she means was it would be great to have a niece and a nephew. You know, some women like buying girlie clothes, sparkly toys etc. I don't think she meant a boy will be disappointing but just how nice it would be to have both.

Course I don't know your SIL and it might not be but I'd assume the above rather than worry about it.

You mean you don't make babies to order?! That's most inconsiderate of you!!!

No YANBU. And it's out of line because too much pressure might affect you bonding. Perhaps a polite request to MIL not to pass on such messages because it's easy to misunderstand them and not see if it's a joke or not etc?

Maybe it's the MIL who will be disappointed. Did you try saying "what a bizarre thing for someone to say, surely all that matters if that the baby is healthy" and look at her like she's mental if she says it again.

well why didnt she tell you when you were ovulating then?you could have tried some girl making techniques specially for her had you known her preference!
what an idiot,I'd take no notice of her at all :)

Tbh what your SIL thinks is irrelevant, she didn't tell you this nugget of information. Tell your MIL to stop stirring and to learn to keep helpful gossip to herself.

you're a touch hormonal. Either your MIL or SIL (probably both) are dicks.

Ignore. Even if your SIL did say that, your MIL was an idiot for repeating it. It isn't like you can shove baby back in if he comes out with the wrong bits is it?

I gave my mum a bit of a mouthful when my nephew was born as she thought it was a good idea to moan to my sister, excited about being a mummy for the first time that our gran had wanted DSis to have a girl. DSis was understandably put out by this comment, 24 hours after an emergency c section while the baby was in SCBU. My gran insists she didn't say that, and was just surprised as she was sure my sister would have a girl. Who knows, but some things are not worth repeating imo.
