To expect just a little bit of effing sympathy???

[Mothership1]

MIL FROM HELL!
so me and my DP have an 18mo DS, we own a business that has been trading for 11 years and steadily doing well, my DP works very hard and I work 2/3 days, and work from home accounts ect when DS is asleep.
We decided to start trying for another bambino before Xmas and fell pregnant in January to our delight, unfortunately we miscarried in early march :-(
Anyways we hadn't told MIL we were expecting and she is very opinionated and says exactly what she thinks, but when I told her we miscarried I would have expected at least a little bit of sympathy, when infact all I received was her lecturing me on how it's probably a good thing and we should wait a few YEARS before trying for another baby, she has absolutly no reasoning behind this other than she waited 3/4 years between hers.
Needless to say I was in tears by the time I got home, my DP knows exactly what she is like (an interfering opinionated cow) and tells me to just ignore her.
My DP and I would like to start trying again soon but I can't help but feel she has totally pissed on my fire and i don't feel excited about it anymore as I know EXACTLY how she feels about the matter!!
Rant over!
Should I have a word with her and tell her we are going to start trying again soon?? X

Don't tell her. It's none of her business whatsoever.

Sorry about your mc.

You'll be pissing on her fire by getting pg soon!

Ignore her, as your dh says, you obviously know she's a bit batty so don't rise. If she says something horrible, refer to that old mn maxim 'did you mean for that to sound so rude?' (or words to that effect)

if you feel ready, get back on that horse and make some babies. Have fun

Thank you for your advise, were not going to tell her when we start to try again, like you said nothing to do with her!! X

She is an interfering old cow.. ignore!

Sorry to hear of your MC, it's really hard but try when you feel like it not when she gives you permission . You have support from your DP which is good.

PS My Ex MIL sent me a cot (yes a cot) round the week after a MC. She was desp for GC. Hideous and deranged doesn't even begin to describe her.

Sorry to hear of your MC.

Don't give her another thought and don't mention your plans.
If she mentions anything when you are pg again (good luck!) then just say "I didn't need to wait a few years as I'm a confident capable mother" then look at her sympathically and say "don't worry not all women are as strong as me" :D

Bloody poisonous cow.
