that sometimes I just don't want another lecture on what's bad for us and why?

[amazingmumof6]

or what I should do to be healtier, happier, smarter etc?

never mind media scaremongering, but my MIL just does my head in

her latest gem is: vaccines are stored in mercury so DD, who's just had MMR and is poorly, should have a bath with bicarb of soda to flush the toxins out!

No, just NOOOOOOOO!

even if any of that is/would be true I don't want a fucking lecture! I'm exhausted and was not asking for advice!
why can't she just say "yes, staying up till for with a feverish whimpering baby sucks"
AIBU? am I?

MrsTerryP out of interest, how did your friend get mercury poisoning?

I must also add that when I had a MC ( confirmed by 3 people at the time, baby had no heartbeat) and chose to have ERPC instead waiting for a natural "clearing out" my mum was really critical and had a hard time understanding that it's not the same as an abortion.

tangstar does it work on hysterical preeteens?

PinkyCheesy yep, heard the files argument too. ffs

Mintyy she has weight issues and spent a considerable amount of time on a tuna diet. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. This was quite some time ago and her doctor is still dealing with it.

Oh no, how awful!

your poor friend!
shame on that doctor for not bathing her in bicarb

It is awful. She is one of those people with everything against her; allergies; weight; depression; single and childless but doesn't want to be; shit, stressful job. Lovely person as well. Funny and kind.

Could you ask your MIL if bicarb works for all of that stuff too? I could be the saviour of the day.

sure, sure. if not bicarb then colloidal silver or "magic drops" made of herbs....

or you could tell her that it's all in her mind! so caring..

actually she sounds like my sis
