Dil update

[Hihohoho1]

Thought would update all the lovely posters who helped us shop for pregnant dil.

So got her 3 nice linen pairs of pjs for post baby as well as 3 snuggly maternity ones for now. Also sick slippers.

A thermos for night feeding and 3. Box sets of DVDs she hasn't got and like.

A spa voucher for next spring for her and ds or a friend.

A pretty bracelet and massage oils.

A big pretty bag for hospital stay with soap and glory goodies in it.

Aibu to hope she likes it? hope so she's a sweetie.

I already have a 10 yo, he's super cute and gives great hugs, kisses ans squeezes, he hasn't got a grandma .... So if your other ds would like a ready made family without the nappy/crying at night business.... Put a word in eh?

Wow how lovely. I hope one day i have a MIL as lovely as you.

She's a very lucky DIL. Hope she appreciates you.

Jealous!

They're lovely thoughtful presents and I am sure she'll appreciate your efforts.

How generous and thoughtful! I am sure she will be delighted.

Wow! Great!

Glad we helped.

What a lovely MIL you are. Your family sound amazing!

for you

Ah well she deserves it as she's ace.

They will get free child care too as I run a childminding business.

Merry Christmas everyone

YADBU.

You are being controlling and trying to take over her pregnancy. Back off and stop suffocating her by buying her thoughtful gifts!!

Brilliant presents. I'd love a MIL as thoughtful as you!
Merry Christmas - hope the pregnancy is going well & you have a grandchild to cuddle soon.

You're a really wonderful MIL! :)

congrats on mini-mini - hihohoho1 :)

You are very lovely!!
I'm sure she will adore IT all

Oh how absolutely wonderful. Can you be my Mil please . She will love them.

Oh hihoho you are wonderful, come this way

Do you know what, it's great to read a lovely Mil thread, instead of the really horrid ones.

Optimistic

AeroFlot yes indeed there are so many awful threads and so many awful mils. Don't get it.

I know, they are absolutely toxic, when I clicked on yiur thread I expected another one, and was refreshed to see a positive experience .

You are simply awesome
All I got from my MIL was unwanted, out of date advice and opinions
Lovely thoughtful gifts for your DIL.

Ah well we are very lucky to have her in the family.

All mumsnetters should be awesome mils.

Hope DIL appreciates you.

Waaaaaah! My mil doesn't really give a crap! And I've had the loveliest twins.... . Envious much

As a new mum to a 3 month old the best gift MIL can give would be the promise of help or a listening ear after baby's born

This thread has made me remember what my MIL said when my second was born "but I thought you were having a boy, now I need to return the clothes"....."er, no, the point of not finding out on the scan is so that it's a surprise, for everybody". I genuinely don't think she meant it to come out as weird as it sounded. I can laugh about it now, at the time I said nothing as my reply would have been rude

Can I please swap you with my MIL OP??

Mine isn't interested in me or my pregnancy (her first grandchild) and gave me a free bird calendar from a newspaper for Christmas

when I read Sick slippers..I thought you were the coolest mil on the planet...

If she doesn't like them I am available for the position

Would you adopt my DH? You sound awesome.
