  • WHATS Not whatsapp (thanks predictive text!) 😅
My DD, 1 at the time, had the slightest runny nose, a little sneeze and MIL screeched, “You better call the Doctor and demand you get seen this afternoon! You better had, or you’ll have social services at your door for neglect!” That sneeze never transpired into a cold….. But whats the craziest thing your MIL has said? This is NOT a MIL bashing thread, but it perplexes me that woman says the darndest things, but thats just who she is as a person! I do love her, she just confuses me.

‘When am I getting some granddaughters?’ Said just after we announced our third pregnancy was a boy. Doesn’t sound too bad until you make note that our second pregnancy was a still born daughter. I will never forgive her for that.

No, because nice MILs can’t exist!

They do though. I’m one and so is my own MIL. I actually started a thread about her!

"Oh, I didn't know you cleaned!"

She was lovely to be fair- she was just genuinely shocked I had cleaned 😆
