to bit sooo anoyed with MIL , that i could easily say stay away forever???

[theboob]

told MIL that we are PG with DC4,and we are very excited about it,she wont answer our calls or messages
what effect does this have on her life?
she never gets asked to baby sit and see's them once a week for 30 mins
what would you do?? DH wont let me do what i would like

I'm confused, does she disapprove of the pregnancy? Why doesn't she get to babysit?

You need to elaborate!

How mean. Ignore her.
Congratulations anyway!

For how long has she been not answering? Maybe she went out for the day and left her mobile at home on charge?

I'm one of four, and when my sister fell pregnant with her no5 there was a bit of a shocked silence from both the grannies (neither of whom live close enough for regular babysitting) but hey, they got over it.

why do you care?

I don't give a shit what my MIL thinks about my pregnancies.

she wont speak to us so im guessing she does dissaprove ,i have no idea why
it's not that she does not get to babysit ,she is always going out so we just dont ask her,she has never offered but we have asked a few times but she says no,it does not bother me really but this does DH is very upset about it i'm just mad

My mil jokes all the time no more babies, I have 3dc's but I know she dosen't mean it

i would do nothing...she doesn't sound very interested....so don't give her any attention for it...save your energy
Congratulations anyway

we told her on friday afternoon,I dont really care just want to say a few things to her really but DH wont let me,dont think she has ever really liked me from the day i took her PFB away from her lol

thanks all,just feel a bit "how dare you"

Sounds like you don't like her very much, either. What would you like to say to her? Get it out here!

Don't call her. Don't make any effort to contact her, just get on with your life. If and when she finally makes contact, be so normal, like you spoke only the day before. If she mentions what a long time it's been, or anything like that, act surprised "Oh, has it really? I hadn't noticed, to be honest."

have never really liked her ,she took me into a room when i was pg with DS1 and told me we were far to young to have a baby and abortion was the only option
after i told her to get lost she carried on normal ,then when baby was born she used to steal him in the night ,there is so much but the truth.......
she is a stuck up snob who has remarried and thinks she is something special(dont tell DH i said that shhhhhh)
i guess i dont really like her

used to steal him in the night?????!!!!

The rest of it sounds like my MIL. With dd she said we were too young to have a baby (at 27) and with this baby (no 2) she reckons I'm a baby factory...she's not a baby factory for having 2 children because they "live in a nicer area"

I tend to ignore her and rant behind her back until the hormones get too much then I lose it completely with them

She used to steal the baby in the night?

Not quite following this!

Please tell me you used to live with her

we liveed with her while we bought our first house,she used to come i our room and take his moses basket into her room while i was fst asleep,so not really stealing

hand that rocks the cradle

yes we lived with her ,sorry for confusing you all

She pinched him from your room? What a loon!

that's a bit odd! If I woke up and found my new baby gone I'd have a bit of a panic!

TBH she sounds a bit odd all round - just ignore her and don't bother trying to contact. If your DH wants to contact leave it to him. Sure you have enough to think about already with 3 DC and another on the way

he is her favorite now,she did so much strange stuff like taking him in the bath with her before i even had the chance to,DH used to give me this look as to say please dont say anything,she had a huge paddy when we moved

I'm with tumtumtetum on this one
congrats on no4

Sounds like she is seriously miffed you didn't need her anymore
and also bit of a loon
I would be so at the bath episode

thanks for the advise,i will leave it for now,my mum is over the moon so im happy (poor DH)

i cried and cried,i was in so much pain after his birth that i could pretty much do nothing on my own....she took over his care trying to "help" me but she used to really wind me up ,this was all 8 years ago i really should get over it lol
