To not want my MIL to say this......

[Narabug]

Is it wrong of me to wish my MIL didn't look sympathetically at DD when she is filling her nappy and say "Big pushes! Squeeeeeze! Big push! Oooh, well done!"

......... kinda made me wanna hide behind the sofa! AIBU to rather she would just ignore / acknowledge the dump taking place, and not give a running commentary?

Ewww!

Dear God, be glad she wasn't in the delivery room with you.

Lol, VERY true Milly! Although, if FIL had his way he would have been..... with a video camera......

Bizarre [hmmm]

Are they naturists?!

rofl @ Milly! Um, not much you can do there really...put your fingers in your ears and go "lalalala" at the top of your voice?

What Fab said.

she is making a fool of herself, silly woman (er.... she is the silly woman, not OP!)

She does come out with some strange things sometimes! When we announced I was pg with DD her response was to say (straight-faced and smiling) "Well, at least we know it works!" - regarding ex-h todge!

She is very lovely, and very helpful, but when I was pregnant she did tell me an awful lot about her pregnancy with ex-h, I don't want to know about your piles/stitches/stretchmarks/leaky boobs/body hair! I'm having enough trouble with nausea as it is!

Ex-h is totally obsessed with his bathroom activities, so it wouldn't surprise me!

Yes, would make me cringe with a baby in a nappy.

But wait until you have a potty training 2/3 year old that is holding back on the poo front. I've even been known to sing our made-up poo song in the public lavs to get results

nbee84 I have the "come on little poo poo song" for my 3 year old. OP it sounds a little wierd to talk about it if the baby is already pooing perfectly happily! YANBU

Next time she goes the loo stand outside and shout "come on, big pushes, well done!"
See how she likes it!

Ferret - thanks for making me laugh so much a little bit of wee wee came! OMG the thought!

Have a perfectly sane, lovely patient at our surgery. Beautifully dressed, lovely hair and make up.

Very well spoken and knowledgeable.

Came to surgery with DGS yesterday and turned into a raving looney.

DGS is 16 months. She's down on the floor with her face in his, saying "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.give Nana a big kiss kiss kiss,kiss, please give nana Ma, Ma, Ma a big kiss. .

Can't tell you why grandparents go soppy over DGD.

I love mine to death but I treat them as little people.

Have nice sedate conversations with them. Don't have to ask them for a kiss or a hug when they visit, the door slams and I suddenly have 4 little ones hugging me.

Then it's back to normal.

I don't understand why she's congratulating a baby for crapping
