MIL driving me mad

[BunnieMilk]

I'm currently a day away for 12 weeks pregnant with twins. I also have a 2 year old son. When I found out I was pregnant (before I knew there was 2 heartbeats, not one) my MIL made a comment while out shopping with me and my partner about this being my last pregnancy.. we made no comments previous for her to say or think this. I let it pass me by. Now we know there is two babies she made another comment about my getting my tubes tied once they're born. Again, my body and my choice. Me and her son are in our late 20's and we've been together since we were 17. We're not exactly jumping into things or having child after child. But it made me upset that I brought it up with my partner and even he said this pregnancy may not be our last and he doesn't know why she even said it. I'm hurt but also very confused. I wouldn't tell someone when to stop having kids. Am I a bad mum? 😔

Sorry didn't want to read and run. Your MIL sounds extremely judgemental and it is awful that she has said that to you. Do not take it to heart as any indication of how you are as a mum!

Why is she focused on getting you sterilised and not her son? You need to tell her she is being very rude and offensive.

My mil was like this. Had 3 kids herself and was very anti marriage even though she and pil are married. She was devastated when she found out we’d got engaged (he never even told her, she came round one day and spotted a congratulations card from my family). She demanded to see the engagement ring as soon as she found out and immediately declared it to be ‘a bit shit’. I haven’t spoke to her for 7 years now and never will again

Thank you for your replies previous posters. Why doesn't she get her son sterilised? Well that's exactly what I thought... but either way we're happy without following her demands.
I'm sorry to hear other posters same experience about their MIL. It's a tricky situation because I don't want to come across as being as bitter as her but also I don't want her to tell me what to do in life, as though she's warping me into her requests.

@Babadook76 our MIL's sound similar! She's said over and over again that marriage 'is just a piece of paper' although she's on her second marriage. My partner dropped hints about an engagement a few years back and she was quick to jump in to say this comment . My birthday was the end of January and he bought me a promise ring , she was gobsmacked and make a comment to him about ' in your mother and I never got a ring like that off you' i had to laugh or id show my anger!

She sounds very jealous of you 😳 Is he her only son by any chance? That comment about the ring🙄

@mammaaa yes it's her only son. I don't know what it is, she's just very mammys boy with him and it's weird 😂
