MIL thinks DP and I are sex crazed and don't have a clue about contraception!

[sweetkitty]

When MIL was here at Christmas she kept making comments about me keeping away from DP in the future and that DP needs some condoms. This really annoyed me. DD was 9 months when we decided to ttc baby no2 of course we thought it would take a while but I got pregnant at the very first attempt (first time not using contraception after DD was born) everyone assumes that baby no 2 is an accident.

DP have been together for 9 years and managed to control ourselves and not have any babies until we wanted them, we are both in our 30s now so why do people (especially MIL and my DM) feel the need to remind us to use contraception after baby no 2 is born just in case we get pregnant again, ffs we are only on baby no 2 not no 6!

Sorry rant over but it's really annoying when your just about to give birth to your second (planned) baby and everyone is going on about you not getting pregnant again argh!

I have over the last 10 years come to the conclusion that my MIL isn't quite right in the head either.

Am definately going to get DP to phone her up in a few months and say "oh guess what?" as a wind up!

Just been watching Trisha (by mistake DD turned it over I swear) and there was a woman on there who attributed her weight gain to having 2 babies in 7 months. One was a premmie but she was pregnant before the 6 week check! Both are 10 yo and in the same class at school!!

poor girl - that must have been such a stressful year for her!

One of DPs aged relatives greeted the news of DS2 (child number 3) with "my, you're at it like rabbits"! Three planned chidren 22 and 26 months apart. GPs have been known to say "you knew what you were doing when you had three" if I ever said I felt tired etc - sometimes wish I could reply they were all accidents!

None of her business, or anyone elses. I would recommend ignoring her entirely - I mean, acting like there is no one in the room when she says such things. Don't even smile politely, and if she asks why, tell her you don't think it appropriate comments.

Grrrr, I;d be mad too. Nosy old mare!

My mother is a bit like that, she keeps saying "Oh I guess you'll wait till DS is about 5 till you start trying will you? so hard to cope with two close together!" It took me over a year to get pg with DS so if and when I start trying I certainly won't be telling her about it!

Would be a bit reluctant to ask about their sex lives though they might be happy to divulge! lol!

I don't know where she was from only caught a tiny bit of it TBH. She was on there as her husband was fed up with her whinging about her weight problem ,she didn't want to leave the house and would only have sex if she had drank a bottle of wine and then she would wear more clothes than during the day. Didn't day what the Trisha one recommended!

My DM was horrifed when I said that DP and I were thinking about ttc, being together 9 years, having 3 degrees between us, our own home etc wasn't secure enough to have a baby! When I told her I was pregnant with DD she never even said congratulations. Everyone has come to the conclusion that she is very jealous of me therefore never compliments me only finds faults etc I try to stay away from her as much as possible. Families eh?
