So, we told the in-laws last night....

[boHOHOhemianbint]

for anyone who's seen any of my recent posts, you may know that my in-laws are the oddest people ever.

We told them last night I was pregnant - and it was exactly the same as last time!

DP: DS1 will be getting a brother or sister!

PIL: SILENCE.......

FIL: Oh right.

MORE SILENCE.

Then after several minutes MIL started up with the "Oh dear, DS1 won't like that, he'll be all pushed out!"

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa whatever.

I'm not telling them next time!

It's not just ILs. When I told my sister I was expecting my third she exclaimed "But you can't have another one!" What do you mean, can't, I said, I AM having one. But, but, you can't afford it, she said. Are you suggesting I should have this baby terminated? I asked with THAT tone in my voice. Er no, no, of course not...

DS3 is sitting beside me as I type. He is now 19 years old and is gorgeous. They were all so nice I had a fourth as well, and am rather regretting not having had five. My sister, to do her credit, though she never quite got her head round anyone actually wanting a baby, has done her best to be a good auntie, for example always considering their individual tastes, ages and personalities when buying presents, which I can tell from this forum is quite rare!

Morning, and happy new year - thanks for all the replies.

Blimey, lots of other people with deranged out-laws! at the amount of people who also get told "never mind!" or worse!

WanderingTrolley - rofl - yeah, they are a bit Godly and I do wonder if they see me as the anti-christ. As for how we're going to tell them about the birth, if last time is anything to go by, they'll ignore us for 8.5 months, then suddenly start calling every day and trying to move in. I got told off last time because SIL came over from Belgium hoping I'd have the baby whilst she was here. I didn't. MIL wouldn't shut up about it, being really accusatory like I was suppressing contractions on purpose or sommat!

Barmy - all of them. Big love to everyone in the same boat!
