View Full Version : My Parents...
Jennygirl 04-18-2007, 08:44 AM are the most incredible people I know. They ordered us bedding, sent us a huge box of assorted items for the baby, and a car seat.
I do not have the most caring relationship with my MIL, I actually can not stand her.
She never calls to see how Im doing, hasnt sent a card r one thing.
I know its not about the money, but it sickens me to know that my MIL could give two craps and that my husband is sick of hearing it. I know he knows Im right, but GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Any of you who have crappy relationships with your in laws before pregnancy did it continue during and after or did it change?
Jennifer 04-18-2007, 08:47 AM awww your parents are so sweet! What bedding did you get?
Ellen 04-18-2007, 08:48 AM That was so nice of your parents....

Ellen 04-18-2007, 08:51 AM There's only so much you can do.
Jennygirl 04-18-2007, 08:54 AM Im finding ignoring her works, until she calls and i end up throwing something LOL
Becca 04-18-2007, 08:55 AM You have very sweet parents...I'm sorry your inlaws are less than ideal :no
trtnavywife 04-18-2007, 08:58 AM That was very sweet of your parents!! I'm sorry you're having a hard time with your inlaws:hugs I totally understand where you're coming from dealing with inlaws:hairout I hope it gets better:D
Thankfully my inlaws are outlaws, so we never hear from them :D
Now, dh's grandparents and whatnot.. yeah. They are another story. We told them we were pregnant they said oh cool, then proceeded to talk about dh's child molesting father :vent :banghead SICKOS!
Ashnbri 04-18-2007, 09:05 AM My DH and I have a really crappy one with his dad and his GF....I think part of it is his dad knows he doesn't accept her but we never get any calls or emails or anything from them..my DH is the one that usually does the contacting to atleast tell him what is going on. But atleast he went to the baby shower but I think he felt more obligated and his GF made him go. It is making me really upset becuase my dad is in his late 60's maybe close to 70 and is sick....I would like our son to have atleast another Granpa that cares and will be in his life!
kittycat915 04-18-2007, 09:05 AM how sweet of your parents!! sorry you don't get along with your mil. i hope after your baby is born, she will come around!!!:goodvibes
jairoo04 04-18-2007, 07:27 PM That's so great that you got so much stuff. I'm sorry your in-laws suck. mine do too. They are drug addicts and thiefs so we stear clear. Unfortunately for me though my MIL calls me almost EVERY day. She drives me crazy! I hope they change a little after the baby does come. good luck!
mrskmw 04-18-2007, 08:00 PM I get along great with David's dad and his wife but i DESPISE his mother and her husband. His mom treats him horrible and has made NO effort to see how things are going with this pregnancy and when asked if she is going to have anything to do with the baby she says "we'll have to see". WTF is that? lol

Thats like me...I like his dad and stepmom but not his real mother. I got when he told her, "I thought you were waiting"
She has yet to call again.
Caimbrie 04-19-2007, 11:42 AM My MIL doesn't even like my boys because they are mine. When I was pregnant for our first son together his mother told me I'd never be as good as his ex wife and she was upset I was pregnant.

i guess it wouldn't bother me. you have YOUR parents who obviously care about you and even this early on in your pregnancy, are showering you with gifts and love.
i didn't have a crappy relationship with my exMIL when i was preggo with z but she didn't call or send anything when i was preggo. i didn't expect her to.
