Hobber ~ I too hope tomorrow is a better day. Cant believe your MIL said that, i really dont know how you managed not to email back. I think my MIL and FIL are similar as they only had 2 kids i think they think we should only have had 2 kids.

PP ~ Good luck for tomoz, i will be stalking x

[Butterfly Spirit]

Nervous about tomorrow... 9am is so far away but I am scared to go.

Yeah, some people have to be up in everyone else's business, don't they? So aggravating! Sorry your inlaws are similar to mine.

[Mochagirl]

HappyLea - sorry you had such a crappy day.

Hobber - what a bitchy thing for your MIL to say! Why do other people think our kids are their business??

PP- I'm stalking you! I'll wear pink for you tomorrow!

[Hobbermittens]

Mocha, my MIL is really a witch sometimes! Unfortunate, because I used to really like her. She is really making me hate her though! I don't know why she takes it all out on ME, instead of her son!

Its so funny my in laws always have something to say. They werent impressed when we told them we were pregnant with DS1 never mind 2,3 and now #4 hahaha! Also we have 2 dogs so they also had something to say about that. I also had 2 rabbits but sadly they passed away and we had no intentions of replacing them but when MIL said to me "dont get anymore rabbits" i then thought i wanted to just to p**s her off. I didnt but me and DH told her now that the rabbits had gone we were going to get a pig to replace them, it would live in the shed where the rabbits used to live and corner some of the garden off for it. We blagged her about it for a few days, she even rang his sister to tell her what we were doing and how disgusted she was

DH told her we were joking after a few days, but it was nothing to do with her anyways.

Was funny as she really thought we were getting a pig...lol!

HappyLea, I love the story about the pig!

Yeah my MIL wanted us to stop at 1 as well. She was very unsupportive doing DS2's preg and totally remote now with this baby's preg. All she said when we told her it was a girl was, "Good, you got what you wanted, you guys can stop now, right?"

It's her son (who was an only child and HATED it) thats wants to have another one day, and if we do, I don't care one thing about what she thinks! She's an off and on again drug addict who can't even afford to live on her own at 52 years old. Her opinion means nothing to me....it's not like she worked for years so hard...who is she to tell us what we can and cannot afford?

And sorry if the money comment offended anyone...

I wish I could discount my MIL like that.... unfortunately she is retired after working hard her whole life, managed her money well, and is living off retirement investments with no debt, so I guess that is where she is coming from with the shitty stuff she said to me. Still, it is none of her F-ing business how many kids we have!!

Your MIL needs to shut her pie-hole too. Sorry, I am at my wits end with MILs today!!!! :

I would pet sit a friends pig the next time your MIL comes to visit... just for kicks!

TTC5, how are you going? I think it usually takes a few days to get results back so you may not have heard anything yet. I know what you mean about the public system getting you in and out super fast. They are under a lot of pressure. It helps having worked in the system. I know what to ask for! If it does turn out to be campylobacter, it is a reportable infection and you receive a questionnaire and have to try and remember everything you ate for a week before you got sick. It is a pain but then you can take antibiotics that kill it off and are safe to take while pg.

Hobber, I would be upset by the MILs comment as well. I am always sensitive to things mine says to me. However, she would never say that sort of comment (because she wants more grandchildren)...just be more obsessed than me about this being a girl! And my parents had 4 kids, so when we told them about this pg, they were super excited and my dad said 'We think 4 is a good number'!

All the best Purple! Can't wait to hear your news.
