How you doing Hairbows? Xx

I am doing okay. Just got diagnosed with minor cholestasis of pregnancy so I am a bit nervous about that. I am itchy all over and doing kick counts multiple times a day. I will be 34 weeks tomorrow and having more blood taken in a week. If my levels continue to rise I may be having this little lady earlier than expected! How are you doing? You are literally In the final stretch now!

Hair bows, hope your levels stay put and you can relax and enjoy your final weeks! What are you doing to relieve the itch??
I'm doing okay thank goodness for all this cuteness it really cheers me up when at 38 weeks 3 days I am feeling jolly uncomfortable!! Having so many pre labour pains its getting a bit annoying.Yesterday I spent the whole day in bed my poor DH. But only 1.5 weeks to go! Big hugs to everyone who like me is still waiting and for those that are getting little sleep with their newborns XXX

I had someone recently go on and on and ON about how terrible & awful it is that I'm having a 3rd son & that they feel so SORRY for me. When she realised I was offended they attempted to fix what they had said by saying "Well look, you have 3 sons - maybe one of them will marry a woman whose mother is already DEAD & then you'll be ok." [emoji102] It hit a nerve. The mother-in-law thing is probably my biggest fear/concern about having sons. Sigh.

What a total cow!!! People are so darn stupid it makes me sooo mad! I hope you gave her some back Primal. Yes the whole MIL gets me too, but seriously its not always the daughter that has this great relationship with their mum. One of my sisters doesn't even talk to my mum she cut her off. A good friend of mine always tells me about how her DH is so close to his mum and they talk all the time on the phone etc etc so sweet!

I have a few girlfriends who are not close to their mothers too. I wouldn't wish that on anyone though & I would never be selfish enough to wish that any of my sons couple with someone who has little family support. I think my fear comes from what I've been exposed to - my husband & all 3 of his brothers barely speak to their mother & if it wasn't for me maintaining our relationship she would be cut off altogether. My brother loves my Mum but he is far more involved with his wife's close knit family. My Dad was an only child & he remained dutiful & pleasant in his relationship with my Nanna but I wouldn't say close. I've never seen that closeness between an adult son & his mother.

Hopefully with our kids generation being less "children should be seen and not heard" and more all about the kids coming first, which is radically different to my grandparents generation, this will make a difference with showing love and affection into adulthood. A lot had changed in the past couple of decades x

I agree (again ) with Mrsincredible!
I think though the whole MIL problem with mothers of boys might stem from control and power. That's how it's been for mil and me. She's way too controlling to the point where she demanded we move in with HER to 'keep an eye on us'. Even after we married, she'd always warn me of not 'messing' with dh and that dh was still her 'baby boy'. He he. He 'baby boy' is nearly 40! Her clingy behaviour was creepy as hell to say the least.
It drove dh and I away from her in other words, because of the batty old crazies, MILs of sons have a really bad rep.
I think when my boys have kids of their own someday, hopefully when they're 35, I'm not going to ever be the pushy grandma. Let my future DIL and son do whatever they want!
I just want to see the grandkids.

Same here myloves. My mil ruined her relationship with my dh, and my dh's relationship with his brothers beyond the point it can not be repaired. I stood up for myself once. Dh supported me. But she poisoned things so much by bringing the family into our issue. She/they tried to turn dh against me even tho he agreed with me. I've not seen them in 5 years. Dh has tried to build bridges. He sees them now and again. They've not met my 3 yo ds or the baby. My elder 2 were over once before xmas as dh felt guilty. We stayed away because after my text (not a face to face argument) things were unbearable and it was threatening our marriage. Even now they don't see what was wrong. It made me ill but therapy helped x
