Would this bother you? MIL comment

[7costanza]

Yesterday we had our anatomy scan and found out the baby is a boy. MIL and FIL came over yesterday afternoon to help with some stuff around the house, and were looking at the pics from the ultrasound. first FIL was joking that the black space above the baby's head was his huge penis. FIL is generally clueless so that was not out of character. Then when they got to the actual picture showing the penis, MIL said "he already has a hard on". I kind of laughed it off at the time because I couldn't think of what to say, but I still feel gross about it today. Am I just being a hormonal, overprotective mama or is that really a weird and inappropriate thing to say? They are both really weird and I'm never quite sure how to react to some of the things that come out of their mouths...

I don't know how this posted twice and I'm on the app and not sure how to delete or edit it.

Ew.

[fortmyersbride]

Yes, gross. Your MIL is strange.

[froggy76]

Yuck.

[kangaroo11]

That's so weird to say about an unborn baby.

[scherbatsky]

Gross and inappropriate. Yuck.

Ugh, my aunt said something like that, and I was seriously skeeved by it. I don't think you're out of line to feel grossed out.

That's a seriously yucky thing to say! Yes I would be annoyed.

I'm sorry they were inappropriate.

We didn't show anyone the gender revealing shot. Even though it was an ultrasound I wanted to protect his privacy.

Gross.

Ewww. That would make me very uncomfortable.

On an unrelated note, when I first read your subject line, I thought it said "MIL communist." I guess it was all the Cold War talk on the MM board confessions thread yesterday.

Eh.  Not a big deal to me.  We laughed about DS's baby boners all the time.  He didn't have one in utero that I noticed but I would have laughed about it if I had.

We laugh about this kind of stuff too. Plus, if I already knew MIL was weird, it wouldn't bother me.

I would be annoyed by their general immaturity (I mean, seriously, your MIL used the term "hard on "?), but I wouldn't be offended. Those are comments are really ridiculous, though.

Congrats on your boy! So fun!

All of this.

Yeah my MIL made a similar comment about how she could tell DS was going to be " endowed " like his father after seeing the ultrasound.

WTF! She also said that after DH was born she called her girlfriends to tell them how big he was!! She claimed it was a " boy mom thing"

Ewww WTF!

I find it a little gross and inappropriate.
