Not at all. I'm a little wtf that it's included here as a one-off anecdote. What did you do about this? What did your H do about this? 4speedy
This isn't a one off story, it's just an old story. DD just turned 7 so back in the day, when this was going on, they practically had to create a spinoff board on The Nest for all the stories I posted. I was on "Parenting" back then so it's just a new story to you ladies
DH was always awesome at putting his mom in her place and shutting it down. Whenever DH wasn't around, his sister was great at running interference. His mom is still crazy but I interact with her so little, I just don't have any new material to tell stories about.
My mom mentioned when we have kids I'll have to sell my snake otherwise it will eat them, because thats what snakes do. Apparently my kingsnake is a rabid anaconda in my moms eyes. Eyes were rolling hard.
After we adopted our second cat, MiL flipped. First she said this meant she couldn't take us on the grand vacation she was planning (what vacation and like hell do I go anywhere with her). Then she calmed herself down with how we will have to rehome the cats when I get pregnant. I said that no, cats and kids are fine together. She gave me a smug and superior "we'll see." WTF lady?
Although now that I think about it, it's probably because she STILL thinks we are moving in when I get pregnant, and of course no cats in her house. Why she thinks this, I don't know. I've made it clear I won't even be in the same state.
