We just announced our
pregnancy to our families on this past Saturday! We decided to
tell everyone about the pregnancy at DH's 30th birthday party, as
both families were there! At first, the party was going great,
and MIL behaved quite well for a change! The exception was that
she told anybody who would listen that she cannot wait for next
year, because then her little angel (my SIL) will be getting married,
and then she can die, because all her children will be taken care
of! Strange party conversation, if you ask me! After the announcement
of our pregnancy, she ran to my DH and literally jumped on him.
He actually fell down and hurt his back! He was so embarrassed!
She kept crying and screaming! She tried hugging me, but held on
so tight that I could not breathe. DH had to ask her to let go
before she killed me and the baby! After she quit making a scene,
she started drinking rather heavily! Then, she started telling
me that I don't have to worry, I just need to have the baby and
she will raise it! I don't think so! Later the same evening, we
started clearing out the party area and cleaning up. One of my
cousins called me over to ask me something. MIL screamed at her
that I cannot help with anything because I'm pregnant, and I'm not
going to lose her GC because of my cousin. My poor cousin just
looked at her and said that she did not ask me to do anything.
After my cousin walked out the door, MIL stated, for all to hear,
that in a hundred years she will never like my cousin in any way.
She has met my cousin only 3 times, including this time! I got
very upset, and was about to set her straight when DH grabbed me
and told me to calm down, as MIL was drunk and I didn't need to
upset myself with her! So, I left it, for now! Then came the next
day. We had to go to her house to drop off some stuff that we used
for the party. She said that she must be the only one excited about
my pregnancy, because none of my family members showed any emotion,
and "#$% them". She doesn't care what they think, since
she is going to be a GM! I lost it, and told her that if she wasn't
so busy trying to be funny and jumping all over my DH, she would
have seen that my family congratulated DH and me, and that most
of them had tears in their eyes! She was actually speechless!
I've had more than enough of her abuse towards my family! Now I
just need to start putting up boundaries in regards to my pregnancy
and the baby (after it is born)! Yesterday, she told DH that this
baby has to be born on the exact day her eldest child was born (the
child died while it was still a baby) because then God will be giving
her baby back to her! DH cannot understand why this is upsetting
me! I feel that she wants to take over the baby once it is born!
Then, she said that the baby has to be a boy because the family
name needs to go on. FIL stood up for me and said that it doesn't
matter, as long as the baby is healthy. She turned around and told
him to shut up, because he will never be able to think like her!
Then, she told my DH that if I have any kind of craving, he must
get me the food within a few minutes, otherwise our baby will be
born with "large, disgusting birthmarks"! No matter how
long DH explained to her that it is medically impossible for food
cravings to cause birthmarks, she still kept insisting that she
doesn't want our child to have birthmarks, so we better make short
work of any cravings I get! I am shuddering to think what she is
going to be like for the rest of my pregnancy! Before I forget,
she also insisted that we get rid of my cat, because it is very
unhealthy for a baby to be in contact with cats. Cats, according
to her, are very dirty and nasty! I really don't think so. I love
my cat, and grew up in a house full of them. They are tidy and
clean animals! Our doctor warned me about the cat's litter, but
insisted that the cat itself is not a problem! She actually told
me that we will discuss this at another time, when my hormones are
not raging and I can think like an adult! I have a feeling that
MIL will not be seeing much of me any time soon! Any advice in
dealing with her during my pregnancy will be appreciated!
