- The Outsider DIL, 3 of 4 needed/Posted:
21-JAN-10
MIL seems to just be so laissez faire about SIL constantly ditching
the baby with either her dad (who could barely take care of her
dog, from what she said to us) or BIL, and running off every five
seconds. She is always saying "Oh, poor (SIL). She has to
sit by herself with the baby all day and all night long."
I responded with, "So did/do I." I did and still do,
as my DH didn't move from the bed until about 4-5 pm each day, no
matter what. Along with that, DS slept with me, and I exclusively
breast-fed. So, I had him all night as well. MIL and FIL were
no help, either. They would come home, start watching TV, and get
annoyed that DS was making any noise. Then, I would have to take
him upstairs. MIL replied, "No, you had (my husband's name)
there with you all the time, and you had us to help you."
Ummmm, no I didn't. You might have said, "Hi," to my
son in his swing, but that was about it. The whole time SIL was
pregnant she constantly said, "Oh, poor (SIL's name)"
this, "Oh, poor (SIL's name)" that. SIL had significantly
fewer complications than I had with either of my pregnancies. When
I was pregnant, both times, she went out of her way to just be mean
to me. With my DD, she made me ride in an unairconditioned car
in 100-105 degree temperatures, with a heat index of up to 120.
DD was born midsummer, so I was about 6 1/2 to 9 months pregnant.
Not to mention, I had a lot of serious complications. The car would
also overheat unless you turned on the heat. We live in the South,
so it was very uncomfortable to someone who is pregnant. She wouldn't
even let us borrow her car that had air conditioning, stating that
she wanted her air conditioning and she didn't want "fluids"
on her seats. While I was pregnant with DS, she called me up cross
country to cuss me out about trying to get a house showing rescheduled.
I was 6 months pregnant, at home by myself, with my dog and with
no car. The house was huge and it was a mess. It was bitterly
cold outside and the jack@ss Realtor was actually cussing me out
because I wouldn't let him show the house immediately, and wouldn't
go walk around in the freezing cold with my dog for an hour or more.
Then, my MIL called me up and cussed me out twice. I called my
DH in tears, sobbing so hard that he thought something was wrong
with the baby. He was mad enough that he called his mother and
wanted the guy's number, so he could basically tell him where to
go and to tell him that if he ever threatened his wife again, he
wouldn't live to tell the tale. She did the same thing with the
air conditioning in the car again. Fortunately, with DS I was due
in spring, and down here it starts getting hot around the beginning
of the season. Along with the "fluids" comment, she even
went so far as to make me sit on a bag when I rode in her car, even
before I was anywhere near my due date. I found it even more ridiculous,
as she had GMIL in the back seat of that car, and GMIL regularly
relieved herself all over the seats. For BIL and SIL's wedding,
I was told that I had to get a certain kind of dress. I wasn't
even a bridesmaid, and MIL only allowed me to be in about 2 of the
total wedding pictures. I wasn't allowed in the family one at all.
I was forced to walk around with contractions all night, my feet
swollen out of my shoes, by myself, because she kept sending my
DH off to do things.
