- Ln, 1 of 4 needed/Posted: 31-JAN-10
I have 3 SILs, lucky me. For Christmas, I received a necklace from
my eldest SIL. I had given it to her for her birthday. From the
2nd SIL I received soap. Not a fancy soap. A bar of store bought
soap! I shouldn't complain, though, because DH didn't receive anything.
Yet, they send him a list of stuff that they want before their birthdays
and Christmas.

Frequent
Fry Her TM.
- The Outsider DIL/Posted: 31-JAN-10
When we told her that we were expecting our DS 2 years after we
had lost our DD, she didn't say anything. No congratulations, nothing.
She just ignored me. When DH and I got engaged (after going on
4 years of dating and being married in spirit for about that long),
we got the same deal. However, when BIL and SIL got engaged and
when they announced they were pregnant, there were hugs, congratulations
and tons of smiles. In every one of BIL and SIL's wedding pictures,
she is smiling. She is not smiling in one of ours. DS was a big
boy (9lbs. 8oz.) and was also really tall. He had some pudge when
he was about 3 months, up until he really got moving at 9 months.
During this entire time, both my MIL and FIL kept calling DS "fat".
They would say that he was going to be fat forever because I was
"overfeeding him". DS was exclusively breastfed until
he started solids, after which he was still breastfed. Our pediatrician
agreed that you could not overfeed a breastfed baby because they
know when they are full and they stop eating. I was in the process
of losing the baby weight at this point as well, so I was eating
lots of veggies and other healthy foods. I made sure DS had mostly
organic baby food, as it had fewer preservatives/fillers. BIL and
SIL's baby, who was born a little over 7 lbs, is fed formula every
time he cries, for any reason (he needs a diaper change, etc.).
He is overweight for his age. He weighs what would be OK for a
child who is almost 6 months old to weigh, and he is barely 4 months.
Yet, MIL and FIL have never once called BIL and SIL's baby "fat",
nor have they said a word to either of them about their parenting.
Everything I do is wrong, according to them. I was not allowed
to go anywhere without DS with me, when he was a baby. They just
didn't want to watch him. MIL and FIL wouldn't watch him without
making it some huge deal, even for just an hour. They go and get
BIL and SIL's baby so they can watch him for however long BIL and
SIL feel like being gone. That is usually about 4 or more hours.
SIL went off to somewhere 3 hours away for 2 weekends in a row,
when her child was less than 1 month old, just to hang out with
friends and drink. MIL let her sleep for 2-3 hours while she watched
the baby. DH and I were hallucinating because we were so tired
a few times. MIL and FIL STILL wouldn't take DS for just a little
while, so we could sleep. MIL always has some extremely negative
comment about my parenting - how clean my apartment is, etc. She
always waits until my husband leaves, then she starts coming after
me about whatever. When they were here the night before last, she
started making some condescending comment about DS watching too
much TV. If he watches anything, it is an educational show. Even
then, it isn't that often. Then, she started doing her usual nose
up in the air look around, which means that she thinks my apartment
is a total hole. She does this even if the place is spotless, which
is no easy feat considering I am 16 weeks pregnant and have a 19
month old DS at home.
