anyone's mother inlaw being rude??

My MIL is going out of her way to try and make me worry about things. Example "oh your baby will most likely be 10Lbs so prepare yourself " I asked why she would say that considering my pregnancy is right on track & my husband and I were not big babies she just shugged her shoulders. Thats just the tip of the iceberg,  instead of her goal of making me worry she  is making dislike her and not wanna talk to her because she's a debbie downer!

My MIL cares a lot but sometimes irritates me by comparing her pregnancues with mine and by always saying she had nothing no morning sickness,no acidity,no strech marks,N i hope no labour pain hehehe.
She is just trying to be super mom i think.so next time if she says she had no strech marks I am really going to ask her to show me her tummy to prove herself.
Lol

Aw. This makes me sad. I don't have this situation but I can imagine. When people have been negative with me I have avoided them I don't need the stress. Getting confrontational only helps with certain people. I wonder what would happen if a woman who was expecting said "what if someone said that to you?" If these people would think about it...

Awww I hear you ladies what is wrong with our MIL I honestly think they don't want to see anyone else make their sons happy besides them but what they are doing is missing out on getting to know all of us and it's not fair.  My example was I was with my MIL and husband at target and we were looking at cribs.  I know having a baby is expensive but it was my first time seeing the prices on everything so I said wow it is so expensive my MIL says back well didn't you think about that before putting my son through this.  OMG I about lost it on her but she bought us a new crib so I kept it to myself. I never made him we both talked about having a baby and he couldn't be happier but I hear all of you how frustrating

My MIL is sweet as peach pie, we've always been close, but she has became so clingy and super freaking annoying.  EVERYTHING that is said about my pregnancy she compares herself and her pregnancies 26 years ago. I love her to death, and I know she's excited but yikes, I guess I'll consider myself lucky that she's not rude . Good luck to you ladies :)

My MIL shes always try to put me down shes always said omg look at here she its so fat buy the funny thing is she is huge too so i tell my mom and my mom said just ignore her cuz she like be disrespectful so dont listen to her. I love my hb but i dont want be around his family for my own good. We have a boy and now im pregnant with a girl and i dont like be around his mother or sister they are bad and disrespectful.  I try be nice with them but they just make me feel bad about my self. Just ignore her and dont let no one make you feel bad or scare. Dont let her get in . Just leave her alone and talk to you hb . Good luck
