mother in law from hell - might actually be the devil! lol

Finally today didn't let my mother in law bully me like she normally does, I stood up for myself... with her asking questions like why the hell would I go off the pill in the first place and I planned this pregnancy on my own... I told her it was OUR (meaning me and her son),s decision for me to go off the pill and have unprotected sex,  we knew the consequences,  and if a baby was to be that then we would be over the moon, like we are. I told her I want her to be supportive of this baby (I mean, were both 23, we've been together for 3.5 years and living together for 18 months) its really not a bad situation at all! Anyway,  I ended up crying and running out of their house, no me and my partner are back at home, but seriously people, be thankful if you've got even slightly friendly inlaws, because mine is a BIT*H!!!

I'm sorry babe. Everyone judges my spouse and I for planning this pregnancy. I'm 22, and we've been together for 7 years.
My boyfriends mom is still a child herself (the way she still parties and has no job)
But she's supportive,  as far as I can tell.

I hope you put some perspective to everything for her. Don't let her ruin your happiness!

My mil is the same, when I had baby #7 she said that I was stupid and I she didn't know how we where going to do it financially. Well it was her son that screwed us over and lost a house and business. When we have this baby we are not going to even tell her.It's my fault we have all these children, My mil is the type that when you stick up for yourself she cries and isn't interested and doesn't want to hear it.

Tarajolly - I think thats exactly it, she's jealous she doesn't have control of her son, mind you, this stuff has been going on since we got together over 3 years ago, somehow I just thought me carrying her grandchild would change her sour attitude a bit!
AngelesV - sorry to hear your in a similar situation, I've also had problems with my sister in law aswell previously and its a horrible position, especially for the partner to be put in.. im lucky my family is supportive and very happy :)

Tell me why I know exactly what youre talking about!!!! My motger in law and sister in law have called me stupid for getting pregnant,  I mean I get im 16 & hes 20. He has a job and we can take care of ourselves. I feel like only my mother has the right to tell me anything.  I never said anything to them but I told my bf and he defended me but if they ever do I will go crazy !

I'm sorry you have to deal with that :/ my mother in law is a looney bin! She up and left my husband and his brothers when they were young and now that they all have kids she wants to be a part of their lives! One minute she acts all sweet to your face and the next she is talking ****!! If you both wanted this baby congrats and don't let her bring you down!  A baby is a blessing and she sounds like she jealous that you took her son away from her
