OMG!!! I would have stood up and knocked her @ss on the ground! Of course, this coming from someone (me) who doesn't even get along with her MIL, lol and my kids don't even have a grandma. LOL Anyways... I sure and H E L L wouldn't talk to her or go near her until she apologizes.
Your right, it's not when she wants it she gets it, (sounds like a little kid, 2 year old?) And it's when you two are ready, and it happens. I probably would have hashed out some serious harsh words with her and threatened her that she is walking a fine line of not seeing grandkids when they come. Of course, something like that naturally comes out of my mouth when people deserve it. (heat of the moment sort of this)
Gosh, I am sorry you have to deal with that! BUT congrats on the 12 lbs! A chicken sandwhich is actually more healthy then a salad. Because of the proteins! =) Don't let someone tell you that you shouldn't eat this or that, yadda yadda yadda! Hang in there! The weight will peel off and you'll get prego, and be super happy! =)
Thank you laura.. if/when I do become pregnant, I don't plan to tell her until IM ready.. getting pregnant doesn't you have to tell anyone and everyone the second you find out.
So, she will have her time to wait.. That's about all I can say to her. lol.
Maybe she is getting close to menopause or something! I have no idea why she acted as she did.. Just hope it NEVER happens again, or I WILL end all communication from her to me.
Thanks... I plan to ignore her until I get a reasonable apology.. and not unless it's sincere.
Kudos on the 12 pounds!~ That is AWESOME!! Weight loss is such a hard and sometimes embarrassing battle! I can totally empathize..
As far as your MIL.. I literally would have got up and exited the building.. I would NOT take that type of belittlement. She should be ashamed of herself and she CERTAINLY owes you an apology.. There is a way to be supportive and nice and she wasn't being either. That doesn't even classify as ANY Type of constructive criticism.. She was flat out being verbally abusive...I think you are well justified to avoid and even refuse to talk to her until she apologizes. That was awful and I am sorry she did that to you. I can imagine your humiliation! I am glad your dh sees she was in the worng and is being supportive. Hopefully he has a LONG time with his Mother..
Hang in and keep up the good work!!
That was just HORRIBLE of her and just plain WRONG.... and especially in a public place... OH HELL NO...... Your right to ignore her until you get an apology.... she was totally in the wrong in this and you deserve for her to say sorry...... I know that must have been very hurtful..... WELL you just keep up the good work and dont let her discourage you, your on the right track! 12 lbs is good!
They said for my height I should be around 125-130ish... I'm almost 200... :(
but even still I've lost 12 pounds now so I know I'm capable of losing the weight. It just takes a while.. and I need to be motivated.. For how she was screaming at me, I just want to eat and eat... I think she should support me too if she wants grandchildren that much..
I mean it makes sense to support someone when their in need if they get something out of it too.. It's like she was a different person. Which is why I don't understand it...
Well how over weight are you??? She shouldn't have been like that at all. Too bad if she wants grandkids you'll get pregnant in your own time. Losing weight doesn't just happen it take time and hard to do she should support you unstead of screaming at you.
I wanted to believe me. But, I don't hit people. Even when they push me over my limit. I've came a few times to punching someone... I have anger issues that I've been working through my entire life, so hitting her would have made me fall of the wagon. Once I start, I won't finish!!
I would say I would never talk to her again, but it's hard to avoid her. She's always around or always trying to go out to eat with the family. And it being the holidays, there's no avoiding her right now. I will however ignore her until I get an apology. She did and said things that were uncalled for.
