What was your MIL's reaction......

[andrea]

when you told her you were pg

[laughter]

This is a good ? I havn't had that pleasure yet. I can't wait till I am pregnant one day and get to see everyones reaction my MIL asks every holiday we are around her if were pregnant yet, so it should be exciting to see what she does or says.

I am terrified of having to tell my in-laws we are expecting (whenever that happens). At the moment, we plan on waiting as long as possible. I don't have a clue how they will react!

They were ecstatic since they had wanted another grandchild (only had the 1 from his brother) plus we were on our way down to their family reunion. So we told them so they could take care of telling everyone else once we got down there.

"I'm not ready to be a grandma" And after more explaining "Well breast cancer would of been easier for you (talking to my dh) cause then you wouldn't be tied down to her(talking about me)" Let's just say I'm not a huge fan of my mil....honestly I just consider my step mother in law (who is an awesome lady) to be my mil.

Ohh, we told my fil and smil in a restaraunt and smil actually jumped out of her seat and danced! To say they were excited is a total understatement!

She was so happy....they have 14 grandchildren between their kinds, but she was waiting on us to have one...lol...my husband has always been the sucessful one out of his brothers and his mother always said she felt the closest to me out of her daughter in laws so she was thrilled...she can't wait for the next 10 she says.....lmao

:eek: Say what???? She thinks him having a life taking illness would be better than being tied down to you? That pisses me off!

Not quite, she thinks that me having a potentially fatal illness would be better than him being tied down to me. :rolleyes: She moved to Florida when Janelle was just a couple days old so I don't actually have to deal with her anymore.

How pathetic! I'm glad she made like the Jefferson's and moved on up out of your face. Like my son......Janelle is probably better off not knowing the evil side of the family.

Haven't had the pleasure of this annoucement, but both my MIL and my own mother keep telling us that they're in no hurry to be grandmas (again in my MIL's case). I find it amusing because my husband's mother is less than 5 years shy of my dad's mom's age. :rolleyes:

[*~Nicole~*]

I wasn't there but she seemed okay about it......after all his sister lives at home with her two kids from two diff dads so I am sure she didn't have to much to say about us!

[Margarita]

I just found out last night that my husband and his mom talked a little about grandchildren. I guess she brought it up saying she imagines her only grandchildren will be ours (his brother is, well, a freak and probably won't ever find a woman that will marry him, and his sister is a lesbian - there's a chance for adoption there, but it's not extremely likely). She then said something about how she's basically come to terms with the idea that she probably won't know her grandchildren. DH said that was comforting to him because he doesn't have to worry about not calling them to come to the hospital, etc. I think it's really sad, yet a little comforting as well, IF she really understands the way things are.

Good question!

Since I am not pregnant yet, I am half assed dreading the time. I am sure that she will be happy, but on the other hand, I am sure that I will hear "Well, Kim (my SIL) did this.....or when Kim was pregnant with Sam, she did that."

All I hear now is Sammy this and Sammy that, so I am dreaded to hear what she will say when we tell her!

Hehehe, when she starts talkin like that you can say "Oh yeah, Roni did that months ago. Wait isn't she way younger than Sammy? Oops, nevermind." I know, I know I'm evil (but I'm so good at it mwahahaha :evil: ).

[kristen nov02]

I know that she will be really happy but she will probably be shocked at first. I am kind of dreading it because I know she will probably think that we are too young. :rolleyes: I wish that her opinion would not bother me but it still does. I want to be happy when it is the right time for us, and not everyone else!

[monkeygirl38]

Knowing her, she will cry !! She will be estatic! My mom says the "I'm not ready to be grandma" thing too, but I think she will be thrilled.....the one I can't wait to see with a grandchild is my Dad.....He will be head over heels for her/him!
