Weekly family bitchfest! Nov 14th

[obi]

Today is world diabetes day, y'all!  
That is a source of plenty of bitchin' for me because even after nearly 8yrs, my MIL still does not fucking get it, but I'll spare you... for now.  

Anyway, who is driving you crazy?  They said whaaaaaaaat?! 

Let the catharsis begin!

The 1st thing out of my MIL's mouth (in response to our maternity photos) was "wow, these pictures make you look really big."

Diabetes day? <wipes away caramel trail off mouth from full sized snicker bar>

My family was over for my birthday on Saturday.

Mil has to comment on everything. She was saying something about me getting upset because she spilled on the table cloth (um no its a table cloth, don't act like I'm a weirdo)

Then we were blowing bubbles for dd. "BUBBLES IN THE HOUSE?!?!" um yea lighten up.

Then she just thinks she always can parent dd. Again. Um no. I'm her mom. STFU.

(These are harmless things, just so annoying).

MIL let ds have some of her diet coke today. He ratted her out. It pisses dh off more than me so I'm just going to sit back and let him handle this.
I've been getting annoyed at DH's family's need to get things done right this second. Mil dropped ds off and while she was here she called SIL and told her to arrange an appt for Christmas pictures. Not 2 minutes later I get a text from SIL to me and SIL 2. SIL 2 responded quickly so of course I had to drop everything I was doing to give my input. I don't love being on my phone while ds is awake unless absolutely necessary. It only took 10 minutes but still.

callmeKD whaaaa? That is so rude! Not to mention, I totally disagree. You looked adorable in the photo you posted here.

.. step brother-in-law. Side note, I could just ignore him completely. My dh was never around him as he was the oldest and was gone by the time my dh's mom married his dad. (and I adore my stepfather-in-law).

In his anger over the outcome of the election, he's started using racial slurs towards Caucasians. I LOVE the ethnic diversity of my extended family. I hate racial slurs and generalization soooooo much.

Why did he have to go there? It makes me so sad

Umm.. you're pregnant with twins.  DUH!!!  You're supposed to be getting big faster than the rest of us.  ~rolls eyes~  What a thoughtless thing to say!   Egads, I am so sorry you have to go through this.

I feel huge because I am not allowed to do anything but take it easy.  Thank the Lord noone says anything like this to me or I'd probably break down and cry before screaming at them that of course I'm not physically fit.. but at least I'm not on bed rest! 

Can I yell at your MIL for you?  I really really want to.  I've btdt with getting huge and my pregnancy was over before the third trimester!  I can't imagine if I'd carried them even close to term.

~flails~  I think I'm feeling seriously intolerant today.  My parents do this.. but my ex-inlaws are the worst.  I try to just tolerate it as they are not around much.  My oldest seriously gained five pounds when she was 11 years old and spent two weeks with them because my mil fed them soo much crap.

missi I guess he missed the "we go high" thing, eh? Racial slurs serve no purpose in forward movement. I'm so irritated and I don't even know the guy!
