DH & I feel like bad things tend to happen in sets of 3s.
So far we started with finding out MIL has cancer and now I'm laid off. It seems at least like the severity is less with each incident? That's a good thing, right?
I feel like we're just waiting for a pin to drop.
Do you think bad things happen in 3s?

I'm so sorry for your situation. 
Two years ago it did to us! FIL had an accident with fireworks on the Fourth of July that left him in the hospital for a long time with severe injuries. We had an issue where we were forced to refinance our house during this same time. Then we found out DH's incredibly immature and irresponsible sister was pregnant.
Gah. That was a tough time on DH.

Yes, I definitely feel like bad things happen in 3s! Well, it has to me in the past!
Hang in there!

I find that deaths seem to happen in 3s. Last week both DH and I lost an uncle and then (admittedly not close to us but to our family), my BIL lost one of his best friends.
Sorry the hear about your MIL and job. I hope that there is nothing else lurking around the corner.

i am so sorry about your situation
i am not superstitious though so i don't think something else bad will happen just because 2 things already have.

@HLK208: same.
When it rains good, it's good, but when it rains bad, it pours bad baby! Ugh.

@locavore_mama: I don't think they do all the time, but we probably tend to remember more about bad things that happen together... I'm so sorry you lost your job! Did it just happen? Will keep your MIL in prayers!

My husband really believes good and bad things happen in 3's. Me: I'm not so sure.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles lately! That's really tough.

@locavore_mama: I'm sorry about the adversities you are facing right now.
In my family/culture we tend to believe that only deaths happen in 3s.

I am not sure about things happening in 3s but unfortunate events do seem to happen all at once for us too. I hope you can catch a break and sending you lots of positive thoughts, prayers, and energy.

Just got a call from our credit card company. Someone tried to charge almost $600 on our credit card on Saturday. On a card we have not used in over two years. How the heck did they get the #??
I'm counting this as my 3rd bad thing.
