She has admitted that she should stop because it isn't her baby. But she still does it. At least she knows its annoying without me having to tell her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-712031 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:30:42 +0000 Revel 712031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: You gave me my first genuine laugh on a day where I really needed it!

I haven't even given birth yet but every time I talk to my dad he asks "how's my baby girl doing?", and I answer with how I am doing even though I know he's referring to the the baby in my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711977 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:10:03 +0000 pinkcupcake 711977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I guess I'm the odd one that doesn't find it annoying, but sweet... To me, it shows how much the person loves her :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711975 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:09:58 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 711975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: SNORT. I'm dying to hear her response. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711973 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:09:44 +0000 sunshineandsushi 711973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is sooo common! I know MIL does this. I've kind of learned to brush it off, but I also think I tend not to respond directly when she asks questions phrased this way. ;) I just keep telling myself it's because she loves them so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711968 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:07:56 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 711968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha amazing love your response!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711967 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:07:46 +0000 boiledpnut 711967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: She said I got her with that one.

I think the "my" part would go over better with the word 'favorite' inserted-- How's my *favorite* baby? </p> <p>Whenever I read these I always think back to the last time I asked my sister about my nephew, but I also say things like "how's my favorite toddler?" or "How's my godson", not how's my baby. He is my favorite toddler, just not my toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711960 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:05:56 +0000 mrsmenow 711960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: OMG what did she say? I would probably die of laughing so hard after saying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711955 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:04:00 +0000 Smurfette 711955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's sister calls R her princess, her baby, etc. drives me crazy. DH doesn't get why I get so upset, he says not like she thinks it is her kid. Um she calls her, her baby!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711954 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:03:46 +0000 boiledpnut 711954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally just told her that her baby was at work and probably having a good day since it's Friday. </p> <p>Thanks for that suggestion! I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711936 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:57:14 +0000 mrsjazz 711936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: @Mrs. Jump Rope: LOVE!

Too bad my MIL refers to my daughter as "my ____" and says her name. Her name isn't Emily but as an example but MIL will get on skype and say thing "Hi My Emily", "How is my Emily doing??". The sound of her voice when she says it is like nails on a chalkboard to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711929 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:55:55 +0000 lilyann 711929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Well played. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711928 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:54:52 +0000 pui 711928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This seems to be a common problem... I wonder if my MIL will be calling our children "my baby".</p> <p>@mrsmenow: hahaha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711927 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:54:28 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 711927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom did this exactly once.</p> <p>She asked "how's my baby?" and I told her I was a bit tired, but overall, I was fine. Kind of cranky because I got my period and could she get me some tampons because I'd run out?</p> <p>Check and mate. She never did it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-is-not-your-baby-a-quick-vent#post-711924 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:53:38 +0000 illumina 711924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Hahahaha too funny!! </p>
