ouch, i ditto @chopsuey119's comment!!!
-
Is this the same woman who fed your baby rocky road ice cream?
Sheesh.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: yeah, and salami!
-
ZOMG. This makes me livid. This is the kind of stuff I'm pretty sure my MIL thinks but only says behind my back
-
OMG. that is absurd... wow....
my brother said something similar this weekend at Thanksgiving. DH took a turn with DS so I could play a game with my family. When my brother asked if DH was joining the game I was he was on "baby-duty" and my brother shook his head and said, "poor guy."
ummm excuse me!! It made me so mad. I had it out with my brother, I said Cobi is just as much his son and he is mine and I am not the only one responsible for him and fathers need to help too. My brother laughed and though it was funny.yeah not funny. ugh.
-
1) poor baby!
Hope she gets better soon!
2) Ugh to the MIL. But I can't say I would be too surprised if that came out of any old-school mom's mouth. I would just have to make some comment about the changing modern times and let it go. But @Mrs. Pen: I would be SHOCKED and smack the brother probably if it were someone of our generation or younger who made the comment! -
@shopaholic: yeah I told him its a good thing he's not a father
sad thing is his wife would make the most amazing mother but I could see it as a point of contention if they ever have kids
-
@Mrs. Pen: Some of my male coworkers said the same thing today when I told them DH was watching LO! Poor guy, way to ruin his time off, you better make it up to him....good thing they don't have kids yet!
-
@autumnlove: they will learn. Sadly I think it is a male mindset that doesn't change until they have kids or are married to a woman who demands it lol. I was clear with DH while I was pregnant that this wasn't just MY baby, he's ours and that means equal responsibility. I know he would have been great had I not had that discussion several times but I'm still glad I did. Especially because it was a lot harder to him than he imagined.
-
It is definitely an old fashioned mindset. When I mentioned that DH needed a diaper bag today, my mom laughed at me. She also laughs when I mention DH changing diapers or doing stuff. Dh always gets annoyed b/c he's like, "What makes her think I don't WANT to do stuff?" This is just how it is now
Thankfully, hahHopefully those guys' wives teach them a thing or two about equal parenting and won't stand for that.
-
I'm jaw-dropped. This lady is rude! and salami?! Who does that?!
-
Dude I would loose my mind. Well I would probably not say anything to her, but I`d totally call my sister and loose my mind to her! lol! You win the MIL award today!
-
@prettylizy: I was going to post on your wall earlier and ask for suggestions for a sweet Prettylizy response to my MIL!

@autumnlove: I
hHahaha, I know he`s not the mother, and baby girl reminds me every time she is around how much she loves her mama. I wish I had more time to spend with her like you did when Hubs was young.
-
I am so infuriated for you. Yes, you are the mother, but he is also a parent and is perfectly capable of taking care of his child when it works best your schedules. I would not have been able to bite my tongue. I probably would have said "Well it is a good thing we don't really care about your opinion in the matter."
-
boy oh boy. she sounds like a piece of work!!
Hope she gets better soon!

Thankfully, hah
