"Hi Mom?! You're 56, did you know that?"
That is what I wish I could say to my mother right now.
I called her last night just to say Hi and mentioned that Dave and I have chosen Aug 1 as my c-section date if the baby decides to stay put until then. The doc had told us to pic a few dates that we would like and we'd schedule at the next appt.
So she says "You know that's ____ birthday right?!"
(____ is my sisters mother...so my dad's ex-wifes b-day. Who I see maybe 2-3x a year and do not celebrate birthdays or holidays with)
I told her I didn't care b/c she wasn't a big part of my life and the reason we chose the date is b/c IF we can choose, that works best for us.
She was SO MAD I didn't reconsider the date after she told me it was my dad's ex-wifes birthday. Hi it's been over 30 years since the divorce , can you GET OVER IT?! Everyone else has!
First of all- I don't even know that the doc will say we can schedule it for that day, second- the boy could decide to come on his own terms on a completely different date...so why even WORRY about it.
So- I tried calling this morning, and now she wont answer the phone. She did this to me last time I was pregnant and it took her 2 days before she'd talk to me again over some other minor thing.
I don't know who is worse MIL or Mom - they are both children.
Re: "Hi Mom?! You're 56, did you know that?"
Oh gosh. I'm sorry she's being that way
. Couldn't she just say that she's happy for you?
Wow, that's some grudge she's holding. She'll get over it. And if she doesn't, it's not your problem.
I think parents and in-laws just like to stress us out!
Hey....how come you aren't on the new board???
wow. she really needs to get over it. life is too short to get so upset over such minor things. sorry she is being like that to you. maybe just forget about calling her for awhile- you don't need to extra stress anyway!
