    Sorry poppies. What a douche BIL. Get them the cool fun gifts as you always would. Eeew, he should not be asking for money, that is super tacky! Sorry you gotta deal with such a tool...

    "I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you.  I know you're bitter.  I get it.  But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
  • Good grief, how rude. I'm sorry you have to deal with them.

    Also, good on you for not responding with some choice words! It sounds like you're doing fine supporting DH by hanging back and being on his side.

  • Thanks again. We are not going to say anything. They have to live being awful people. The only reason any of my ILs give them the time of day is because of the kids. I can go to bed at night knowing that I an honest and truly caring person. I don't put on a show for anyone. 

    Plus, they wouldn't be tough/strong enough to deal with what we're dealing with. ;-)

    Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.
    I've been holding out on GP: I got drunk once and started a blog: Here it is (11/7 update)

  • Blech. That sucks. It's not that they just don't get it (there's lots of things I don't get too), it's that they don't understand how to be supportive. There's a right and wrong way to go about things and that was definitely the wrong way.
