S/O SIL baby news

The two of us and our husbands aunt went to a baby shower right after MIL was diagnosed.  The MTB was MIL's god daughter and we went in place of MIL.  (did you get all that Smile )

At the shower SIL became really emotional while MTB was opening gifts, so we decided to take off a little early.  As we were walking out DH's aunt turns to SIL and says, "you know if you get pregnant, I'm sure that will encourage MIL to get better".  I really couldn't believe she said that to her.  And although SIL and I usually don't see eye to eye, I had to stick up for her. 

I mean it may encourage MIL to fight more, but that doesn't mean her survival is reliant on having a grand child.  No one needs that kind of pressure, especially when TTC.

Just thought I'd share.

  • Wow... Indifferent

    Implying that your MIL's survival in any way depends (even the slightest bit) on something your SIL can or can not (because you don't know each persons situation, what if she couldn't get KU?!) do it super shitty. SUPER shitty.

  • I commented how it will help her fight, but wow.  I in no way was implying or even thinking that she should GET preggo because of it.  Some people just need to turn their filters ON.
  • Sarah, that's one of the things I vented to H about.  Who know's if they were IF or having trouble, it's none of anyones business but theirs.

    Cristina, it was actually your response that reminded me of the convo. However I know your intentions were far from theirs even from the way you stated it.

  • Does MIL know yet??? I can't remember if she did or didn't know. 

  • Oh yeah I hadn't mentioned that huh.  Yes she does know.  And the funny thing...no one seems that excited apart from BIL, SIL, DH and I. 
  • I think being able to meet her first grandbaby will help her fight also. It's good for your MIL because it will help keep her spirits up and everything. I just think it's tacky for someone else to put that pressure on your poor SIL, because - again, no one knows/knew their situation.

    This exactly!

    If I was you I would have yell at her, punch her and then start crying....but then again we have been TTC unsuccessfully for 7 months now...so I might be a little more emotional than most people...hehehe.
