Can I redo my MIL answer?

MIL convinced DH to agree to us to spend the whole weekend at her house. Free food and a weekend away sounded pretty darn good to me. 

First,  she says: You do know that when you are staying at home with the baby all day that is YOUR job to take care of him?  Don't expect DH to do everything.

What are you talking about crazy lady?  No, I'm going to let my child sit in a poopy diaper and starve until DH gets home.

Second, she was obsessed with my weight all weekend. She told me my doctor/his scale was stupid because there was no way I hadn't gained any weight.  Her new nickname for me?  Fatso.  Not joking.

Third, she told DH he wasn't going to be "the best dad" because he will be just like his overprotective father.  WTF lady?!  Great confidence builder for your son!

Lastly, she told me she won't be able to make it to her first grandson's bris because she doesn't want to take off work, but she spent 5 weeks in California this summer with my oldest BIL.

I swear she takes crazy pills before we come over.  I have no idea where all this came from and kind of feel she's just mad at us for leaving and taking it all out at once.

Re: Can I redo my MIL answer?

  • Good grief! You have me convinced she takes crazy pills just for your visits. What horrid things to say to her son and DIL. I think you are right, though. She's upset about your leaving and handling it horridly. Still doesn't make it right or ok. Sorry you are dealing with that.

  • Wow, talk about dealing with it immaturely. Hopefully she'll get over it before Baby Sheks makes an appearance. And I hope your DH knows he's going to be a great Dad!

  • oh my..  Sh!t would've hit the fan if my MIL said that stuff to me.  That's a bunch of crap.  
  • Wow, you are escaping just in time!
    I bet she's just upset that you're leaving now that its happening so soon.

  • Wow, she said some really awful things.  What did your DH say to all of this? I am sorry she was so mean to you.

    He was pretty upset at her, but is of the same opinion as me.  There is only 3 more weeks until we leave, she only does this on rare occasion and there isn't really any need to confront her since it will only start more drama.  We don't need drama.  I really really do love her a lot and think she's only doing this to express some sort of repressed anger at us for leaving.
