Oh My MIL
So my bday was friday and H's is tomorrow. We had dinner this evening at his mothers. She has been known to overstep bounds on occasion. Well tonight was the granddaddy of them all.
We were getting ready to leave and she asked me to step into the bedroom. I go with her and she said she can't help but notice that I haven't announced that we are expecting. And she really really wants grandchildren. So she wanted to help "speed things along" and proceeds to give me a bag with get this. Pre-seed lube and a flimsy red lace teddy. I almost died. Does anyone else have these boundary issues with their MIL?
Re: Oh My MIL
Oh. My. Goodness. Haha, I don't have any issues like that, thankfully!! I'm sorry you had to deal with that and hopefully it doesn't happen again.
OMG that is crazy! MIL and FIL say they would love grandchildren ASAP, but they respect that we aren't having kids for a few years... plus MIL would never give me a teddy and lube to "move things along."
I am so sorry!
What did your H say when you told him?
LOL, this...if my MIL actually gave me something like that I would have a heart attack and die.....WOW!

I didn't know what to say. I think my reply was um ok well thanks?.
H laughed until he cried on the way home and said he'd talk to her about it.
OMG how awkward!! That's seriously the definition of over stepping, I can't believe of all the things she could do to encourage you two to start making babies, is to get you a teddy and some lube!
Next time she mentions it, tell her you and your H really need to get away somewhere tropical and warm to get your baby making juices flowing....maybe she'll book you a vacation or start to shut up about it! lol

THIS!!! I would do this in a heartbeat because it's true. Either she will book the vacation or she will shut up.
But I guess I am curious to know are you guys trying or planning to soon? Or is she just rushing things and going for wishful thinking?
AWESOME idea!!!
My H's grandmother is always asking when we're having kids, but I don't think she'd ever go that far. My mom, however, did once tell me that she thinks I don't do enough to keep H interested in me, so she gave me a bunch of lingerie to wear for him...thanks Mommy...
o...m....g!!! my mouth literally fell open when i read that! wth?!
i agree with the tropical vacation suggestion! hahaha ;-)
My BFP Chart Danger Love Blog
AWKWARD &%$#@!!! I had to shake the cobwebs in my head clear on that one and re-read it to make sure I was reading it right!
Wow, just wow....
Wow, that is funny to read, but I'm sure awkward to live.
My MIL doesn't cross boundaries in that sense, but she has little boundaries for herself. She's a hippy, which is cool, but sometimes she takes it a little far. At the family reunion last year, she was openly skinny dipping with her BF in the lake not far from where the kids were playing. Then when DH and I walked by, she actually stood up (could see her top) to talk to us about dinner. DH was angry and I was mortified. She also changed in front of me the first time I met her (and she doesn't wear a bra). But, I love her, I really do.
