This is just one of many I will share but definately the most hurtful. When our son was born the doctors thought he had cystic fibrosis. My husband and I chose not to tell anyone until we got the final results back so we wouldn’t upset everyone unecessarily if he was alright. So in the end we found out that Owen is a carrier of the disease but does not have it. My husband was also to be found a carrier but I was not. Anyway, we tell my in laws that we need to talk to them about something due to the fact that now all of my husbands brothers need to get tested for when they are ready to have children.
This was literally the most stressful thing I have ever gone through in my life and you would think that my MIL would be sympathetic since she had four sons of her own. This was her response to when we told her, and I quote “That’s all you have to tell me? Who knew first? Well even if he had it he could have a lung transplant when he’s older”.” She is truly evil. Beat that one…

Good morning Ladies!
I just wanted to make a small comment to some posts that are still in the admin console. Many times, we come up with catchy phrases for our titles of our stories like this one ” Top this one”. I don’t believe it is meant to lessen the severity of other women’s stories on this board.
This board is a place for women to come and not be judged and have to bite their tongue. Most of us have to walk on eggshells with our mothers-in-law already and shouldn’t have to do that here. This is “Our” community. I might own the site but it’s still ours and we need to treat one another like friends. It’s giving as a healthy outlet to 1. Help other women by providing a new perspective. 2. To vent. 3. To laugh by swapping stories and 4. to feel like your not alone.
Thanks:-)) Have a wonderful day!!

Google “Narcissistic Personality Disorder,” and I’ll bet you’ll find many of the traits to be those of your MIL.
If so, I’m sorry.
glad your little guy is OK.

That is the most selfish, sick way of even thinking of your own flesh and blood. Your mil should be put into a mental hospital. Obviously there is some loose screws in her head. Hopefully your husband stood his ground towards your mil. Not only should he expect his mother to be understanding toward his family, You, your child, and his brothers. Doesn’t sound like you can count on her to much..I don’t think that is a easy thing to do when your mil belittles you and your family that way. Bless you an your family with good health.
