Joint Family:MIL Problem!
2005-01-14
Name: Confused



Hi Everyone. I'm confused and would appreciate your help. I am currently pregnant and having issues with my mother in law. This is my second child and she wanted me to find out if I was having a boy. My husband and I told her we were not finding out. Since then, she has stopped talking to me and does not even mention my pregnancy. My MIL and FIL are coming to live with me in the next few months. They do not treat my husband or daughter any differently, but it is if I and my unborn child do not even exist! She is a very good grandmother to my daughter, and wanted a girl then, but I am concerned about her attitude for the next baby. What if it is a girl? I am very mad, upset and confused! Any suggestions, comments would be very much appreciated.

U pretend on your side that all is hunky dory...Don't let her make this into an issue.
At the same time talk to your husband..and have him talk to her and explain, that it doesn't matter wether it is girl or boy...today times have changed..and as long as the baby is healthy that is all we should look forward to.
Sometimes by pretending that some problem doesn't exsit things get resolved. I know u must be feeling horrible..but hey..u enjoy your pregnancy...and if u say that she is a good grandmom...trust me ...when the new baby comes...all this will be forgotten.
