And the Oscar goes to.... my MiL!!

Daisymom, the way that the overgrown baby of your MiL is behaving without a shred of feeling towards your condition now, I would say that you have borne it very patiently and are just venting out your feelings here lighheartedly.

Spider, Anyone one else in the OP's situation could easily have started a stronger sounding thread and vented out her frustrations. That would have elicited a different set of responses and certainly no one would have accused her of being disrespectful!

 

That should be the way. It is your and your DH's home and you both are not answerable to anyone on what you want to buy for your home.

 

Cannot be too sure about the Oscar but i think ur mil will get the filmfare:rotfl
Anyway Congratulations! U r goin to be a mommy soon! Don't worry urself too much with all this...i think u shud make ur mil join the gym or something...she seems to be lazy...can't think of a better solution rite now...

But u take care of ur health nd enjoy the rest of ur pregnancy!

 

Get an air bed. It wont even take space after use. u insist to sleep on the bed..baby first then others !

 

Dear,
Hugs and love to you. This is a great place to vent and I hope that helps you.

Yes, your MIL will get Oscar, Filmfare and any other award out there. She seems to be lonely and insecure and trying to grab attention like this.

All her kids have wife,children and so she just wants some of their attention.

My ex MIL was exactly like this. She was very lazy and slept all day and did no work but had a lot of issues ( according to her).
I myself had so many issues that ignored it for sometime. When I was at home in my last trimester.. it started bothering me as my hormones were haywire and my ex was a horrible person anyways.

I just did this- I bought tons of vitamins and put them in colorful bottles and told her that this is a new medicine. I pursuaded H to give her 1 everyday with his own hands.

We also got Dabur Lal Tel and put it in a fancy bottle and asked him to massage her feet where she had pain ;every night. ( I told him other wise I am walking out with the baby and never seeing your face).

After 2 weeks she felt much better...Although she was never cured fully but at least not taking showers and sleeping on the sofa all day stopped.

I wish all the best to you. You will have a baby soon. Just get prepared for the coming baby with another baby.

Good Luck.

Firstly congratulations on your pregnancy!

It is quiet possible your MIL is going through severe depression. Sometimes depression manifests into physical aches and pains. Moreover her sleep routine seems very unusual for a normal person and looks like she still doesn't feel very much rested (claims of suffering from insomnia)! In some women menopause leads to depression too (i think it has got to do with harmones). Next time she needs to visit a doctor maybe all these symptoms can be described to the doctor who can diagnose if indeed she is suffering from depression.
A person who suffers from depression seeks attention, can feel very insecured and does not consciously empathise or care for the other person's needs, so don't take it too personally if she comes across as she does not care for your baby.
From your side, don't let these things stress you out ( i know you r trying your best), try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. It is good your mom is around to help you out, feel pampered and try to make your mom's stay as comfortable as possible for her. I think your mother will get very anxious to see you distress over her comfort more than anything else.
I wish you a very healthy and safe delivery. Take care.:thumbsup
