MIL turns pregnancy announcement into doom & gloom
Show your support
Firstly congratulations. Also I’m guessing she isn’t ill or anything she is just throwing shade at you for not getting pregnant earlier I assume? I would just ignore her and if you wanted to just delete her comment. There is no need for her to put something like that
My mums said that about all 3 grand children. She’s still here and the eldest is now 3 1/2 It’s crazy to me but 🤷🏻♀️she talks about dying everytime I see her. She’s not in great health but she’s not dying! 🤦🏻♀️
@Cash oh I am absolutely ignoring it, I haven’t replied but way to ruin our happy post 🙈
@Katie She’s not a unwell woman, just doesn’t live a healthy lifestyle if you know what I mean, but her health/lifestyle hasn’t changed in the 8 years my husband and I have been together. So there’s no immediate concern, i guess so, even though she is aware of our fertility issues conceiving. It’s just frustrating that on our happy post she’s now getting all this sympathy from people and making our news about her 🙄
@Carla snap my MIL isn’t dying, she’s just overly dramatic 🤷🏻♀️
@jade I really dislike those who make peoples happy news all about them. I get the feeling she likes all the attention to be on her. Just ignore her and enjoy this time, if she does say something else definitely say something to her as you don’t want to get too stressed or upset
My husband's mother is doing this now that our baby is here. She's a nightmare. She makes no effort to see us but then will say shit about how she'd like to hold her grandson while she still can. Some people just need to make everything about themselves and be the victim. Sorry you're dealing with this, in laws are tough.
Mine says things like this like she never thought she'd be alive for grankids..she's 60! Seriously why do people make others news about them!!! 😩
@jade delete the comment lol that’s what I would do. Then reach out and tell her why
Honestly, I say leave the comment. Leave the comment and let everyone see publicly how petty she is. Let everyone see that that was her reaction. Because I can guarantee you that people are going to see it and think poorly of her.
Some people are mood vampires, their sole joy is sucking the happiness out of the room. If you’ve had fertility issues she’s aware of, I’d personally say it’s a spiteful comment about having to wait for a grandchild. I’d delete it and if she asks I’d say “it’s about us and our happiness, not your sympathy comment”. Seems like everyone else has ignored her which is good
I’m due in December as well but haven’t announced via social media yet. I agree with others to just keep the comment and ignore it. I wouldn’t even respond to her comment.
Lmfao wow! These melodramatic women 😂🤦♀️🙄 id either delete it or comment ya hope so! Or something as stupid as her 😂🤦♀️
As someone who just lost their father-in-law 3 months before his first grandchild is due, her attention seeking deeply offends me.

Respond: well, either way, one of us will be happy 🤣
@Cassandra oh gosh I’m so sorry you’re going through that too. You have pretty much described how my MIL treats her son, so I don’t hold out much hope when little one arrives. Thankfully my parents are very excited and will be there for us all x
@Ali my best friend has already messaged me saying WTF is wrong with her, so your right people are defiantly judging her already. Which is a shame but absolutely her fault
@Hannah I’m so sorry for your loss, we lost my husbands dad in 2020 and he would have adored our little one. Honestly her attitude doesn’t surprise me anymore but I am trying to be the bigger person and just ignore her pettiness x
Just delete her comment and keep celebrating
