Mother-In-Law = Woman Hitler.

Being a nurse doesnt mean you know how to raise kids though.

Don't think that's what she's saying 34. Though I'm sure OP will make a fine mother, the issue is about her bitch of a mother in law being ridiculous. Old people with their old school views make me SO mad sometimes.

Wow you're going to have fun once it's born - especially if you plan to work with a child, I can imagine the comments!

maybe she just wants whats best for the baby and she cares... u know her better than i do tho

47 but there is also the possibility that Op could catch a disease from one of the patients and eventually harm both OP and her baby

^ party pooper

Mother in law= woman hitler

47- Being in a HOSPITAL does not make you or the baby you are carrying inside of you invincible.

what a bitch

Not an absolute rule but ya...mothers who are nurses generally are better at taking care of someone. Its what they do.

Why did this comment get thumbs down? You get a few idiots on the vinegar and coke post and everyone gets over sensitive

THANK YOU 74 that was what I was going to say, probably 50% of people that are in a hospital are probably sick and thee is probably a good chafe that working there with all those diseases could harm the baby! Sry but I agree with the MIL

Sadly, assholes like her mother-in-law NEVER shut up....

Then OP should tell her to shut the heck up or she'll never be able to see the grandchild until she writes an apology. That crazy mother-in-law will never say sorry after being so rude.

Children are not bargaining chips 33...:)

53 yes they are haha

54- No they are in that sense. I wouldn't let anyone see my kids if they were going to bitch about how I raise them.

Thank goodness my mil is amazing. It's my own mother that constantly feels the need to tell me how to raise my son. Finally she asked me a couple weeks ago why she never sees him. I told her that until she can mind her own business and keep her unwanted comments to herself then she wouldn't be seeing my child. She hasn't been mean since. So yes they are bargaining chips in a way. You just have to have enough of a backbone to do it. Never let someone else make you feel inferior when raising your child. It is your child and you need to do what you feel is best, whether that's not allowing grandparents to see them or not. It is your job to protect them from crazy people and if that's your own family well then you do what you have to do.

It was always just understood in my family that while at grandmas her rules were followed and while at home my rules were followed. But neither my mom nor MIL are/were bad so I guess my perspective may just be a bit askew. I still believe the problem can be resolved without using the child as a weapon. It's the adults problems so keep the kid out of it. IMO...:)

Nag nag nag nag nag...

Birthception? laborception? damn i suck at inception jokes

Ok now I seriously need to learn photoshop.

wouldn't a hospital be the worst place to work while pregnant? higher likelihood of passing something infectious to the fetus that wouldn't ordinarily be harmful to an adult. granny's right

Are you saying we need to choose our partners by their mothers character? And if our future mother-in-law isn't as nice as we expect her to be, we need to dump our man because of her? Boy, you're talking shit. I choose my partner by his personality, not by that of his mother. Ofcourse, it's pretty sad for OP if her husband never stand up for her, but that tells more about him than about the mother-in-law.

I think she was saying if OP's husband would have let his mother know not to talk to his wife that way then this wouldn't have happened. And she assumes that since OP was treated like this then it wasn't the first time this has happened.

I'd have my mother leave my home if she was talking to my wife like that. Op does have a spineless husband. The mother probably has something to do with that.

Hey Djeepee, try reading 4's comment again because you COMPLETELY missed the whole point of 4's comment. Apparently your urge to jump down someone's throat was so strong that you couldn't have been bothered to actually read the comment. I'm more than a little disturbed that so many people thumbed up such an ignorant comment.

iedereen het gek...

4's comment is full of assumptions, such as assuming it wasn't the first time the in-law was a bitch and assuming that her husband didn't stick up for her. The FML is about being wrongly berated, but dosent say what happened afterward.

It wouldn't be a FML if her husband defended her. She would have been happy, not posting a FML .

Also it states that this happened infront of her husbands family, her husband may not have even been there at that point in time.

well, given that the mil had her rant, I don't think OP's husband said anything... spineless arsehole...

How do you know? He could have been shut up every time he tried to stand up for her. Don't judge if you don't know.

Watch your language, boy.

It's extremely irritating for a know-it-all older person to stick their nose in your biz or insist on not following commonly understood safety practices because: "I raised 3 kids of my own and they are fine"... I've had to get rid of a sitter for insisting on laying my baby face down and trying to make me feel stupid for telling her to keep her on her back while sleeping.. A main preventer of SIDS and common sense since newborns don't have neck strength or control to protect themselves from smothering. Put her straight now or you will have to keep hearing her annoying and outright scary (if shes babysitting), outdated nonsensical childcare practices
