I’m speechless

Me and my boyfriend currently live with his parents. I’m 30 weeks pregnant now and this morning when I woke up my MIL asked me how I was ( I hate that question because anything I tell her, she says she had it worst or it’s normal, so I’m like wtf) Anyways, I’ve told her this morning that I have pains everywhere and I haven’t slept the whole night.. really feeling weak and dizzy, she obviously replied saying it’s normal. Alright, cool. 3 hours after I come out of the room and she calls my name, I go in there and she’s like “oh I’m signing up for swimming, you want to come?” And I’m like “oh no no no, thanks” She started laughing in my face saying “why? you don’t like swimming?” Like…. Bitch I just fucking told you I HAVE NO STRENGTH at all. All I can do is just go for a 15 min walk and that’s it. She then started saying how I should be more active and shit like that. Honestly she just gets on my nerves.

Hi hun! I feel your pain, my M.I.L doesn't like me because i'm from the Carribbean, my husband Wouldn't dear bring her around me and neither would I go near her... You and your husband need to get your own place , even if It's a 1 bedroom apartment, until you move you won't have peace and sanity.

If you guys can get your own place then go for it because it’s only going to get worse once your baby is here. It’s a shame when they don’t sympathise with you, it’s like they’ve never been through it before. I’m like you’re a mother yourself, you were pregnant once, you gave birth and you raised your kids so you know exactly how it is🤦🏻‍♀️

Sometimes giving responses that will neutralise the situation is helpful, I use this on my own mother 😂 Sometimes people just want to get a rile out of you, could also be subconscious because they were brought up in an environment where it was normalised. Protect yourself and say you’re fine. If she says you need to be more active say your right then go make a sandwich and put your feet up, you might find conversation lessens but at least you have peace 😅

@T I like this a lot! Imma try it from tomorrow when she asks lol

@T haha smart. I will be doing this from now on as well! Oh and your dog is so cute btw🥹

Yes! Let me know how it goes 😂 Honestly sometimes you just need to wave a white flag 🏳️ Lately my mums been quite confused (she doesn’t know I’m pregnant yet) but I want to stay calm, she’s now asking my siblings if I’m okay and if there’s anything wrong 😂 because I’m not giving her the usual responses. That’s when I realised she knows what she’s doing but finds it normal. Which it isn’t 🙃 but hey ho! The generational trauma stops here!

@Claudia let me know how it goes too! And thank you 😅 she’s my first baby! 🥰 first human baby will meet us at the end of the year!

Swimming actually is really helpful it releases a lot of pain because the weight floats in the water
